Enjoyed it but would not return.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent. Bar meals good. A lovely old building but desperately in need of some money spending!

Cons:

The room design meant we had to boil the kettle on the floor away from the table it was standing on, not enough sockets as two were behind the bed with no access. The shower was inadequate.

Schloss-/Landhaus-Ambiente
Pros:

Tolle Zimmer im Look eines alten Schlosses, dementsprechend ist auch alles etwas älter, aber das macht wohl den Charme aus. Es hat uns gut gefallen. Die Restaurant- und Aufenthaltsräume im Gebäude sind ebenfalls sehr schön und stilvoll eingerichtet.

Cons:

Die Bar und das Pub schliessen zwischen 21:00 und 22:00 Uhr. Danach kann man weder Getränke noch Speisen erhalten - zu früh, wie wir fanden.

Charming Hotel in beautiful Scottish Village
Pros:

I have always wanted to stay in this hotel as it has a lovely, warm, welcoming Scottish vibe and is situated in the beautiful Blair Atholl very near the amazing Castle and Gardens. The room was comfy and had unique furniture and the lounge and the dining area are exceptional. The staff were very kind, helpful and respectful during our stay and when they served breakfast. I loved the experience and would highly recommend staying here.

An interesting hotel stay spoilt by our room.
Pros:

Good location. Generally a good atmosphere

Cons:

We had booked for 4 nights but were given a tiny room that was not fit for purpose. The shower was dangerous to use, moving between scalding hot to freezing cold on the same setting. Uncontrollable. The deep step down from the the bathroom was dangerous especially with the metal towel rail attached to the inside of the door. The wardrobe had 4 doors but only one could be opened! The bedside lamp was so feeble you wouldn’t know it was on. Such a shame. Other aspects of the hotel were fine.

So scottish, dépaysement assuré
Pros:

Joli hôtel, personnel agréable , le petit déjeuner extra, cadre so british dans un endroit exceptionnel.
Le plateau avec le thé , café et chocolat et même un petit biscuit dans la chambre était très appréciable. Restaurant de l'hôtel pratique et d'un rapport qualité prix assez correct eu égard aux restaurants alentour.

Cons:

Douche sans pression et difficulté à avoir de l'eau chaude. Parking un peu juste en place car certains clients ne respectent pas les emplacements.
