I would definitely recommend the Merryburn. It was just what I needed for an overnight stay.
Pros:

The comfort and cleanliness was excellent. I slept extremely well and woke ready for the next leg of my journey. Loved Dunkeld

A Gem
Pros:

This is my 7th or 8th visit to The Merryburn and a friend is staying there tonight on my recommendation which says it all. I’ve stayed in many different establishments, breaking the journey u on my way to our house in Skye and this is a favourite. Just a short walk or drive to the centre of Dunkeld, The Merryburn is an incredibly comfortable place to stay. The rooms are lovely, scrupulously clean and attractive. Hilary is a very helpful and welcoming host. I can't recommend it highly enough.
