Hotel needs updating… It feels very tired. My room was what looked like an old dilapidated shed in the back of the hotel. Room was as clean as possible… But rug looked ancient, side table was put together with plywood and a white tablecloth. Three very large dining rooms with absolutely nobody in them. Would not recommend staying here.
In the Highlands walking. Looking forward to a hot bath / shower and drying wet clothes at the Hotel. None could be achieved. Boiler failure. Though this doesn't explain why the electric heater didn't work. No discount was offered, a free breakfast had to be requested. It would be a bonus if the room's bathroom door didn't have to be forced over the carpet.
However, good location and Indian food was served at 20:30 in the adjoining pub. Dunkeld itself is a Highland gem of a village.
The staff was extremely friendly. Shout out to the older man running breakfast cooking and serving solo,wasn’t easy since there were so many people. The hotel itself was older but had charm.
We had a very nice stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean, beds comfy, and breakfast was nicely cooked. We enjoyed the pool table and darts in the bar area.

Was great for a one night stop over en route. Beautiful countryside access.
Hotel old, well used but quaint and functional.
Staff helpful.
I had a lovely time here. The room was clean, and for a Saturday evening it was quiet . It is an older building but I love the charm. I also love the coffee and tea in room amenities. The front desk reception was easy and very kind service. Would recommend this place.

A stopover on our way home. The hotel could be described as ‘tired’ but was more than made up for by the super friendly staff.
The hotel is in a great , central location. Although the hotel is a bit tired, the staff were really welcoming and lovely and the service excellent. We would definitely return
