What a lovely place! The rooms were comfortable, and the breakfast was superb. Wonderful hosts and beautiful grounds. Easy walk to restaurants and shops. Wish we could have stayed more than one night.

Leslie and Ronnie are wonderful hosts who could not be more welcoming. I stayed two nights for work , I had a small single room which was adequate for what I needed , there are other larger rooms which would suit a couple or maybe longer stays. The room was spotless and then bed very comfy. Breakfast was cooked to order and they go out of their way to ensure you get exactly what you would like, veggie and vegan customers well catered for too! The location is perfect for exploring beautiful Pitlochry, their garden is wonderful too if you’d like to enjoy a seat in the evening sun. I would highly recommend and hope to stay again, thank you 🙏🏻😊
We recently stayed at the Derrybeg B&B en route to the North Coast 500.
Excellent throughout.
Friendly welcome by the hosts.
Clean, tidy and well appointed room.
First class Scottish breakfast.
Attention to detail faultless.
Best Bed and Breakfast accommodation that we have experienced and would not hesitate to recommend and would use again.

Had a fantastic stay, greeted with a warm welcome from both Lesley and Ronnie they couldn’t do enough. Fantastic breakfast, I loved the fruit salad. The room was fantastic and I had the best nights sleep. Location was perfect to walk to town. Garden with summer house beautiful to sit in!
My sister and I spent 2 days in this outstanding B&B. The owners, Lesley and Ronnie, made us feel so welcome, such a lovely couple. Our room was perfect, very comfy beds and exceptionally clean facilities, has to be 10/10! Will most definitely be back, we love Pitlochry and have now found the perfect place to stay too. Huge thanks for a wonderful experience with you.
Absolutely delightful stay for the Highland Games. The garden is beautiful to sit in, and there's a little garden cottage you can hang out in as well. The rooms are comfortable, and the breakfast is absolutely delicious. The salmon and eggs on toast was a favorite of ours. Easy walk to everything in Pitlochry. The hosts are friendly and there's a very comprehensive info binder in each room. Would stay again.
The Derrybeg was the perfect place for our quick visit through Pitlochry. Lesley and Ronnie made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived, and gave us plenty of recommendations to make the most of our stay. Before we departed, Leslie prepared us an amazing home cooked breakfast, while Ronnie served the food and chatted about our plans for the week. 10/10 would stay again!
Lovely little B&B with very friendly service. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Breakfast was really great with a choice for everyone.

Beinn Bhracaigh is a Victorian bed and breakfast with panoramic highland views. The rooms are upscale and there is a bar with 50 malt whiskeys.
My husband and I spent one night here and we both wished we had stayed longer. The B&B was beautiful and comfortable. The breakfast was the best of our entire trip. The porridge was unforgettable (with Whisky)! The honesty bar is not to be missed with local whisky, gin and beers.

This place is excellent. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful. There is great attention to detail - the home is stunning. There are lovely communal areas including a lounge area with lots of board games, an honesty bar which has an excellent selection of drinks, and a nice garden area with seating. Breakfast was perfect with lots of choices (especially the pancakes) and the breakfast room has a beautiful view, as did our room. Beds were very comfy and the place was spotless. The area is very peaceful but still only a 5/10min walk into the town. We definitely hope to return!
We have just returned home from a 2 night stay at Beinn Bhracaigh and we were amazed at the quality of the guesthouse and the service. Tom was absolutely fantastic as an host and offered advice regarding some local places of interest. We were most impressed by the breakfast, which was included in the price. We had a vast selection of meals and drinks to choose for breakfast as well as bread, cereals, fruit and yoghurts to help ourselves to. The quality of the cooked breakfast was fantastic, I chose the small breakfast both mornings which was more than enough and kept me full till an early dinner before the Enchanted Forrest. My husband had the pancakes and crispy bacon on the first morning which he thoroughly enjoyed. There were plenty of tea, coffee and hot chocolate supplies in the room as well as additional supplies in the shared lounge. There were plenty of board games and dvds to borrow in the lounge also. They have an honesty bar which is well stocked with plenty of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, all they ask is that you record whatever you take and you will be charged for this on check out. The guesthouse itself is located just a 10 minute walk from the centre of Pitlochry and the Enchanted Forrest pick up point. I would highly recommend this guesthouse to anyone considering a trip to Pitlochry.
This was such a lovely BnB. It had such thoughtful details. Cozy yet modern. Tasteful and comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious. The hosts were extremely helpful and full of tips and good advice for nearby outings and meals. We had a beautiful large room with a lovely green view of the hills. Best mattress I've ever slept on in a BnB. There were such nice cozy rooms for guests to curl up with a book and look out onto the gardens and hills. It's a 10 minute walk down a hill into downtown Pitlochry, so if you have trouble walking up a gentle hill, this may not be the right spot for you. Otherwise, everything to recommend it and very patient, kind, friendly hosts.
Ben Bhracaigh is an absolute gem of a B&B.
Tom is an exemplary host, genuinely engaging and a really nice person. He went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect and had a raft of useful information. The guesthouse was immaculately presented, clean, comfortable and quiet. The views over the valley are stunning. It's about 10min walk to town where there's a number of good eateries. The breakfast options served at the property were a great set of choices and the food was delicious. Overall, well recommended and glad we had the pleasure to stay there. Hope to be back at some point
My boyfriend and I had a fantastic 2 night stay here. It was the perfect place to start our trip into the highlands - comfortable, safe, within walking distance of the town, and the owner was so welcoming and kind!
Best Bed & Breakfast in Pitlochry! The rooms are so elegantly designed with the perfect view and comfy bed. Nothing is missed with a teapot and choices of coffee , tea and hot chocolate when you feel peckish in the middle of the night there's a chocolate mallows as a touch. Nothing is missed ! The array of choices for breakfast has everything that you could possibly want and the chef did a great job . The owners Tom andAdam are so friendly and the trust they give the guests makes you feel like your home too . They have the honesty bar that I haven't heard of in any place where you can help yourselves and just write down what you have consumed so if you feel like having a night cap it's available and you can enjoy it there or the beautiful lounge and just settle up at check out . We got so lucky with the weather and got to enjoy sitting at their garden. Everything about this place is beyond perfection .So near the town and the tourist places like the dam and the Queens View .Great place to hike .
Wonderful stay at Beinn Bhracaigh start to finish. Tom was a gracious host with great advice. Breakfast was delicious every morning of my stay. Comfortable and quiet.
Hoping to return soon!

Loved everything about it here. Our room, the breakfast, the hosts, the location…everything. Highly recommend this lodge. We stayed in a room inside the main house and no detail was overlooked. We felt welcomed the moment we arrived and had no complaints during our stay. This was our favorite place we stayed while in Scotland by far.
This beautiful lodge sits on a knoll just outside of downtown Pitlochry, so it was an easy walk into town for dinner. Our room was pleasant and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and there was plenty of hot water for a wonderful shower after a long day hiking. The bathroom products were some of the best I have ever used and contained sea kelp so I felt very relaxed after my shower. The breakfast was amazing. I had the French toast and bacon (it is more like American ham, but even better). Staff is very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this for a nice place to stay in Pitlochry.
Beautiful setting close enough to town centre (10 minute walk) but far enough away to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and spectacular views. Our car never turned a wheel throughout or 2 night stay. We booked a superior room which was huge. Lovely decor. Warm and cosy and beautiful bathroom. Enjoyed the small touches - bathrobes, coffee machine, biscuits and bottled water. Room was spotless. Use of lodge itself was only for breakfast. Lodge was beautiful.. Breakfast was exceptional. Huge amount of choice. Staff attentive and friendly. A lovely picturesque setting to start your day. We would certainly describe this as a luxury 5 star accommodation and experience. Will certainly book again for any future visits.
We chose Craigmhor Lodge & Courtyard to spend for our anniversary due to it's highly rated reviews. I must say it completely exceeded our expectations from start to finish.
With complementary parking, a short walk from the centre of town, it was the perfect place for our 2 night break.
On our welcome, staff were very friendly and showed us to the room. Also making great recommendations of food locations. We were lucky enough to have our room upgraded to a Master Suite for our stay.
The room was very spacious and kept a reasonable temperature despite the 30°C heat! This was achieved by leaving just the windows open. The doors outside to the patio, offered a peaceful area to relax. Although some reviews mentioned the patio was shared, we never felt we lacked privacy.
In both mornings, breakfast felt very personable and yummy. All of the staff were very friendly. A perfect way to prepare for our day, with the most perfect view.
The owners were also lovely on all occasions we crossed paths, making sure that the stay and our holiday was going well.
Thank you for making it such a lovely stay, we would highly recommend and wish to stay here again.
Once again, we had an outstanding stay at Craigmhor Lodge. Spacious, clean and comfortable room with an even more comfortable bed. Shower was large and hot with quality toiletries included. Staff couldn’t be more helpful, welcoming and with a smile. We have tried various places in Pitlochry and Craigmhor Lodge tops the list by far. Thank you and see you next year.
Craigmhor Lodge &Courtyard is an amazing place to stay. The rooms are absolutely beautiful. It's location is brilliant just a short walk takes you into the heart of Pitlochry. The breakfast is just outstanding and a big thank you to all the staff who really make you feel welcome. Our 2nd stay here and will not be our last. Highly recommend
Elegant, comfortable and spotless clean. Great accommodation and truly lovely breakfast! Super recommended!

The Carra Beag Guest House is a Victorian building with period furniture and fittings giving it a sense of old world charm. The guest house is situated in the small town of Carra-Beag in the Western Highlands of Scotland. The guest house offers accommodation in doubles or singles, and has a shared lounge, dining room and kitchen. There is also free parking available on site.
What a lovely place to stay. Our room was spacious and absolutely spotless. The included breakfast was delicious and incredibly great value. Helen and Mark are excellent hosts. The location of the guest house is perfect, you’re just one street outside of the hustle and bustle of the main strip but just a few minutes walk to transit and the shops. We have absolutely nothing negative to say about Carra Beag, it was for sure a highlight of our trip.
Would highly recommend visits to Blair Atholl Distillery and Robertsons of Pitlochry while you’re in the area.

This is an ideal location to stay as its right in the centre of the town. A short walk and your in the heart of Pitlochry. This is our first stay here for 2 nights but we shall definitely be returning. Our breakfast this morning was superb. Porridge with honey and milk. Followed by a full breakfast with locally sourced produce. ( the haggis was particularly tasty).
Our room was immaculately clean and lovely and warm. Beds are so so comfortable. Teas and coffee facility in our room. Also there's a small fridge.
The lounge downstairs is welcoming with chocolate cake and sherry to try.
All round a fabulous guest house 🏠.
Absolutely beautiful guest house, lovely period features and decor, comfy beds and good quality bed linen. Fantastic location near to the centre of Pitlochry but also slightly raised so beautiful views. The absolute best aspect of Carra Beag tho has to be Helen and Mark, the owners. They both immediately made us feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble, just ask. They made our wee holiday, we were so relaxed and comfortable, it was perfect. Helen's cooking was outstanding, loved the three different cooked breakfasts we tried. Would highly recommend this guest house, it is a little gem and we are already planning our next visit in a couple of months time. Thanks again Helen and Mark.
We had such a lovely stay at this beautiful place. The hosts are so warm and welcoming, the food fantastic and the house is stunning with a great location in the heart of Pitlochry. Lovely details like good coffee in the rooms and chocolates and slippers on arrival! We’ll definitely be back, thank you! Paul and Lucy
A lovely guest house in Pitlochry. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly for the entire stay. The breakfast options and quality were some of the best I've had staying in a hotel or guest house. The place has a lovely atmosphere and the views are incredible. Would highly recommend!
Absolutely loved my stay at Carra Beag guest house. Was made to feel extremely welcome, lovely rooms with everything you would need and more. The breakfast was exceptional especially the French toast.
Will definitely be returning.
Warm welcome from Mark. Room great with lovely view. Breakfast superbly cooked by Helen and served by Mark - there was such a choice with nothing forgotten.
We did indulge in a complimentary Port and Chocolate Cake which was yummy.
Thank you both for a fab stay in your lovely house.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – A Fantastic Stay at The Carra Beag Guesthouse
Stayed here on a fishing trip with friends and had an incredible experience. The Carra Beag has a beautiful garden with great views, and the building was being freshly redecorated — very well looked after.
We were greeted by Mark, who was brilliant: friendly, funny, and super helpful. I stayed in Room 9, which had its own private street entrance — a great touch for added privacy. The room was clean, cosy, and full of traditional Scottish charm.
Breakfasts were excellent thanks to Helen, with a great selection and flexibility to suit preferences. Even the shampoo and conditioner had a lovely whisky and honey nut scent!
The best surprise was the honesty bar in the lounge — help yourself to drinks and note it down. It made the place feel like staying at a mate’s house.
All in all, the best place we’ve stayed in Pitlochry. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed my stay here! I had just finished a 10+ mile hike and dinner with friends and checked into here. It was easy to get to and my solo room was comfortable. Service was excellent, as I was personally greeted upon my check in, and the custom cooked breakfast the next morning was awesome and delicious, all before continuing my road trip north. I highly recommend Ardvane Bed & Breakfast!
Best bed and breakfast. Great selection of food for breakfast and the fry up was amazing. Very close to the main town center with food, buses, shopping. This is all within walking distance from the train station.
Our room had a tv with Netflix and whatnot. Full wireless internet.
Highly recommend
Loved it! Rooms are cozy and well decorated. Fresh Scottish Breakfast was great and made fresh to order. Hosts were very easy to reach and lovely people. Location is an easy 5 min walk to the main street. Parking onsite.
Simply a fantastic B&B. Good beds, good rooms, good prices and great service. A very attentive and helpful host. Very good coffee and an excellent breakfast selection. We were on a bicycle tour and secure bicycle storage was available
Had a wonderful stay here. Lovely well equipped room. Superb breakfast options, and the best long black coffee / americano i'd had to that point on our extensive UK holiday. 10 min easy walk into the beautiful township.
Amazing service and they really went above and beyond. They accommodated all requests with ease and no hesitation. It felt like a home away from home with a great breakfast awaiting you in the morning. Car space provided was easy to park in and the BnB itself is well located. Would recommend to anyone!
Great B&B. Well run. Good location for town. Great breakfast. Owner very polite and helpful. Rooms a good size, also very clean. Thoroughly recommend 🌟

Breakfast restaurant
Victoria's Restaurant is a laid-back dining spot located on the main street of Pitlochry. It has been serving locals and visitors for over 25 years, offering a diverse menu for brunch, lunch, and dinner. The family-owned bistro features a terrace and serves up local comfort food alongside cosmopolitan flavors from around the world, as well as classic French and British cuisine.
Visited this restaurant a couple of weeks ago. This was my best eat out experience in the UK so far. Cuisine is delicious and includes multiple local Scottish dishes. We tried a lot of this and that. Sauces are great. The meat in my venison burger was a bit burnt but that was the only minor issue. None of the food caused heartburn as it is often in other places.
I also strongly recommend the waiter called Abhi. He was really helpful and also an interesting person to speak to (we failed to guess where does he come from and then he shared his story)
We sat until the restaurant closed and no one was trying to make us leave in advance.
To sum up, a really decent place with surprisingly reasonable prices.

A very nice Italian restaurant on the main road of Pitlochry. This hotel was recommended by the owner of the hotel we were staying at. He recommended to make a reservation as it would get full quickly. Maybe it was the time ofthe year, but we felt it was not needed. There were plenty of spaces available. As always, better to get a reservation.
We had pasta dishes, a beer and a wine. The pairing was good and the pasta were excellent. A definite return if I get a chance.
We sat in the patio, just off the road. We people watched as we ate, which was fun. The staff were friendly, service was quick and the food came hot.
Overall, an amazing place to end your day after roaming around Pitlochry main road and the dam.
Great lunch! Steak and Ale pie as well as Club Sandwich with butternut squash soup were great. Thr best meal we had while staying in Pitlochry.
I am Scottish and I came up here on a private tour with some clients. I stopped here for a working lunch and the food is of extremely high quality. Their isn’t many establishments that will serve you ayshire bacon and stornoway black pudding as part of a Scottish breakfast.
Coffee beans they use are very good and I ended up having 3 cafe lattes.
First time visiting Pitlochry. As we were driving to avimore. Stopped off for some lunch . . Found this restaurant . Wasn't really busy as it was just 12 o'clock in the afternoon . Got a table for 6 . Was given water which was a nice touch . . We all ordered more or less the same from the menu .4 fish and chips . 2 stk pie and potato's..the meal was absolutely lovely. .what I would say is the prices are a bit steep when you've to pay £44 for 2 fish teas . . Infact all of us paid the same amount for a 1 course meal. I work in a 4 star hotel and we don't ask our customers to pay these kind of prices. .
4.5 stars here. After some deep research of the options in Pitlochry, we chose Victoria’s for its menu variety-Scottish, Italian, Latin, etc. We were not disappointed. There is a nice flower rimmed patio here that would have been our preference but alas Scottish weather did not cooperate. Interior basic tables and chairs. Attentive service much appreciated. A number of Scottish cuisine dishes caught my eye while perusing the menu. We picked Garlic Bread to start, mainly due to the fact that across the board we have enjoyed amazing breads while in Scotland. Though it could have had more garlic flavor, the bread was delicious. My DW was not overly hungry so she chose the Beetroot and Goat Cheese salad. This was pronounced delicious and mention was made of the mild, not too robust, flavor of the cheese.
Scottish lamb-Roast Rump of Perthshire Lamb-was my choice. Served with ratatouille & dauphinoise potatoes, both of which I felt were truly outstanding. The potatoes especially were an excellent compliment to the lamb. I was pleasantly surprised how the flavor of the lamb was much less “gamey” than most of my past experiences. The unctuous flavor was eye opening and the red wine jus added deep flavor to the dish. Loved it. We skipped dessert here for the ice cream shop down the street. If you visit Pitlochry, be advised that the tourist busses can flood the town day and evening so if you want to visit Victoria’s, best to make a reservation. Highly recommended.
The food at Victoria Restaurant in was really delicious and reasonably priced. Everything was served hot and very quickly. It was definitely worth it — I’ll absolutely come back again!
Staff very friendly. Prices quite fair. Good presentation lovely, but tasteless. My partner had fish which was over cooked and panko battered. I ordered duck- rubbery, served too cool and tasteless. The dauphenoise potatoes were poorly prepared scalloped. Would not eat here again.

Food & Drink
Blair Athol Distillery, situated in the charming town of Pitlochry at the gateway to the Scottish Highlands, is one of Scotland's oldest working distilleries. The Allt Dour, a water source originating from Ben Vrackie in the Grampian Mountains, contributes to the smooth and mellow finish of its renowned single-malt whiskies.
A splendid experience. It was the first time for me and the tour was really informative and very well explained. The tour guide was really nice and so friendly. We had a great chat with her afterwards. Don't forget to visit their shop after the tour. You won't find any of their products outside their venue which is an added value for them indeed. Highly recommended.

Our guide, Cameron, was fantastic—he really made the experience. His mix of humor and knowledge created a relaxed atmosphere while still delivering plenty of interesting facts.
Walking through the production areas and distillery gave us a much deeper understanding of the process. Cameron also made sure everyone understood how whisky is made—his explanation of the process chart was simple, clear, and spot-on.
The tour length was just right—enough time to cover everything without feeling too long. The whisky tasting at the end was well-balanced, and we appreciated the small bottles provided for our designated driver. The gift glasses were a lovely touch.
We stayed to chat with Cameron afterward in the Gift Shop and chose the 12-year single malt, which was our favorite. Overall, it was a fun and engaging experience.
I recently visited Blair Athol Distillery, and it was an absolute highlight of my trip to Scotland. The distillery itself is stunning, steeped in history, and set in a beautiful location that feels both authentic and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, the experience was smooth, well-organized, and full of charm.
Our guide, Alan, made the tour unforgettable. His knowledge of whisky making was second to none, but what really stood out was the way he shared it—with warmth, humor, and a real passion for the craft. He struck the perfect balance between detailed storytelling and making sure everyone felt included, whether a seasoned whisky drinker or a first-timer. Alan didn’t just guide us through the process; he brought the distillery to life with history, local anecdotes, and a contagious enthusiasm.
The tasting at the end was a fantastic way to wrap up—every dram carried depth and character, and Alan’s explanations gave me a new appreciation for the unique style of Blair Athol whisky. I left with both a deeper understanding of whisky making and a bottle to remember the experience by.
If you’re anywhere near Pitlochry, make time for this distillery. It’s not just about whisky; it’s about storytelling, tradition, and people like Alan who make the experience shine. Highly recommended!
The tour was to the point but super informative, Cat answered all our questions like a true pro and the whiskey was bangin' - but mostly their team is just so kind. My brother was having back issues, so I went down early to ask if there was stool we could borrow during the tour. Someone from their team actually went through the whole distillery to make sure there was a chair in every room for him. So not just great whiskey, but also great people. We had a wonderful afternoon 🤍 (Also, try the highball at the bar! Delicious craftsmanship 👌🏻)
Very old brewery now owned by a mega corp. Small but interesting equipment that gives a good idea of the processes involved in making Scotch whiskey. Your guide was affable and pleasant. Whiskey was very good but not great. Certainly the tour was a good value and a fun way to learn about whiskey
We had a wonderful experience at the Blair Athol Whisky Distillery.
María, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining, explaining the process in a clear and engaging way. We tasted three different whiskies, discovering their unique aromas and undertones.
The distillery itself is cosy and full of charm — overall, a fantastic experience that we highly recommend.
PS: The whiskey barrel chocolates were wonderful 😋
On our way back to Edinburgh we stopped at Blair Athol Distillery. Perfect way to enjoy a very well done and friendly tour of the distillery with a super cool, friendly and knowledgeable guide. She made all of us welcome. The Whisky is unique, very tasty and brought lots of joy when we shared some with our family after. Cheers!
A thoroughly enjoyable experience! Cameron manned the bar during our tasting and made it such a fun visit. He is knowledgeable and passionate. Two of our party didn't do the tasting and still found it enjoyable and interesting. The original copper mash tun is also quite a sight. Highly recommend!

Amazing dinner at Fern Cottage! Quaint restaurant with a gourmet feel in the heart of Pitlochry, just a short walk from our B&B. Made reservations online the day before. My husband got the steak and it was cooked to perfection. I got the chicken kabob which was delicious. Highly recommend the lemon posset for dessert!

Fab tasty lunch. Was fine with the dog -got us some water. Food was great and we felt like being abroad so their slogan pitlochry answer to Mediterranean was true. Great service. Very relaxing lunch and delicious Irish and French coffee
We loved our mezze starters, then the main courses arrived - wow! My partner had the roast lamb and mash and I had venison. Scottish country fare at its finest. Delish - off you go!
Tried haggis meals and tattles for the first time has loved it. The best tiramisu we’ve had in a long time. Gorgeous building inside and out. Great service. Highly recommended
We had been absolutely exhausted after a long hike in Glencoe. Despite us being 1hr late with traffic they kept our booking kindly and I’m so happy they did! The venue is stunning, elegant and cozy with an infectious atmosphere. The food…sublime! Mouthwatering, diverse options and excellent value. Ended with the best tiramisu I’ve ever had and a delicious local Aberfeldy whiskey. Our waitress was very attentive and warm; she even gave us tips on whiskey drinking! Will definitely be visiting again :)
We visited this restaurant for our anniversary! Food is amazing. I had the duck and my husband had venison.
Definitely the best meal we've tasted in ages! Staff are fantastic and the atmosphere is brilliant! Thank you to you all for a lovely evening....even the singing by staff and customers to say congratulations was a lovely touch.
We definitely will be back and have recommended your restaurant to so many people. Thank you.

Second visit recently and once again the food was outstanding and the wine too… lovely relaxed service and good choice of menu . Highly recommend.
We had originally planned to dine elsewhere, but since their kitchen was closed, we decided to try this restaurant instead—and we’re so glad we did! It turned out to be a wonderful surprise. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food truly stood out. We ordered the halloumi burger, fish and chips, and a Greek salad. Everything was absolutely delicious and arrived very quickly. Highly recommended!

Lovely old pub with a great selection of beers and a varied menu. The home-cooked bread and balmoral chicken were both amazing! Friendly and helpful service and really nice feel to it. Inside decor is lovely and outside tables are great when the weather is good. It’s on the Main Street so not a great place to have a meal with your girlfriend before the Coldplay concert but the meal would probably make it worth your wife finding out!

We had a wonderful dinner at The Auld Smiddy. It's a lively spot loved by both locals and visitors—definitely worth booking ahead.
The service was excellent. The staff were attentive, friendly, and full of good recommendations, which made us feel really well looked after.
We shared a cheese board to start, tried one of the daily specials, and had the venison & pancetta tagliatelle ragù for the main. Everything was delicious. The sticky toffee pudding, though, was the highlight—I’d recommend it to anyone.
We’ll definitely be back, and we highly recommend it if you’re visiting Pitlochry or the surrounding area.
We visited the inn for dinner, and it’s a nice place that locals frequent for drinks and food.
We particularly enjoyed the cosy local pub atmosphere and the attentive service. The food was good, with the monkfish scampi and chowder being our favourites. The oyster and seafood linguine was average.
Warm welcome by friendly professional staff. Great atmosphere. We took a selection of small plates to get a feeling for the place and watched the food coming out the kitchen. Lots of fabulous options. I really enjoyed their Cullen skink. We will be back to try more :)
Spent a lovely few days in Pitlochry with friends for The Enchanted Forest.
Had our first night meal in this really lovely pub. Great atmosphere and despite midweek , very busy which is always a good sign 👍😃
On our visit, we missed lunch. So had a few hours to wait until the kitchen opened for the evening. We stayed to have a few drinks whilst we were there. Staff were friendly and helpful. A lovely place to visit. And hopefully can visit again soon to try the food!
Sat outside on beautiful afternoon. Well separated from the street. Very nice. Picnic tables were a bit uncomfortable but the setting was great. Service was very good, very attentive. I had the chicken burger, and my wife had fish and chips. Both were good. Very reasonably priced given the location. Chicken always a bit on the dark side, but still tender inside. Definitely be back here, recommend for sure. Picture is of the town view outside restaurant.
One of the best meals we've had in Scotland. A lovely, dogfriendly pub in charming Pitlochry. Also, very good music!

Performing arts theater
Concerts & Shows
Amphitheater
Botanical garden
Pitlochry Festival Theatre is a unique attraction in the Highlands, offering a diverse range of productions and featuring a cafe-bar with scenic river views. The theatre has an interesting history, with its founder leaving a note during World War II that led to the establishment of the festival in 1951. Overlooking the River Tummel, it is easily accessible from Pitlochry and provides ample parking.
We got incredibly lucky at the Pitlochry Festival Theatre, managing to bag the last two tickets for "Nan Shepherd: Naked and Unashamed" for that day. Having already fallen in love with charming Pitlochry while staying in a nearby shepherd's hut, learning about the show meant we simply had to go – and we are so incredibly glad we did.
This two-hander was an immensely engaging play, a testament to the clever writing by Richard Baron and Ellie Zeegen. Its immersive nature and thoughtful design truly drew us in. Adam Buksh and Susan Coyle delivered tremendous performances, with Adam Buksh seamlessly embodying multiple characters with impressive elan. The narrative, especially being about Nan Shepherd while in the Highlands, felt deeply resonant and culturally enriching.
The Pitlochry Festival Theatre itself left a strong impression. We watched the play in the Studio, and the seats were exceptionally comfortable. The views would be excellent from anywhere in the studio, a credit to its design. The director clearly kept the venue's features in mind, which only served to elevate the play further. Learning more about the theatre's history and mission afterward made us even more appreciative of our visit.
For me, there's truly no better way to understand a place than to engage with its arts scene. Experiencing a play about Nan Shepherd while immersed in the Highlands felt like a uniquely perfect cultural moment.
It was a truly memorable and highly recommended experience!

Fantastic venue. The surrounding grounds are beautiful. The Explorers garden worth a visit too.
We went to see The 39 Steps. Brilliant, highly recommend. The 4 actors playing all different characters. Really enjoyed ourselves.
Absolutely lovely and so fun. An intimate stage experience with talented artists and a wonderful story. The building is clean and bright and modern in a storied landscape and garden that is entirely walkable and photo-worthy.
Head over early to enjoy a leisurely stroll, a cup of tea or coffee, or a dram. The gift shop is worth perusing.
Bathrooms are gendered rooms with stalls.
Lovely theatre. Easy to get to. Good toilet facilities. Lovely choice in the cafeteria. Good views. You also have a lovely garden to explore next door and not far from the dam.
Just saw 'A Toast Fae The Lassies' at Pitlochry theatre studio and it was magnificent! The acting was excellent and the singing outstanding. The musicianship was first class. The intimacy of the Pitlochry theatre studio helped, but the show deserves a national audience. Well done everyone involved, well done Pitlochry Festival Theatre!
Lovely place! Good sized shop with some gorgeous items. Beautiful theatre. Please though - more women's toilets! We saw the Great Gatsby. The cast were phenomenal.
Stumbled in to the first night of Nan Shepard and it was absolutely delightful! The audience even sang a Scottish song together. She was quite a wonderful person who is no longer lost to history. Great production! So glad I got to see it! 😁
Nice place on the way to Pitlochry dam site. There are some walking trails through the man made forest.

Restaurant
Port-na-Craig Inn & Restaurant is a charming riverfront venue in Pitlochry, offering rustic accommodation and delicious meals. The inn provides a picturesque setting near the River Tummel and is conveniently located within driving distance of Cairngorms National Park and Pitlochry Festival Theatre. Guests can enjoy local specialties such as salmon, steak, and black pudding at the restaurant while taking in scenic views from the garden.
A really nice restaurant by the river. On a sunny day, you can sit outside and enjoy the river flowing by. The menu is more like pub food and it is good, nothing surprising. The service might be a bit slower at busy times. Crucially, they have a small carpark. There is also seating inside. Overall, it's really nice and could be worth stopping by before theatre or along the way.
Nuric — Google review
Best lunch in Scotland. Such a warm welcome from fantastic staff, who provided great service, and even better food.
The seafood linguine was better than some I've had in Italy... the Korean chicken waffle was so unusual and one of the best dishes on the menu. It's not too spicy, equal parts spicy and sweet, and the fish and chips were too good.
The kids menu was also very good, lots of options and cooked brilliantly. Perfect stop for small, weary travellers.
There's seating outside, which is beautiful. Inside is charming and also dog friendly if the weather is not on your side.
Accessibility wise, it's not the easiest as there's no car park, you have to park on street or use a car park in town and walk over the foot bridge or walk quite a way to get there.
Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. 10/10 recommend! 🙌
Amazing atmosphere, so beautiful restaurant, but the garden/outdoor seats are very cute as well. Beautiful view over the river,too. We ordered fish and chips and we loved it. Very delicious. And last but not least, the staff were absolutely amazing, so nice and friendly. We definitely recommend it.
Had an absolutely wonderful meal here to celebrate a 40th birthday. Attentive staff together with a cosy ambience and excellent food made for a perfect evening. Food arrived quickly and settling the bill was also dealt with promptly. It’s dog friendly too so that’s a huge plus when travelling with a 4-legged friend! The seasonal pumpkin decorations outside added an extra special aesthetic to the place. I found it utterly charming and will definitely return.
I tried this restaurant and really enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing, with the river view right next to the tables – a setting that perfectly complements the meal. As for the menu, in the main courses section I mostly found fish & chips, a tasty and well-cooked dish, but it would have been great to see more fish-based options, especially considering the lively river just nearby. 😊 The other main dishes are varied, but for fish lovers, a wider selection would definitely be a plus.
P.S.: If you can’t find enough fish options on the menu, don’t worry – you’ll surely find more in the river next to it! 🐟
Stumbled across this place while on a walk down by the river and ended up having the most perfect lunch. Staff were so kind and welcoming, everything on the menu looked delicious, will definitely be back to sample more.
We came here with a party of three for dinner on a Friday night with no reservation and had the chicken liver pate, pumpkin ravioli, ribeye steak and stuffed chicken breast, plus dessert, all very tasty.
Very enjoyable, very kind Staffa end the food.... it's sooooo good!! It shows that the staff really like to cook!! We enjoyed it so much, very impressed!

Giod selection of water based activities, plenty to hire and a very picturesque setting to explore. Nice cafe for afters. No online booking so you have to contact via telephone, proved tricky 1 day, was fine the other
Gentlemen, the day we spent rafting with you was one of the most beautiful days in Scotland. Thank you again for a wonderful adventure, and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much!
I previously rented a boat last year and was met with a less than friendly welcome. However I was able to hire a boat which was the point of this excursion.
Today I returned to do the same thing and was met with the less than friendly welcome from last year. However today I was told
that it was out of season and no boats were available for hire.
This was all presented matter of factly without a smile, sorry for the inconvenience or a friendly invite to enjoy their other facilities.
I tried to point out that I had hired a boat the previous year at this time, this was not even acknowledged and in fact the lady was already turning her back on me and walking away I was talking. May I point out there was no one else there to ‘distract’
After reading other reviews I fully expect a dissertation pointing out all the ways I am wrong and it is all my fault. May I suggest alternatively using that wasted time by practicing customer facing skills.
Absolutely gorgeous spot!
Had delicious soup and bloomer bread cut into door steps. I believe it was sweet potato coconut and chilli. Mister had a breakfast sandwich which he enjoyed.
First time travelling up to the Cairngorms and stopped at Pitlochry boating Station for a bite to eat and ended up hiring a boat for an hour. Such a beautiful place and the staff there were very friendly. Stunning views and surroundings and very reasonably priced. Recommended to walkers and water enthusiasts.
Stopped off for tea and coffee and enquired about prices for boat rental and fishing permits. Good value. Clean, with great food and drinks. Polite professional friendly family run business. I’d recommend.
Great place, delicious coffee and amazing views. Just don't advice to go near closing time (5 o'clock), owner gives clues to leave in a bit rude way. You can also buy special food for ducks and feed them.

Fantastic place. Gordon and the other staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Gordon's fluent German was a delightful surprise!
Rooms are very clean, bedding was comfortable, bathrooms very clean with high shower head. Our stay was very quiet.
The breakfast was plentiful and delicious with a great view - they offer great options that have something for everyone. Fresh fruits, yogurts, cereals, porriage, custom full scottish breakfast with blackpudding and all.
The grounds are lush with hundreds of flowers. There even was a pheasant in the garden one morning!
Would come again.

The Claymore Guest House is an excellent place to stay. It’s right on the main street in Pitlochry, so everything is within easy walking distance—just a couple of minutes to a charming local pub (The Auld Smiddy Inn) and plenty of shops.
Gordon, the host, is welcoming and full of great recommendations for things to see and do in and around Pitlochry. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and nicely decorated.
Breakfast is excellent, with plenty of options, all freshly prepared and generously served. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always happy to help.
We loved our stay and would recommend coming here.
What a wonderful guest house. Room was very spacious and well decorated. Lovely garden to sit out at and relax. Breakfast was plentiful and very very good.
An nice easy walk into the town.
Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Can't wait to come back again
Great place to stay, nearby lots of walking paths, good restaurants. Breakfast was outstanding, with good coffee, many choices and friendly staff. For me the bed was too soft, but that is personally. Would recommend the place.
I stayed at the Claymore Guest House for 2 nights in late September. I found that on checkout day, I was actually sad to leave, which is not an experience I generally have at lodgings!
The owners were super friendly, the location was great for exploring Pitlochry, and breakfast was wonderful.
You leave a sheet at reception marking which items you want for the following morning's breakfast, and they're served hot and fresh. It's worlds better than the "continental breakfast" that is typical for lodging breakfast in the States (and that I also received at lodging elsewhere while visiting Scotland).
The staff also helped me call a taxi and gave suggestions for local walking routes.
This is a must stay place. The owner and his wife go the extra mile with being great host. We had a bad tire and Gordon, the owner, helped us contact and set up a repair. He informed us of events as well as provided a fantastic breakfast made by his wife. The staff was great as well.
What can you say . Outstanding Place to stay everything is just fantastic . Lovely warm Welcome from Gordon. Bedroom perfect in every way spotless . Lovely soaps etc in bathroom lovely towels . Breakfast lovely . Staff very friendly . Will be back soon for another stay . Thanks again for everything..
This is our second time staying at The Claymore Hotel. Can’t recommend it highly enough. The staff are so friendly. The rooms are lovely and clean. The breakfast is delicious. If you stay here you won’t be disappointed.

A beautiful view of the Scottish hills and countryside from this very comfortable Bed and Breakfast. Rooms are welcoming and bright with all the comforts ones looks for - comfortable bed, nice seating area for looking at the mountains, a clean and bright bathroom. Staff were friendly and breakfast was good. It's a short walk to the main street but set back so you have some peace and quiet too. Parking is easy, though we walked from the train station. Consider staying here on your stop in Pitlochry.
We stayed as 7 adults, a 2 year old and 2 dogs. Genuinely couldn’t fault the place. Rooms were beautiful, beds were comfy and all the little touches around the place were fabulous - like games in the Lounge or hot water bottles to help yourself to. The breakfast experience was 10 times better than most hotel experiences I have had. Stephanie couldn’t have done more to ensure our mornings were lovely and the facilities provided for your breakfast were incredible - she was amazing with our little girl and provided a colouring book, stickers and a reading book - Billie (our little girl) was thrilled! You could have breakfast here and not have to eat again all day! Steve was so helpful and an excellent communicator throughout. If we come back to Pitlochry, I doubt we will go anywhere else. Thanks again so much for the hospitality, it has been some of the best we have experienced in a long time.
I thoroughly enjoyed my 2-night stay. Stephanie is a very lovely hostess, beds were comfortable, great location, and breakfast was delicious.
We went to the Highland Nights concert (Monday nights in the summer), which was fun and casual. Pitlochry is a really cute town worthy of a visit.
Our stay at Tigh Na Cloich was excellent! I mentioned it was my partner’s birthday, and Steve and Stephanie went above and beyond to make it extra special. They upgraded our room and offered complimentary drinks. The rooms were beautifully decorated, modern and clean. The location of Tigh Na Cloich was great, and the breakfast the next morning was delicious. Everything was fantastic, and we will definitely be back!
Wonderful place to stay! Stephanie & Steve were so friendly and helpful and created an amazing experience. The room was very clean and comforting, and the breakfast was fantastic! Perfect location for visiting everything in Pitlochry, would highly recommend to anyone!
Stef and Steve could not have been more warm & welcoming! 😁Room ideal; bed super comfy; breakfast tasty and garden platform perfect for viewing the hills and eating a cheeky, mouth-watering ice cream ‘tablet’ from Scotch Corner in! The ‘secret’ short cut to the High Street from the garden is great too! A real wee gem of a stay - thank you! 🤩
My daughter and I had an overnight stay at Tigh Na Cloich recently, and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for accommodation in the Pitlochry area. Stephanie couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming on arrival, which was a lovely start. Our room was very comfortable, and had everything we needed. The breakfast was fantastic! Pre-ordering system worked very well, and again Stephanie was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is close enough to the main street of Pitlochry for easy access to amenities, but distant enough to be removed from the bustle of activity.
It was a shame we only had one night to spend at Tigh Na Cloich, but we would love to return! Many thanks Stephanie and Steve!

Excellent location in a very quaint town. The host was welcoming and very accommodating. It is a traditional Scottish Inn and we were glad for the cozy rooms after a visit to the Enchanted Forest. Besides the friendly reception the host provides an assortment of room amenities and the absolute best wool blankets to snuggle into on a chilly evening. Highly recommend!

A Lovely b&b! The room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was complete. The welcome was super warm and we were given lots of advice!
Thanks again for everything, we hope to come back very soon to stay with you!

The Well House has a fantastic location in Pitlochry with convenient parking. The owner was lovely and gave a very warm welcome to us.
Unfortunately, there was an issue with the shower in one of our rooms (we had two rooms) that couldn't be fixed. We were told on check in and offered a discount on the room rate, but we were happy to pay the normal rate.
There were a couple of other maintenance issues in the room (noisy extract fan, toilet seat off) which took away from the stay.
Breakfast was good (continental) and tasty. Plenty of options to set you up for the day. The coffee was really good too!
We would stay again!
This is the best B&B that I’ve ever stayed in. Simple, comfortable elegance. Our room is just lovely. We have tea service in the room with a tea pot and China cups and saucers. The dining room was also very attractive and welcoming. Lots of choices for breakfast. My husband and I opted for cereal and fresh fruit, warm croissants, cold cuts and cheese along with juice and coffee. The hosts and his wife are very welcoming and helpful. We will come again and highly recommend to others. Close to town and to area walls and hikes.
Enjoyed our stay at the Well House. Unique building with lots of character. Very clean and comfortable. Host very welcoming and informative. Delicious breakfast included
Can certainly recommend.
One of the best B&B we’ve stayed!
The host was very welcoming and full of advice on what to do and what to see. Breakfast was delicious, with many different foods to choose from.
The room was nice, clean and quiet.
We recommend it!
Great stay. Thoroughly neat and tidy rooms. The common space and our rooms had beautiful interiors. Enjoyed the breakfast. Also had parking. Owner is friendly.
Very friendly host, amazing breakfast, cozy feeling, 10/10 would recommend!

We go to Pitlochry ever year for three nights to allow us to see ask did shows at the Festival Theatre. We need a comfortable location to stay, tour the area from, and have as a base.
We've stayed in a couple of places, but have settled in this b&b as the best for us.
Although it only has three rooms, all are very well appointed, very comfortable beds, lovely bathroom etc, and the rooms are good to relax in when there.
The house is in a perfect location in Pitlochry, at the same "end" of Pitlochry as the theatre (it's a small town, but gets very busy and the main street can choke up with tour buses! ).
Marie has always a really genuine and friendly welcome, and she does a really great breakfast.

Ellangowan house is a beautiful place in wonderful setting. Mary took care of us and did an amazing job. The rooms were impeccable. Very large and comfortable. The breakfast was incredible! Eggs any way you want, toast, bacon, sausage, black pudding, mushrooms... Couldn't ask for more. If we ever get back this way, we'll be staying her again.
Ellangowan House B&B is a beautiful home, on a beautiful property, in a very quiet area of Pitlochry, that is only minutes walk to the town center. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there a few weeks ago. The rooms were beautiful, large, and comfortable. Mairi was a spectacular host, serving a wonderful breakfast each day in a beautifully decorated dining area. It was such a relaxing atmosphere. A large driveway to park in, with great views of the valley. Spectacular!!
We visit Pitlochry every year for the Enchanted Forest. Always staying locally in Pitlochry. The Ellangowan was ideally located for us who like walking everywhere. The room was tidy, bed was comfy, decor was dated in the bedroom but the bathroom was recently renewed. But didn't put us off. Breakfast was very nice and the owners were very polite and welcoming. The payment is by cash or bank transfer. All in all a pleasant stay.
We had a 2-nights stay in Ellangowan House. The house is amazing and the rooms are comfortable and beautifully decorated. The furniture is very tasteful and everything was more than clean. The breakfast was very delicious with a lot of fresh ingredients. Our host was friendly, kind and very helpful. We enjoyed our stay a lot and can recommend Ellangowan House to everyone!
This was a 2 day stay at Ellangowan for myself and my husband...its biker friendly as we are on a motorbike holiday around Scotland. Ellangowan is by far a 5* accoundation in my opinion, with lots of room for motorcycles...we stayed in room 3 which is a huge room, with lots of space and it was beautifully furnished with lots homely finishing touches, it has a huge bathroom to match with a shower and bath....Our hostess was a lovely lady called Mary, who was very attentive to our comfort during our stay. Breakfast is served between 8 and 9 so a wee lie in for us, the choice of continental breakfast or full English or mix and match, nothing was to much trouble, cannot recommend this charming edwardian B&B enough. We are very happy with our stay and will be returning in the near future. Catherine and Steven from Newcastle.
We had an amazing stay! Bedroom was super, breakfast was very good and the owner is a kind and helpfull. The Pitlochry surroundings are beautiful. I would definitly recommend this!
Beautifully appointed and elegant private home and gardens, exactly what Americans think of the UK lol. Lovely breakfast. A truly special experience!
