Stunning views to just look out at and take a moment to appreciate our beautiful country 🥰 we managed to get my dad up In his wheelchair and he wanted to stand and take the view in 💙 we arrived just as the shop/cafe closed so didn’t get into have a wee look. You have to pay for parking here as well.

Excellent views from the viewpoint. The staff at the visitor centre were very pleasant and helpful. We had a lovely lunch at the cafe. The good weather allowed us to use the outside tables which we enjoyed very much in the early Autumn sunshine.👍

The Views Alone makes this Beautiful place 😍 a Must Visit.... Easy parking, very Reasonable price, pre pay online, and from the Car park only a very short walk to one of the Finest Views in Scotland..... Take a few Minutes, and let it sink in..... the Views down Loch Tummel and Schiehallion are Breathtaking.... There is a Ramp for Wheelchair ♿️ Access, and if you happen to visit on a Glorious Autumn 🍁🍁🍂🍂🔥🔥you'll be lost for Words..... There is a Small visitor centre, and Coffee ☕️ Shop, with a good range of Hot Drinks and Homebaking.... Enjoy 😉it's a Fabulous Location 👌

What a view! Fantastic. The café is also worth a visit. Decent cakes and a nice cup of coffee. Staff very friendly and helpful. Dog friendly too. So you can eat in and not have to dodge the wasps 🤣 Highly recommended 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Beautiful view point, it is a must see place if you round this area. Easy walk from the carpark. Only a few minutes it takes. Nice coffee to grab something to eat or drink.

Queen’s View is definitely worth visiting! The views of Loch Tummel are absolutely stunning, and it’s an easy, short walk to the viewpoint. When we visited, it wasn’t crowded. There’s a lovely small café and gift shop nearby—just remember to pay for parking.

Nice cafe and lovely staff. Real shame about the £3 car parking charge. There is no real warning about payment untill you enter the car park and the camera captures your reg immediately so you can't turn around.

Beautiful Forrest walk with an amazing light installation exhibition. We went in the day, so clearly not showing the lights off, at their best. No litter anywhere, clean toilets and good parking.

Excellent evening of enchantment. Adults and kids in tow, everyone loved the experience. Was concerned about ticket cost. However, slick Q system for shuttle bus there and back. Beautiful sound and light exhibitions throughout made it all worth while. Well done to all evolved, especially the wonderful team on site, guiding you and helping where needed. Hat off to you all

Brilliant trail and loads of options for MTB and walking There's toilets at the start of carpark is well and well poster for trials so you don't get lost

Went during enchanted forest and I can not recommend it enough 2nd year in a row me and my fiancèe have visited each years its different and its for charity and great causes. Walk in woods in all is great during day or night its going be good. Will be back next year and the woods itself go walk and enjoy. For the enchanted forest its for good causes and fun for the famil plenty of food and stalls seating take your time walk slow and enjoy.

Veey calm and cool place. You might find local fisherman and all place to yourself. Don't miss to take a walk around the lake. There are trails.

As part of my 60th birthday presents, my daughter's had arranged to take me to see The Enchanted Forest. It was my 1st time and totally loved it. My daughter's had been before to see the event, which they totally loved, and to check how disabled friendly it actually was. With being disabled they had bought a ticket for disabled parking and they said it was so much easier doing this than getting on a bus in Pitlochry. The Stewards/staff were so very helpful and friendly. A couple of times when we had stopped to watch an attraction, they would approach us and speak to me asking how I was enjoying the experience etc. which was very nice. Last year when my daughter's went (it was raining) and they found a few parts of the walk slippery. But this year, I had no issues with the walkways. One Steward explained that from the money raised from previous year's they reinvest money back into the Event and they had upgraded the walkways 😊.. which meant that 1/2 way round when the rain came on this year, there was no slippery parts of the path while finishing the experience. I would totally recommend this event to anyone, especially people with mobility issues 😊. I've found a few (while being on holiday) have stated Disable friendly but were not exactly 100% easy to do/use/experience. Definitely no issues at The Enchanted Forest, Pitlochry 😊.

Beautiful autumn colours ! Visited the Enchanted Forest installation- but wished we had booked an earlier slot (we went for the 8.15 slot but didn’t board the bus until 8.50 it was so busy) only had chance to walk the loop once before being ushered back to the bus

A very interesting visit, the walk on the dam wall has astonishing views of the river and the salmon ladder is a clever way to compensate the intrusion in their ecosystem. A visit to the visitors centre puts everything in context while you enjoy a nice coffee with a view, worth the visit!

My favourite place to stroll around in the autumn. Love to sit on the balcony with a soup, admiring the colours of autumn. The dam is a very old hydroplant, one of the oldest in Scotland - still fully functional with a fish tunnel for our salmons coming back home. Worth a visit for an afternoon.

Very nice place, easy to walk true, include a few steps so need to be careful if you have a older person or disabled. Good to see the fish ladder and the live camera footage. Didn't see anything while was there but still nice, and belive a few lucky people see the salmons passing.

Beautiful view of the river and dam, modern and informative hands-on exhibits, clean bathrooms, cafe and gift shop make this a fantastic stop. You can stay 20 minutes or 2 hours at your own pace.

One of the best tourist spot in the way to Scotish expedition. Great location and children has to learn from it regarding salmons life as well as hydro power station.

Plenty of space to have a little sit down. Property maintained very well. The steps down to the dam view may be a little difficult for some people. Benches are around to have a view of the water. People can be seen fishing. Restaurant available on the other side of the bridge. Flowing water is accessible by foot.

Pitlochry Dam is an absolute must-visit! The recent upgrades have made viewing the incredible salmon run so much easier and more engaging. The new facilities offer fantastic, clear views of the salmon battling upstream, making for an unforgettable experience. It's a wonderful blend of natural wonder and engineering marvel, perfect for all ages. Highly recommended!

This cafe's toilet was great. It was very spaceous and clean. It had the basics (toilet paper, soap and a working lock) and it was free. After washing your hands, you even have a choice. They both have paper towels and an air blower. The reason why I'm only giving them 4 stars is because there were only 2 toilets. One for men and one for everyone (including disabled people and it had a baby changing table).

Very nice little coffee shop well worth a visit. Excellent pastries, perfect cappuccino, friendly staff. They went above and beyond by warming the banana cinnamon loaf -- yummy!

I really loved this place! Perfect for a cozy lunch on a dreich day as very colourful inside with local artwork to purchase. Best Cullen Skink I've had in years -- could tell it was freshly made. Cakes were lovely, flat white coffee very good. Generous portions for everything, so I thought prices were reasonable. I plan to go back.

Warm, cozy and well decorated café. As a dog lover, I really appreciate all the dog photos in the corridor ❤️ the drinks and cakes are delicious, the staff is friendly and efficient. I really enjoy the tea time in this café in the cute city of Pitlochry 😊

Cafe Calluna in Pitlochry is the perfect retreat for travellers craving charm and comfort. Tucked into 90 Atholl Road, its warm and cosy interior—decked out with vintage furniture, fairy lights and quirky décor—instantly makes you feel at home. The menu is a delight: homemade soups, sourdough sandwiches, freshly baked cakes, and excellent coffee (locally roasted Glen Lyon beans) cater for all tastes. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Dog-friendly too, so paws are welcome! Whether you’re stopping for a quick pick-me-up or lingering over an afternoon tea, it’s a gem not to be missed.

A very friendly little place, not too many tables, and really good service. A pleasant atmosphere to sit in. Coffee was tasty! Their story on the menu mentions that most of their food is locally sourced, so big bonus points for that. Dog friendly, very friendly! Their toilets have a wall of polaroids of dogs that have visited which is just fantastic Only reason for food being rated 4/5 is that their lunch choices felt quite limited. The food itself was good

this would have been a nice place if the sub heated sausage rolls that me and the wife had didn't give us mild food poisoning, so beware and make sure the food is hot. the wife was sick in toilet in the cafe and i was ill within 10 mins of leaving and had to visit the toilet at the bus terminus. also several stops along the route home to loch awe.

The high rating didn’t lie - it is really delicious Indian food! The portions aren’t that big but they are really well made! And our female waitress was so sweet and helpful. They also have a very well assorted gin bar whichever loved - just be aware that they charge 9-10£ for 2,5 cl of gin! 😳 The good thing is that you can sit outside and enjoy your GT and enjoy the landscape. Remember to book in advance to avoid being fully booked.

We booked in the restaurant under recommendation and were not disappointed. We took a tiffin which is a condensation of several dishes and it was incredible (it justified the price and it was for 2 people). The waitress was very kind and recommended dishes that were not too spicy and did not hesitate to answer our questions. The atmosphere is very cosy, the lights are dim and the music is good without being too present. I recommend it!

Absolutely amazing food and a wonderful dining experience! The service was exceptional — a special thanks to Shay for going above and beyond. You’ve done an amazing job, and your attention to detail truly made the visit memorable. The vegetarian options were also impressive and delicious. Highly recommended!

We are vegetarians and honestly had some of the best North Indian food we’ve ever tried in the UK at Cidsin Restaurant in Pitlochry. The flavors were authentic, rich, and absolutely amazing – a real treat if you’re visiting the area and craving high-quality Indian food. A special mention to Nicky, who looked after us during our visit. She was wonderful – friendly, attentive, and gave us excellent recommendations that turned out to be perfect! Every dish she suggested was spot on, and we loved them all. Thank you, Nicky, for making our experience even better! We’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend this place if you want proper Indian food in Scotland – take my word for it and try Cidsin.

Absolutely beautiful hotel, location, food was amazing breakfast and dinner. We were shown and explained the menu at tea time and the various authentic Indian Food from Aliket. He was so friendly, professional and knowledgable. The food he recommended was truly beautiful. I have never tasted such beautiful food. The staff, the hotel, the rooms and the views and gardens were absolutely beautiful. I would definitely recommend 100%

I traveled up to Pitlochry from Glasgow with my mother specifically to eat at this place, having eaten here a few years ago with my wife. It did not disappoint. This is by far the best Indian restaurant I have eaten at in Scotland. Totally unique and authentic flavours, perfectly balanced and presented beautifully. I can't wait to be back, the people of Pitlochry don't know how lucky they are

We arrived very late, after the kitchen had officially closed, but the wonderfully kind staff kindly asked the chefs if they could still prepare some takeaway meals for us — and they did. This kind gesture alone already made a lasting impression. While waiting, we took in the stylish and cosy interior, and couldn't help but marvel at the extensive whisky selection behind the bar. The waiter, noticing our curiosity, asked if we'd like to learn more – and we surely did! He gave us a warm and insightful introduction into the world of Scotch whisky, even teaching us the proper way to nose and sip it. Back at our accommodation, the food absolutely floored us. This was not your typical takeaway – the flavours were rich and balanced, everything was carefully packed, and it was clear that a lot of pride goes into every detail. Easily the best takeaway we’ve ever had. All in all, Cidsin managed to deliver one of the most delightful dining experiences we've had in a long while – and we didn’t even sit down for a meal! Hats off tae the whole team.

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.

We had a fantastic experience at Blair Castle, the castle and gardens were all absolutely stunning and well maintained. The castle one way system really helped to see everything and it was well curated, each room highlighting a limited time period or individual family member. The gardens, especially the shady forest area, looked incredible on a blazing hot day. Walking under the massive trees to the sound of the piper was atmospheric to say the least. Well worth the price to help maintain this magnificent place.

I don’t know how we’ve missed this place on past trips. It’s incredible. We only did the grounds and could have easily spent a day just on the grounds. The tall trees are breathtaking. The garden was still interesting, even though it’s starting to head into dormancy. You truly need a few hours to really explore everything. There is a nice children’s play area too. We will definitely plan for a full day there on our next trip!

We went here for the Highland Games in May 2025. It was a fantastic venue. The crowds were awesome. The castle army is the only one left in the United Kingdom. They were amazing. Their band, uniforms, and professionalism were amazing. Beautiful castle with the Highland mountains surrounding it. It’s a beautiful place.

We very much enjoyed the Blair castle. It was a little bit of a walk from the parking lot to the castle but it was well worth it. The inside of the castle was completely furnished and had people in rooms that could tell you about its contents and the people that once lived there. The gardens were Immaculate and beautiful.

Blair castle is a lovely place, you self tour the castle. There is highland coo's, deer, adventure playground, cafe, toilets , plenty of parking, piper plays on the hour, deer feeding at 12:30 and 14:30, lots of walks , lovely gardens and sculpture trail , staff very helpful and pleasant .

Came here with our English Bulldog to spend a nice afternoon. And indeed we did. The earliest known part of the present castle dates from 1269. In 1740 the 2nd Duke began his transformation of the medieval castle into a Georgian house. A remodel to the exterior of the castle happened in the 1860s/70s. Later on architects Jamie Troughton and Hugh Broughton constructed a new exhibition hall known as the Banvie Hall. And that's now how the Castle stands here until today. We did book the admission to the Park and Grounds online and saved some money. There were a good number of visitors, but no problem finding a parking space - there's plenty of it only a short stroll from the castle. Admission with 9.50£ was a very fair deal. We were just in time to listen to the bagpipes, which were played hourly (until a certain time). Very nice - we love bagpipes. And to sit there on the bench, listening and with the Blair Castle in the background was just a wonderful moment. Then we went to the Deer Park, watching the wildlife. Then through the woods and Diana's Grove. A nice trail through the forest, with some nice creeks and a beautiful little bridge. Then onto St. Bride's Kirk. From there to the Blair Castle Gardens. Then back again to the Castle. Suprisingly few visitors along the paths. Really wonderful grounds here. Nice walks - nice nature and landscape. The Castle is pretty and the park offers nice ways and paths to spend some hours here. Also of course a restaurant, a shop, a nice playground and toilets. We really had a great time here. Dogs allowed on the grounds was a great thing. A real good visit, well worth the fair-priced admission.

A beautiful castle with a rich history. The only thing I wish we did differently was spend more time to explore the grounds. I would recommend everyone to visit

An excellent bakery and one of the few places open before 9am!! I got the brie and mango chutney roll and it was excellent!

Lovely little bakery tucked away behind Main Street in Pitlochry. Delicious goods. We had the pepperoni pizza, filled focaccia bread and danish pastry. Also bought a tin loaf to takeaway. All excellent. Friendly service. Seemed popular with the locals as well.

I was incredibly lucky to stumble upon this magical bakery at 11.45am this morning. Their pizza comes out at 12, I had the first slice. My life is forever changed. The finely sliced mushrooms, onions and courgettes are perfectly arranged for optimal tastiness. The pizza slice looks long, so your first thought may be “ it will have a soggy wet dough.” But No my friends.. this dough is crispy throughout!!! Every bite is just a reminder that artistry exists, and they make pizzas in this bakery. Thank you SO much!

Beautiful quaint bakery. The smell of freshly baked bread brought us here & we were not disappointed! Lovely staff, happy and super friendly. Cinnamon buns 10/10 and great coffee too! Highly recommend.

The focaccia bread is INCREDIBLE!! We passed through Pitlochry taking an hour to enjoy the town and we stopped in for some coffee. When we saw the fresh baked goods I knew I had to try something. I love focaccia bread but this was the best I've ever had! Chef's kiss!

Had the most delicious sammies here on a cold morning in Pitlochry. The pastries were also great.

Great pizza and latte, just what’s needed for a tired and hungry traveler.

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.

They were able to accommodate a group of 8 (including 4 kids) at the last minute. The food was delicious, the staff kind and attentive, and the atmosphere was superb. Probably the best meal we had with kids (including our time at home in the states) and definitely the most high end, homey atmosphere we experienced in Scotland.

I'd say my review is more of a 4.5 star. The staff was incredible and made you feel like family - particularly the concierges Stephen and Mark, as well as, the bartender, Oliver (Ollie). Shout out to Ollie for making THE BEST cocktails as well. The food was VERY good, but the service was quite slow whether it was dinner or breakfast. Also, it wasn't always accurate. Seems like each meal there was something forgotten. The rooms could also use a re-fresh and tidy. All that being said, I would absolutely stay there again. The setting on the loch is idyllic and it was a very wonderful stay!

If this is Fonab’s idea of a “tranquil spa experience,” I’d hate to see their version of chaos. My boyfriend and I paid £120 and drove an hour and a half for what was meant to be four hours of peace and relaxation and got about 30 minutes before it turned into a children’s pool party. A man and two kids came charging in to the pool/jacuzzi area with water toys and guns, shouting and splashing it honestly felt more like our local leisure centre pool than a luxury spa. When I complained, the receptionist basically shrugged and said, “He’s a member, there’s nothing we can do,” and apparently, this is a weekly occurrence every Sunday morning. So much for a relaxing spa, more like family fun hour! To be fair, we were told the outdoor hot tubs weren’t in use but we still paid full price, which only added to the disappointment. On top of that, the spa itself is looking very tired and clearly in need of some serious maintenance and care. We left after an hour, money wasted, morning ruined. It then took over a week for anyone to respond and a ridiculous seven weeks of chasing emails to finally get my refund. Overall, completely misleading, poorly managed, and nowhere near the “luxury tranquil escape” they advertise. Save yourself the disappointment as there’s nothing relaxing about this place except leaving it.

rating based on price - beautiful setting, and felt special/fancy. a few notes: given the caliber of hotel was somewhat surprised by what felt like slight understaffing (for instance, had to wait 20 min in the lounge and notify people we were there before anyone showed up to take order for afternoon tea; no one at breakfast when we arrived; longish wait to check in behind just one person because no one else was working the desk, no one available to drive us to the train station with our luggage etc). with that said, fantastic views, everything high quality, pool and hot tubs were lovely, worth a visit if affordable and def feels like a treat

This five star review is really for Concierge David who really gave great service. He picked us up from the train station and made my mom smile and laugh several times. This was worth more than the stay for me since we had recently lost my father. Anything that could make her happy made me happy. Also when anything was amiss in our room he was always the one to show up! A jack of all trades. Unfortunately, I didn't have access to change during my stay to give him a tip directly and wanted to show my appreciation by letting everyone know that he really is a big part of what makes Fonab a 5-star hotel.

Magical setting, third tier wildly overpriced hotel with service ranging from acceptable to laughable. Has to be reviewed contemplating cost and the relative value is very poor. Average smallish rooms, shower water pressure lacking with all other elements unremarkable. You’re staying in a nice house by a river for the price of a stunning castle. The service in the restaurant suggested that the entire staff had been under trained with tableware loudly laid down and removed. Main course delivered with the mumbled announcement of “ cod”. They were going through the motions. We had stayed at a real castle the night before that literally couldn’t be compared for the same price. The

Our stay at Fonab Castle was an absolute highlight of our trip. We were fortunate to stay in the penthouse suite, which was stunning — spacious, luxurious, and with incredible views. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond. They were attentive, genuinely friendly, and even provided us with a ride into town, which was such a thoughtful touch. The spa experience was fabulous. We enjoyed relaxing massages, swam in the pool, and spent time in the hot tub — the perfect way to unwind. We also loved exploring the grounds, especially the hike along the river to the loch, which was both beautiful and so much fun. Throughout our stay, the staff made excellent recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area. Every interaction felt personal and warm, making us feel truly cared for. Fonab Castle combines luxury, comfort, and incredible hospitality. We can’t recommend it highly enough and would return in a heartbeat.

What a magically special place! My husband and I have just returned from a terrific night away. Location was spectacular, food and drink was tremendous, room and facilities were lovely but the best rating is that the personnel were some of the best, kindest, attentive and warmest individuals and are true ambassadors of this beautiful hotel. Special thanks to Davie, Ollie and the wonderful Kiwi waitress who looked after us so well at dinner. Thanks Fonab!

There is a reason the Loft has been voted best restaurant in Scotland and featured in so many good food reviews. The food is sublime and the service friendly. Our party of four had an evening meal tonight. The duck was succulent and tender, My venison was cooked to perfection and well complemented by a rich cherry sauce. Two of our party had the cod loin, big flakes of cod perfectly cooked . All our vegetables were steamed to perfection. The servers were attentive and friendly as were the owners. I would heartedly recommend visiting the loft for a gastronomical delight. 6/8/25.

Outstanding food: perfectly cooked venison, duck fillet, lamb, and sirloin—each dish full of rich, balanced flavors. Unfortunately, the bill listed items we never ordered, which soured an otherwise excellent meal. Great kitchen, but double‑check your receipt

The food here was absolutely phenomenal! I had the lamb and it came out perfectly. Everything on the plate was delicious and complimented each other wonderfully. The service was excellent and we received our food in a perfectly timely manner. I also ordered the creme brulee for dessert, and this was utterly divine. Overall, a perfect place for a lovely meal. The decor was lovely and made you feel right at home. I strongly reccomend coming here for one of the best meals you're going to have.

Came today for our 6th Wedding anniversary. Food and service was superb as always. We had the loft cater for our Wedding Reception and had a wonderful time. Food is always superb and that is why we travel up from Derby every year just to eat here and see the wonderful staff again.

The Loft in Blair Atholl is a true gem! The warm, inviting atmosphere and stunning views are matched only by the delicious food. Every dish is a testament to fresh, local ingredients. A perfect spot for a memorable and cozy dining experience.

This was a return visit to The Loft which we visited before when staying in Blair Atholl. It is a lovely restaurant, the atmosphere is calm and not noisy even though other diners are chatting. The service is wonderful and you are made to feel very welcome. The food is fantastic with a difference in choice which makes a change to other places and it always comes beautifully presented. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area.

Amazing food and really friendly service! An easy 5 stars and would definitely return. The Haggis was the best I’ve ever had. And the stew was soooo good!

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!

Absolutely beautiful and unique piece! My pendant arrived safely and it’s even more stunning in person – like a little piece of wild Scottish nature captured in silver. The craftsmanship is lovely, and the team was very helpful during the customs process. Thank you for your care and kindness! Greetings from Czechia 💚

A great place for some very unique jewellery in a beautifully laid out shop setting but this has the added attraction of seeing how the jewellery is made from collecting the heather stalks through the various stages up to the finising layer of lacquer by way of a small exhibition area , well worth a visit

Bought a ring at Braemar when I was touring the highlands. The stone fell off on my second day of wearing it. Customer service was brilliant. They got back to me immediately and paid for postage to send the ring back to their warehouse. They sent me a new ring to my home address (outside of the UK). They cleared the custom charges as well.

I loved the little exhibition about how the jewelry was made and the products they make are gorgeous! The staff was also very friendly.

I was up here on a short break and was out for a walk when I stumbled upon this place.From the outside I wasn't quite sure what to make of it,then I walked in.....What a great place,especially if you are a foreign visitor(i am not)to find a beautiful and unique gift to take home(wherever that maybe).It's like taking a little piece of this beautiful country home with you,that will always remind you of you time here.If you're in Pitlochry and haven't been.Go in for a look

Fabulous jewellery shop with viewing of the staff creating their masterpieces from Heather and the processes. I bought a beautiful pair of earrings and a broach. Well worth a visit.

Interesting outfit, all gems are actually prepared Heather stems. Bought all the gifts i needed in a single shop 😇

Awesome whiskey tasting!!! They have a set of preselect flights that you can do, however, I wanted certain styles (eg ex bourbon cask, medium peat, etc) that I prefer and they were willing to accommodate. They are knowledgeable and the prices are good.

We were here on Sept 1st, 2023. I thought it was one of the best Whisky Tasting experience I've had. John was awesome and passionate and thus made our overall experience that much better. They are very flexible & accommodative and have great selections.

We participated in a tasting. We got so much more. The knowledge Ewan generously shared with us was amazing. He is very kind and professional. Highly recommend stopping in to his shop. If you have the time, ask about their tastings. I was impressed!!

30 years ago I would have made a trip to Pitlochry just to visit Robertson’s. It WAS in my opinion the best whisky shop in the country. Now it’s changed direction focusing on tastings. Whilst I think this has diminished the shop, I get it, but for me who loved to Just browse the vast range, it is definitely not as good as it was. I am however sure it will offer a great experience to those looking to learn more about whisky. Thanks Ewan for taking the time to respond.

Robertsons of Pitlochry - as always, an absolutely marvellous experience! The Big Whisky Weekend more than fulfilled all expectations - with information, discussions and three top-class tastings 🥃. And all for a really fair and favourable price. The unbelievably wonderful team is always on hand to answer questions or give advice with great expertise. We are already looking 😍 forward to our next trip and seeing you again! Best wishes from the Black Forest 🌲🌲

Amazing experience! We came all the way from Argentina, and the attention we received from David was absolutely wonderful. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us choose a bottle of Edradour 12 — which we loved! Thank you for such a great experience!

Great whiskies and very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly staff

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!

Nice and cozy little restaurant. We just ordered a quick dinner during a quick stop on our tour, they let us know they were already fully booked but that we could sit in the terrace which was even better. We ordered the soup and some fries and it was quite delicious. The atmosphere was great and the service was out of this world! I would just wish we had more time to try more of the delicious food they offered.

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. Heather & John McInally

Second visit recently and once again the food was outstanding and the wine too… lovely relaxed service and good choice of menu . Highly recommend.

Had to make a distress stop on our LEJOG journey with an ailing bottom bracket. The guys couldn;t replace it because of exotic parts but workshop man did a great patch-up at short notice which definitely got me to John o'Groats. Thank you!!!

Tried here as our last stop before driving home from holiday. It was raining, so we wanted somewhere to sit in. There is seating indoor and outdoor, the outdoor seating is covered over, so you can still sit out if it's rainy but warm! There were 7 of us, so we got sat together inside at a large bench. You order and pay at the counter, with meals then brought out to you. The staff were lovely and chatty and happy. At first glance, we thought some of the menu was priced slightly high. It was near £9 for a sandwich.... but... When the sandwiches came out, wow, they were like doorstops!! Overflowing with filling, they come in a large bowl with tortilla and a lovely fresh salad, the bread was so thick, gorgeous and soft! I also ordered a scone, which was huge! Maybe that was a mistake without knowing how big the sandwiches were going to be! Haha! Overall, we all absolutely enjoyed our food and thought the service was great! We will definitely be back next time we are in town! 5*

Fantastic bike shop! But the CAFE IS NO LONGER THERE, Google is wrong. There's a cafe next door though (opens at 9:30am). Great staff here at the bike shop though, very friendly.

Service, speed, attention to detail and engagement like this is hard to find! Oh and they serve great coffee too! We were next door at Jessie’s cafe travelling from Lands End to John O’Groats when I popped in with some niggles on my bike. Sorted before I could finish my sourdough toast!

Loved everything about this cafe! Atmosphere, coffee, flavourful food and the service. Lovely steak ciabatta, fries were so well cooked and flavoured and slad dressing was top notch. My partner had a pizza and it was good too. Definitely coming back when in area.

Nice little cafe with wonderful selection of bakes. Simple wooden tables and metal chairs so not the most plush place, but staff are very friendly. Marked parking on the road right outside. Ramp into cafe with double doors so wheelchair friendly but not a nonslip floor in the disabled toilet. Connected to Escape Route bike shop

Excellent service! I’m cycling from Lands End to John O’Groats. Had a few issues with my bike including my brakes! Pulled into Escape Route and the team there had it all sorted. I was soon back on the road, really friendly helpful team. Many thanks guys.

Gorgeous walk, enthralling experience watching salmon. Could've spent hours here.

It's an interesting feature to allow salmon up past the dam, but they only come up once a year, round about October so don't expect to see anything any other time. There are explanation boards at the bottom of the ladder and a walkway up the side with a bridge over it to get a full view.

Every time we have a holiday in Pitlochry, we always visit the Fish Ladder, it's brilliant with or without seeing the salmon. It's amazing when the dam is in flood. The views are wonderful & you can get some fabulous photos. Looking forward to visiting the Pitlochry Fish Ladder next year

Great walk alongside the river and over the dam. Fantastic views. Lovely town to walk through with plenty of refreshment stops. Easily accessible by car or train.

Lovely scenery beautiful place and very interesting watching the salmon go up the ladder

An Ingeneous set of pools designed that the salmon will swim up round the side of the Pitlochry dam , they swim through pipes in the bottom of the pools so they will unlikely be spotted jumping , a display at the bottom of the slope illustrates the lifestyle of the Atlantic salmon and points out the various stages of its life cycle

I really enjoy these types of places, so I can't complain, but may be a bit boring for others. Didn't see any salmon out of the water as the "ladder" has been designed so the swim underneath the surface. There is a live cam feed at the bottom of the river embankment, which was cool to see them actually going through. Free to visit so definitely worth a neb.

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.

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. .

1. Big portion of food; from the picture is a starter salad 2. Reasonable prince in the town 3. A lady who works there named Permu (hope is the right spelling) is very very nice and kind who deliver the best costumer service

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.

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.

We visited here twice one at lunchtime and one at the evening during our time in Pitlochry. My Fiancé is coeliac and I’d spotted online that there is a gluten-free menu and seemed to be pretty cleared up on the precautions needed for coeliac. We were pleased to eat here and have a really positive experience with staff very familiar with what coeliac is and the necessary precautions needed. Food is prepared separately and they’re also super cautious as when we ordered something off the menu the chef doublecheck the ingredients and realised that it may contain gluten so they came back to the table to check if we wanted something else which shows how cautious they seem to be!

When we entered we were greeted straight away and asked where we would to sit, asked what drinks and provided us with a menu. Staff were very attentive, friendly and we had great conversation about our day as well as the employee taking our photo which was an extra nicety. Pancakes were great but are cold on arrival, lovely taste and texture but my daughter stated her bacon was far too overcooked and didn’t eat it which was a shame, overall a quiet quaint restaurant which was quite enjoyable after a manic morning

Great place (recommended by a friend) to give yourself the right energy to start your very pleasant visit to Pitlochry. I had the chance to taste the typical Scottish Breakfast in a vegetarian version, the sausages tasted great! The coffee was good (I'm Italian) and the service friendly, I will definitely return there on the occasion of the Enchanted Forest. 😍

Excellent food, and served in around 10 mins from order. Staff friendly and courteous. Photos show our lunch. I had the haggis dish, my partner the goats cheese and black pudding. Good value (£10 per person) Atmosphere is hard to rank objectively but the restaurant was clean and well presented.

This place is on the main road of Pitlochry. The the food was quite good in taste, and arrived without being unnecessarily delayed. Our server was actually quite courteous and fast. However - the lady at the bar, who seemed to control everything, was quite curt and insulting to the curstomers! I do not know what their usual timings are, but the day we were there, she made someone close the restaurant before it was 7pm even! Considering that all the other 3 restaurants in close vicinity are open and serving customers till past 9 pm, this was surprising. (We left without getting any desert, and went to the CoOp for buying some chocolate off the shelf just to finish our meal). The rating here would have been like 2 stars if it wasn't for our actual server who we could see was trying his absolute best to do everything quickly and courteously. (We heard him ask this lady why they were closing at 7!)

The restaurant is very cozy and has a lovely conservatory (probably need booking). The food was delicious too. We ordered the soup of the day and chefs special’s salmon spaghetti that came with the tastiest garlic bread. Although it was quite pricey but the portion was filling. Staff were nice but could have been a little more attentive as we waited a long time to order.

Loved the pizza, garlic bread and the strawberry milk shake. The lady at the reception greeted us with a great smile and while paying the bill the Man had a big smile as well ☺️. Overall It was amazing experience dining in. Service was fast.

We had cream of broccoli soup and Late, staff were very helpful. We were offered water for the dog and a treat. So yes very dog friendly and very helpful and polite staff. Nice soup and coffee. Recommend.

An absolute gem of a find in Pitlochry. We stopped in Pitlochry on our drive down the A9 purposely to try the Garden Cafe and were delighted when they had a table available to sit in. The cafe was busy with constant trade of tourists and locals - always a great sign when the locals are regulars. Although it was busy, the service was friendly and attentive. For our Saturday brunch I ordered the French toast which has lovely presentation and was very tasty. My dining partner had the Eggs hollandaise with black pudding which she really enjoyed - do note their is a paprika kick which I am sure you could ask for without if you prefer. There was plenty of cakes on display which my companion got some to take away and enjoyed. We loved our brunch so much that when we were passing heading home northwards on the Sunday we stopped in again for lunch. I had planned on getting homemade soup because it looked incredible at other tables but as the flavour wasn't for me, I opted for the burger special which was a perfect option. My companion got a baked potato which gave her quite a shock at the plentiful portion. We left stuffed but with no regret as the food was delicious and filled us up all day!

Popped in for brunch on a sunny day (unplanned). It’s a great little spot, space is at a premium but if you like a cozy vibe this place has it with a modern twist. Food and service were great and the highest compliment I can make is to say I’d be back again.

Best breakfast in town! Always look so beautiful and Mayo and Ryan and their team and quite simply amazing. So lucky to be local and have this ! ❤️

Our tour had a stop in Pitlochry, and I made a beeline straight for the Garden Café Pitlochry — you were either with me or left in the dust. Anyone who followed was lucky to experience lunch at this charming little gem. Owner Ryan is the perfect front man — all smiles and genuine hospitality. He made us feel completely at home, like we were dining in his own kitchen. The Cullen skink was the best we’ve ever had; from the elegant presentation, you could tell it was going to be unforgettable — subtle, balanced flavors done just right. We also loved the passion behind creating such a warm, garden-like ambiance. A true hidden treasure in Pitlochry. Saluti!

I just got a coffee but the place was lovely, the staff was stressed but super nice (I went there at the opening in the morning). It’s a cute place and I would recommend it. The food looked great !

Good food, but very poor disability etiquette. When you want to move a spare seat from someone's table to take elsewhere, you shouldn't remove the crutches resting there, and hand them to the disabled diner who was there first. Neither should you tell them that you need to clear the tables in that room, so you've served their coffee in another room. That gives a message that the customers come a poor second to staff convenience. That might have been understandable if the staff was young and inexperienced, but not in this case.

We stopped in for a quick meal and coffee on our way to Kincraig. The Cappuccino and Americano were each delicious. Our food was also tasty (Eggs Benny, English Breakfast, cheese scone). Our 1 yr+ was with us and the staff were very considerate and easy going.

Amazing hotel and loved our stay with our wee dog. Felt very welcome from the moment we arrived. Very friendly staff. Cheeseboard on arrival was excellent. Cocktails in the bar were very good with my favourite being the black spout. We had the 3 course menu which was excellent and a pleasant surprise given that the menu is quite ambiguous which we really loved. Made the meal exciting and great that you get what the kitchen is preparing that evening. Breakfast in the morning was also great and service brilliant. We stayed in the puffin room. Very comfortable and clean with everything you need. Very easy to get to all attractions in pitlochry and surrounding with the town centre a short walk away. My only disappointment was that we didn't stay longer and look forward to it next visit. Thanks for a great stay.

AMAZING stay at Saorsa 1875. We stayed for 5 nights in the hotel and had the most relaxing time. Food & Drink - absolutely incredible, and some of the best food I have ever eaten. The breakfasts were filling and a great way to set up your day, and the 5 course meal was incredibly inventive and flavourful. My meat eating partner was amazed by the flavours and textures in the food, and has considered veganism himself since our stay! The hotel lounge/bar is a very nice relaxed area, with some lovely cocktails! Service - couldn’t have asked for a better experience here. All the staff were super friendly and welcoming, and gave great recommendations for the local area. They all seemed very passionate about the hotel & food, which added to the experience. We were well looked after and felt a part of the Saorsa family by the time we left. Room - we stayed in their ‘Lynx’ room, which was a very spacious and well equipped room. The decor is modern but in-keeping with the style of the building, and the bed was super comfortable. Surroundings - the hotel itself had a lovely little woodland walk and outdoor seating areas that were very relaxing (when it wasn’t raining!). It’s only a short walk into Pitlochry town where you can spend a few hours shopping & dining. We ate at a few restaurants & pubs during our stay and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Of course there are many local walks and great views to be seen nearby. We will be back to stay at Saorsa any chance we get, and thoroughly recommend a visit - vegan or not!

A gorgeous vegan haven in a brilliant little town. Sandra is simply a wonderful host and lovely person. Saorsa 1875 has clean, stylish, and comfortable rooms. The grounds around the place are inviting and beautiful. I cannot say enough positive things about this hotel and my stay. Highly recommended!

A very pleasant experience. There is a nice relaxed atmosphere in the hotel . Staff are friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and beautifully prepared. The menu does not give a full picture of what the dishes are like so we were pleasantly surprised.We tried the mese board for an evening snack and this was outstanding.Prices are on the high side , but you're getting fresh organic and locally sourced ingredients. Our room was comfortable and restful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Saorsa 1875. The food was outstanding – beautifully presented, creative, and full of flavour. The service was impeccable; the team made me feel genuinely welcome and cared for throughout my visit. The rooms were comfortable and thoughtfully designed, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was warm, relaxing, and inviting. Saorsa 1875 is a truly special place, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I’ll definitely be coming back!

As a vegan and animal rights advocate, I was so excited to find a hotel that aligned with my values and offered a fully plant-based experience. The commitment to being a vegan hotel is a huge plus and something I genuinely appreciate. The hotel itself has a wonderful concept, and the decor is charming and the woodland area is nice. However, our stay was unfortunately let down by a few key issues. The service felt distracted, and we had to wait to check in as the staff were too few and too busy, meaning that after a 7 hour journey we didn't feel very welcome. We were also disappointed by the small and slightly underwhelming breakfast offerings (my husband was served a very small pot of granola and an even smaller slice of toast with beans). While it's great to have a plant-based breakfast, the variety and portion size could be improved to match the hotel's high-end ambition. The breakfast is also not served until 8am, and as early risers, this is too late for us so we rushed in order to get back on the road. The biggest frustration was the unexpected overcharge for our two dogs. We believe a hotel with a strong vegan ethos would be more inclusive of animal companions. The hotel's response to our query felt dismissive and didn't align with the welcoming, compassionate spirit we expected. On the website it states the charge of £25 for dogs, not per dog or per stay, and on querying a charge of £50 for one night bringing our dogs, I was told this was my error as I hadn't booked for two. There was no way to add extra dogs when we booked, and I hadn't even considered they would apply this charge twice. Additionally, the noise from other guests and music from the bar late into the night was quite disruptive, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep when we had another long drive the next day. All in all we were at the hotel for just over 12 hours, there was nothing special to make it welcoming for our dogs, so the £50 charge felt very unfair and unclear. Overall, while the hotel's core values are fantastic and the idea of a vegan hotel is something I fully support, the execution fell short on several fronts. With more attentive service, improved breakfast options, and a more compassionate approach to animal companions, this hotel could truly be a standout destination.

We stayed at Saorsa for one night in April and were blown away by our experience. In the lovely picturesque town of Pitlochry, the hotel is a must for any vegan oriented people travelling in that area. We stayed in the wildcat room which was very comfy and stylish, the Bluetooth speaker was a very nice touch. The owner Sandra gave us a welcome tour and was helpful and friendly throughout. We stayed for the 5 course dinner and every course was delicious. We appreciated the focus on local and climate friendly products, and we're impressed to find that the menu changes each day! The breakfast was equally fantastic, with an array of options which could be ordered, with a fruit, juice and toast table available too. It was a pleasure to be able to support such a fantastic vegan business staffed by such lovely people. Believe the hype!

A lovely spot for an easy, unhurried walk. There’s a circular route that our two kids and dog managed with no problem. Beautiful mountain views, a few waterfalls, and stunningly clear water. There are even a couple of benches at the top to rest and take it all in.

The lovely walk to the falls is much more pleasant because Robert Burns convinced the Duke of Atholl to plant trees. Watching people slide down the rocks into the water was quite entertaining.

Lovely walk next to the shopping centre - sounds weird I know!! But so peaceful - the falls were incredible. Parked for free and used the wonderful courtyard cafe afterwards

Stunning scenery and a lovely short walk. Give it about 45 minutes to get all the way around with a couple of stops to take in the beautiful Scottish wilds.

Lovely spot, nice walk up to the top. I pulled over to stretch my legs heading south.... Was worth the pit stop

The Falls of Bruar rose to prominence in the late 18th century, immortalised by Robert Burns, who penned a poem imploring the Duke of Atholl to enrich the stark landscape with trees. The Duke obliged, and today visitors are treated to a serene, wooded gorge that became a favourite retreat during the Victorian era. There are two main cascades—lower and upper—and reaching them involves a modest uphill walk. It’s not overly demanding; 30 to 45 minutes will comfortably suffice unless one chooses to continue further into the forested trails. The setting is utterly tranquil, rich in greenery and fresh air, and although the waterfalls themselves are not vast, the experience is undeniably rewarding. Do bear in mind, however, that the terrain may pose challenges for those with limited mobility. Conveniently, there is a free car park, a selection of shops nearby, and a café offering refreshments and light bites for those wishing to relax before or after their walk.

A Fabulous 👌 Experience, walking the Falls of Bruar, A Good, but Quite rough Track in places, Steep in some parts.... I would Highly Recommend Proper Walking Boots ( especially for Ankle Support) even though this walk could be seen as Easy, if there's been alot of Rain 🌧, the Paths become very muddy, the rocks are very Slippery when Wet, and the Wooden walkways covering some of the Soft Ground, are also Slippery, so PLEASE TAKE GREAT CARE... when doing this walk... we were here after some very Heavy rain 🌧 had Swollen the Rivers, so the Falls were in Spectacular Form..... and the whole Setting/ Scene is Especially stunning with the Fabulous Autumn Colours 🍂 🍁🍁🍂🍂🔥🍁🍁 a walk to Savour..... There is Excellent parking, and after the walk, you can Take your time and Enjoy a Refreshing Drink, in the Lovely Restaurant in the House of Bruar shopping Park.... The walk is signposted, and I would Highly Recommend this, allow around an Hour,N,half- 2 hours.... there are many Beautiful moments to Enjoy......

If you are in passing by, pull up & take an hours stroll in the woods to visit Dunalastair House. We entered at the cottage and admired the ornate metal gates raring about their maker online (quite interesting Glaswegian chap), enjoyed a stroll on well paved roads. To circle the house entirely requires you to walk on uneven ground full of roots & trees. The house itself is beautiful with many features and flourishes to spot. It’s completely fenced off with barbed wire but the innards of the house are completely overgrown & dilapidated and can be seen easily from a distance. There is a small cemetery near by too. Spotted several birds, a long worm, grouse and farm animals during lambing.

Being a Robertson I always wanted to visit this place. Yes ok it's not very much to look at now but still interesting. Parking at entrance but don't block the gate. Free to walk around.

Short walk from the main road as this is on private property but pedestrians are allowed. Definitely nice place to check when you sre around

Fascinating architecture. Really is such a beautiful building but I wouldn't bother going. Access is extremely limited. No parking signs everywhere you think might be a good spot and to be fair you probably couldn't enforce it but not worth hassle with locals. People say park on the roadside but it is not safe so please don't do this.

So neat. Only ones there. Right off a little gravel road. Can't believe its there.

First point: access to this is on private land so be respectful. Very interesting ruined Manor House. Roadside parking only, and the house is accessible through a gate and there is a very descent track up to the property and it's about 700m - a very slow 10 minute walk. You are able to walk around about 95% of it, and there is a fence all the way around to prevent access to the building.

Many call it a Castle ruins, but reality is it's a house that was built on the land of Clan Robertson's Castle that had burned down many many years before the Dunalastair house was ever built. The house has a great history all to it's own.

Really easy munro to climb (about 5h there and back for me), just over half the route is on a gravel path. Rest of the journey is over stones which require some scrambling, but shouldn't pose a problem for most people. Good view from the top, especially if the weather is good. Due to it being one of the easier munros it can be busy at the top.

This Munro known as the Fairy Hill of Caledonians, stands tall with its beautiful conical shape from afar. Thanks to its well-defined path from the Brae of Foss entrance to the summit at 3553 ft, it is one of the easiest climbs. I fear heights, yet I found this hike less intimidating than my previous three Munros. While some say the hike can be completed in 5-6 hours, we took 7 hours, enjoying breaks and the breathtaking views. Good hiking boots are a must, as the path is filled with boulders and rocks, especially near the top. It can be hazardous, so I give it a 4-star review. Hiking poles were essential for me, especially with my bad knee. On a warm May day, we came prepared with plenty of food, water, and snack bars, though a bit more water would have been wise. I finished about 1.5 litres, and it was almost not enough. Be cautious of small, fragmented rocks on the way down. Gravity can make the path slippery, and I almost slipped, but my poles saved me. I hope this review inspires you ☺️ Enjoy every moment of your journey to the top. 🍀💕

The Faerie Mountain is definitely captivating from a long distance away, and quite pretty close up. The view from Brae of Foss is particularly enjoyable, and a good road takes you up a good way to make the hike shorter.

Such a wonderful Munro in the north eastern of Southern Highlands, end of the Glen Lyon valley and with stunning views over to The Cairngorms and Glencoe plains

Great mountain to climb. Fantastic path most of the way, large boulder field to cross to get to the summit.

Took 6 hrs for us to get to top and back… we’re all over 60 🙂 Check the weather before you go - at the top there was no view because of mist and rain. There’s really no more trail for the last 1/2 mile or more which made for slow going having to carefully watch each step on the jumble of loose rocks that you have to negotiate. Well worth it though.

If this is one of the easier munros then god help me trying to do any others 😂 in all seriousness, this was the first time I attempted any and while it was rough going as we didn’t anticipate the rocky terrain higher up (and I have a chronic illness which, yknow, adds a whole other thing) - we made it to the summit! And my first! Be warned - there’s multiple false summits and lots of scrambling over rocks higher up. But the lower half is a walkable path and a decent enough climb for those wanting a lil hike without climbing the whole thing. We took it easy and had plenty of pit stops along the way, chatting to folks as we went. We even spotted a few sheep roaming around (maybe a note for the dog walkers out there 😂) Also, toilets and a parking lot down near the bottom!

Can be reached on foot from Pitlochry or Garry Bridge. I parked at Garry Bridge where there is a large car park because it can get busy and followed path down underneath the bridge and along the river. Interesting route to the falls, over an old fish ladder by wooden bridge. Great views of it. Autumn colours are good just now (October). There were people going over the falls in tubes. Took 20 mins to get there. Good path with a staircase and other concrete steps

Stunning views, so tranquil and beautiful to be in nature. We camped further up Loch Tummel and came to explore the scenery. Walked up and over Garry Bridge further up as well. Really breathtaking views.

Stunning falls, gorgeous walks in the area. In the summer months expect to see kayakers and Rafts hurtling down the falls. Great for wild swimming below the falls.

A quiet place, surrounded by nature. The sign for the trail is hard to see if you're not paying attention, but it's opposite the parking lot. Go down a path for maximum 2 minutes. There are rocks where you can sit and even picnic in nature. Nice, clean and it's like a getaway from the city.

Lovely and quiet walk to the falls.

Lots of great trails to follow and stunning views. Best to go in autumn for the stunning mix of colours. There are some steep stairs in places but the paths are good

A pleasant area to walk around, the paths are well trodden, initial access is via steps at the side of Garry Bridge. There is a map nearby showing the routes to the falls, and also to Killiecrankie.

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.

Nice & Quite Town with loads of designer outlets, Nice big gift shops but almost no halal food for muslims visitors also mostly restaurant even fish & chips opened at after 2 -5 pm. If anyone is coming here be prepared to eat greggs only ... 😋

Some stalls have card machines others not. So many lovely products on sale. Ample parking for £2 per hour (cash only). Nearby toilets at 50p. Overall jolly experience i was pleased we stumbled across the wee market with all the friendly sellers.

Bought some lovely earrings for my wife , birthstones & some lovely chai tea, clootie dumpling flavour!

Lovely friendly Market good selection of stalls highly recommend a visit

Nice wee market with all local handmade products. Worth a visit if you are in town.

go in there and you will be surrounded by kind, lovely and supportive people.

Very small and overpriced probably just set up to take money from tourists

Arrived and service was great from the start, ordered quickly as wasn’t too busy and drinks brought to us promptly, food wasn’t too long behind. It was professionally presented and looked Amazing. First time me and my daughter had tried Thai food, my daughter absolutely loved her Egg fried rice, my red Thai curry wasn’t to my taste but overall it was a decent serving. Pricey for what it is but the service was fantastic. Easy to find and a fantastic atmosphere

We had a wonderful time at The-Wee-Choo-Choo! The service was incredible and the food was fantastic. We had tried to book a table via open table but we didn’t receive a cooking confirmation so the booking wasn’t on the system but the staff managed to squeeze us in and we were very grateful! We will be back and would recommend to anyone thinking of booking in! First class service and food!

An absolute GEM in the middle of Scotland's Highlands. The setting is whimsical and fun, upscale without feeling stuffy, and there is love in every single item that comes out of the bar and kitchen. There is no better Thai curry. Do make a reservation, at least a day in advance if possible. We were one of the fortunate few to get to walk in and get a seat without one. Give 90 minutes if you're planning on attending the theatre after. There didn't seem to be an enforced dress code, but most people were dressed nicely, with button downs and dresses and such.

It’s a restaurant placed within one of the train carriages used in mission impossible movie where Tom cruise runs on top of this carriage! Good selection of Thai cuisine with very chatty waitresses. It was a great experience!

Really tasty food and amazing restaurant ! Family owned restaurant, mommy is the chef and dad & daughter "en salle" The owner is "aux petits soins" and very cool m. Definitely a nice stop when in Pitlochry. I recommend to book in advance :)

Wow! We enjoyed a fantastic dinner here while on holiday and wish the choo-choo could come visit us at home! The family that owns and operates the restaurant were lovely and prepare truly amazing Thai dishes. Both my wife and I devoured our massaman curries. Full of flavor, the meat was so tender really incredible. And the history of the train is super cool as well. A must visit if you’re in the area!

I was recommended here by a work colleague and decided to take my fiancé for his birthday as we love Thai cuisine. We were both enchanted by the setting and the food was the best Thai cuisine we had ever had, presentation and combination of flavours was amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful without it feeling like they were hovering or imposing on our time together. I highly recommend The Wee Choo Choo to anyone and we will definitely be back.

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 :)

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!

Just enjoyed dinner here. Ladies serving were 5* and had us seated as soon as we walked through the door. We were even asked if we wanted a dog water bowl and lots of attention was given to our furry friend. Food was to die for and great portions. Would definitely recommend and return here.

Nearing the end of a 10km hike this pub emerged and beckoned us in. The service was fantastic, the food was decent "golf clubhouse" food and you get to watch how well positioned the creek is on 18 as it collects ball after ball throughout your meal. All around a decent stop (and lunch prices are cheaper than right in Pitlochry.

The service and food here was a highlight to our trip across Scotland. My little girls were met with the kindest staff who made things extra special for no reason at all. The food was well prepared and the ingredients used were fresh and satisfying. Not pictured but amazing freshly baked scones and spot on coffee. We will definitely return. Until then please tell your lovely ladies in the kitchen thank you for hand delivering and the waitress a special thank you for her warm welcome and attentiveness. Not mention my husband had a wonderful time on the course.

We traveled from Mexico and went on a road trip around Scotland , and this was definitely our favorite meal of the entire trip. The service was amazing, and the prices were very fair. If you're in the area, you absolutely have to eat at Red Deer!

Stopped for a quick drink while out for a walk. The restaurant and bar appear as part of the golf club. But not exclusive to the club. Drink was a reasonable price, and the service was friendly. Drank outside with a view of the golf course.

Friendly, welcoming and efficient staff. The most delicious Coronation Chicken Baked Potato, full of chopped apricots along with a tasty side salad. (Leek and Potato soup and Garlic Mushrooms also excellent) Even better, we were offered sausages for our dog. All in all a lovely experience.

Just dropped in here after walking locally. Had a decent pint of beer and a nice homemade type of scone. Nice views across the golf course from our outside table.

Can’t speak highly enough of this place. 10 of us stopped in here for lunch yesterday and they couldn’t be any more helpful and accommodating. Very friendly and attentive staff our kids got to use the pool table which they loved. Food is amazing and portions are very generous This was our first time visiting but certainly won’t be our last Thanks again
