Reviews and Ratings
I arrived at the hotel and was pleasantly surprised by its central location in Comrie, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. The service was top-notch, with the staff being friendly, obliging, and efficient. The dining experience was delightful, with a delicious breakfast setting me up for the day ahead. However, the price per night was a bit steep and might not suit everyone's budget.
The hotel offers excellent clean and tidy rooms with faultless breakfast and evening meals, but it's a bit old-fashioned, lacking duvets. The rooms are clean but a little dated, although the heat on the top floor can be excessive at night even with radiators off.
The hotel has a great location in the center of the village, perfect for exploring Perthshire, with a nice ambiance. The rooms, however, were a bit run down and in need of a thorough dusting. The service was friendly and helpful but seemed a bit short-staffed. The dining experience in the evening was fantastic with a large choice available. Overall, the hotel offers a cozy atmosphere but might need some room improvements.
