We had a large room with a comfortable bed. The bathroom was large and well appointed. The staff was attentive and professional. The food was good. The town of Dunkeld was picturesque and charming.

Michael United States of America

Even though it was just for a night we arrived after a shockingly uncomfortable United flight (even by their rapidly declining standards) into Edinburgh from IAD, exhausted. The drive out was about an hour. The hotel, staff, Bistro (I had the mixed grill which was superb) and location were restorative. The food and service in the Bistro attached to the hotel was first rate, the bed comfortable, staff helped carry our bags up, and we slept deeply and well after a walk by the silvery Tay and round the charming town. It's a family run hotel and we recommend it without hesitation and with gratitude. It's what a hotel should be, a welcoming, warm and comfortable Inn free of bland, generic, corporate trappings located in the center of town (we had room 1 - first in every way - with nice thick curtains which helped with the jet lag).

Staff most helpful. Excellent porridge and lovely fry in the morning and a beautiful evening meal. Situation on the river is very scenic, and the atmosphere was very relaxing
