Having read some negative reviews I was a bit worried after booking for my annual 'girls' weekend. If you are looking for 5 star accommodation at 3 star prices it won't happen but if you're looking for clean beds, good food and great staff at value prices then Pitlochry Hydro is for you. Granted our bedroom had seen better days... More

Hello, Yes, we arrange the weather here .... all part of the service. I think trip advisor is a great thing but people do remember the occasional poor review and skip past all the good ones.....I do it myself ! I'm just glad you all had a nice time and have reviewed us so fairly and feel we are good... More

This was our first Shearings coach holiday and certainly will not be the last. Our coach driver Colin was fantastic. His knowledge on Scotland is unbelievable. He kept everyone laughing and made the journey really enjoyable. First impression of the hotel was great. The hotel reception staff we friendly and very welcoming.

Room was a good size, clean with nice furnishings. Bathroom was very nice. We were upgraded upon arrival (don't know why) to a superior room but for the price we'd already agreed (£65.00). The breakfast was good except for two things. One no-one was around when we went down and after we'd sat down, staff asked us to move. Two,... More

Hi, glad you enjoyed your break, I've tried to get to the bottom of 'kippergate' and it seems the chef misunderstood one of the waiters so apologies (who decided that kippers should be served at breakfast anyway !!!!! I've never understood that.) The reason you got an upgrade was that a very good friend of mine who recommend this Hotel... More

Hello, what a lovely review, we are all delighted. Yes, you are correct......the deals we have on at the moment are amazing and customers have really appreciated them in what you say are 'difficult financial times'.
