“Not to be recommended”

Hotel Acarsaid

6 May 2008
1/2 found this review helpful

Booked through laterooms.com. they called hotel to check wheat free bread products were available for breakfast and we were told "yes". Surprisingly enough they were not once we arrived!We had a room in the lodge. It was huge with what we thought was a kingsize bed.....not! it was two singles pushed together and dressed in kingsized clothing. The room was also unbelievably hot.
The decor of the whole place was tatty. Our ensuite bathroom was very poor. Dull, needing renovated and the shower was a trickle that we couldn't control the temperature on.
breakfast was disappointing.....smaall portions and not much choice....and no wheat free bread.
Their website promised internet access in public spaces......this was not available either!
luckily we had gone to Pitlochry to see it, not spend time in the hotel.

Stayed at the Acarsaid for 1 night before travelling on to Brora. Very nice stay the only fault was that there wasn't a shower in the room only a bath but the room was clean and the bed was king size and very comfy. Breakfast very nice.
Would stay there again.

My friend and I were looking for somewhere to stay that promised an early breakfast (7.15-7.30am) as we were hill walking and needed to be away early every morning of our three night stay.
We were given assureances that this would be "No trouble at all" by email. First morning was fine but the next morning as we tried to get to the dining room the owner said that breakfast would not be served until 8am. After metioning the emails he said he remembered them but he was not willing to pay to someone to come in early on a weekend.
We eventually did get a breakfast around 7.50am and the following day nearer 8.15am. Not served with very much grace.
We would have stayed somewhere else to avoid the grief.
Room was very average and could have done with a bathroom refit. Young guy on arrival very helpful indeed but others in the dining room were not.
Handy for the town centre but would not go out my way to stay here again. Big sign outside saying that the room rate was £26.50 but we were charged £34 which was a bit odd.

“The place to stay in Scotland”

When ever I or my family go to Scotland either on business or pleasure we have found the Acarsaid Hotel the best place to stay. The host are gracious . The family like the freindly atmosphere of the staff and the helpful information on what is going on and things to do. The food is excellant both for breakfast and for dinner. If you are going to Scotland for golf there are 50 courses within and hour drive of the hotel. The staff will accomdate an early breakfast if you have a early tt-time to get to. The family just enjoy everything about the hotel, although randked only 3 stars in our opinion it should be randked higher. We recommend the hotel to asll who are going to Scotland to tour the highlands as the place to stay for its location and the helpfulness of the staff, from directions to out of the way places to visit. We have always found the hotel to be clean and the rooms nicely decorated, This is a plus and a stop you have to make. Andrew Ritchie, Fort Worth Texas USA

“Really enjoyed the Acarsaid Hotel”

Hotel Acarsaid

3 Jul 2007

We arrived in Pitlochry on Thursday 28 June in the late afternoon. We had not arranged anywhere to stay and happened to see that rooms were available in the Acarsaid Hotel as we drove past. The manager was extremely pleasant and we were given a room at the front of the hotel. This was a spacious room with a spotlessly clean bathroom and we were very impressed. The hotel had a lovely lounge, with a small bar and was very comfortable. All the staff we encountered were extremely pleasant and helpful.

After a good nights sleep in one of the most comfortable hotel beds I have experienced, we had the most delicious breakfast. My partner went for fresh fruit, followed by kippers (perfect according to him) and I had the full grill, which included yummy sausage, bacon, black pud, haggis, beans, mushrooms and eggs however you liked them. We were offered more toast and coffee and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. We have had many breakfasts in B & Bs and hotels and we found this one to be one of the best so far.

We were so impressed with everything about the Acarsaid Hotel that we asked the manageress to add us to her mailing list for their Xmas and New Year breaks. We will definitely return to this lovely hotel. Pitlochry itself is one of my favourite places, with lots to see and do and plenty of good places to eat. We had a great Indian meal at the restaurant on the other side of the road heading into Pitlochry.

What had been a last minute visit turned out to be a great little break. Well done the Acarsaid - can't wait to return.
