Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of my favourite coffee stops from driving around, my wife and I visited the home of Heather Gem I have already bought my wife some pieces but a visit to the factory in Pitlochry was fascinating and the amount of different pieces for sale was mind blowing. Well worth a visit.
We then had a walk down by the river it was so nice. Another brilliant day in busy Pitlochry lol please visit if you haven’t already.

Staff have decided to limit parking to 20 minutes. Do they own the car park? Seems a bit ridiculous given that anyone could laminate a sign.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for your comments regarding the car parking limitations.
The car park is leased to VisitScotland and is for the iCentre customer and staff use. During busy times of year, the car park can be very full but with no visitors in the iCentre. The sign is purely to give priority to those people looking to use the iCentre for information.
Kind regards
Katie

Staff very helpful and friendly, especially David. We were in a bit of a spot after promising to take our children fishing, only to find out the local fishing venue in Pitlochry was managed by a grumpy man who made us feel so unwelcome we decided not to give him our custom. David at the ‘I’ centreI quickly sorted out an alternative for us - at Willowgate Fishereries in Perth, calling ahead and booking us in - a great day was enjoyed by all. The staff at the ‘I’ centre are friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful and I would highly recommend you use this service.

Great location on the right as you drive into Pitlochry from the South.
Plenty of car parking andHeathergems is just set back behind the building and worth a visit, too.
Previously I have been able to book an overnight coach ride South but on this visit, I was informed that booking on behalf of a customer was no longer offered. I was advised that overnight coaches no longer stop in Pitlochry but in fact they still do. I took one down to Victoria un London.
Free wi if is available and customers are encouraged to book by themselves
Free wi if is useful, as Pitlochry is like a backhole for satellite Internet. It drops in and out all over the place.
There is a good selection of souvenirs and scenic cards

Once you get inside, the staff are knowledgeable and there is a great selection of information to take away. I think they should consider a fifteen minute free parking policy.
