Atholl Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place is amazing!!! The staff were fantastic. Loved the pool and jacuzzi. We walked the grounds which are beautiful. We wish we could have stayed more than one night. Out of the 4 places we’ve stayed so far in Scotland this was our favorite."

Coylumbridge Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"My stay was fleeting, I didn’t use the amenities but everything looked provided for and especially families, there appeared to be lots to keep kids entertained. I only had need to speak with 2 members of staff, they were both professional. I didn’t have any food at the hotel, I chose to go into Aviemore for dinner and breakfast"

Scotlands Spa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a comfortable stay and was treated well by the staff. The room had been recently refurbished,coffee maker,kettle etc, and was roomy with a comfortable large bed.,clean etc. We were a little unsure how room service was conducted but didn't cause any concern to us. There was a very good buffet style breakfast with something to suit most tastes, cooked or cold ,just suit yourself to whatever took your fancy. A spacious dining room. The Hotel has a small indoor pool to use open 8am to 8pm and a bar/lounge serving various drinks. So all in all for us a nice few days,in a good location (5 mins approx to the station,buses and the numerous eating establishments.,shops. Reading some of the previous reviews made us a little unsure what to expect, but no major issues as we like to enhance the good points rather than look for finicky negatives,which everywhere in our experience of staying in hotels Europe wide can be subject to critiscm if one looks for it, of course any major issues we would report!"

Pine Trees Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"One of our favorite hotels we stayed at in Scotland. Lovely hotel with wonderful design details. Staff were friendly and helpful. We got a message that our room was not available due to the need for some maintenance. They ugraded our room and made it right. They gave us a lift to the train station after our stay. Just be advised that it is an uphill walk to the hotel if you have luggage and choose to walk from the train station."

The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely time here at the highland Hydro Hotel. The staff were excellent, friendly and eager to help! Zultan, Lima, Yasara and a young chap in the restaurant were all superb and definitely assets for your hotel! The pool was my favorite place to be, we will return! Our room was large, clean and very comfortable! Even our dog was made feel very welcome! (Loved the doggy food menu) Thank you all!"

The Boat Hotel

8/10 Good

"A really nice old building. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, particularly the lady and young guy at breakfast (exception was the slightly snippy receptionist who we met on arrival - we never saw her again after that, perhaps a temp?). Our room was a cosy double - it was certainly cosy and quite small, but decor was nice and had everything we needed. Breakfast was excellent - the coffee machine was great, but the instructions were only in English and the German people in front of us had no idea how to use it. Some additional languages might be good given the range of nationalities staying there."
