“Lovely location but service needs attention”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011

We booked a one night stay here just as a last minute night away before returning to work. The hotel is in a lovely location opposite Beatrix Potter Garden and it has plenty of parking around the hotel as well as a few areas of outside seating. There are nice walks around the hotel and down by the river. We booked for Bed and Breakfast and when we checked in were advised to reserve a table for dinner if we intended eating in the hotel and so after looking at the restaurant menu in our room decided to eat in the hotel. We booked to eat in the restaurant but when we went down for dinner discovered they were only serving in the Scots Bar which had tables set but was a bar and not a restaurant. The food was good although the service was not as we were served 1 starter and about 5 minutes later after some discussion, the other one appeared. No problem with the main course but the menu was slightly different from the restaurant and when I asked for biscuits and cheese for dessert as it was on restaurant menu I was told it was not on theirs so was not served. Breakfast was quite basic. I ordered scrambled egg and got just that although it did say it was served on hot buttered toast but as they had a toast machine they obviously assumed you would just make your own. My husband had the full Scottish and it was adequate. Again the service was not good as there was only one lady serving while we were in.

Room Tip: Room we had was very clean and spacious but toiletries consisted of a bottle of hand wash and a bott...

“Very good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

Very good value for money. A quiet spot which is ideal if you want to chill out away from the world but not so ideal if you need internet and mobile signals ! Clean, comfortable and food of a high quality. Grumpy barman could learn a lot though from his much older colleague Margaret who was extremely helpful, friendly and lots of fun.

Room Tip: Ground floor appears to be refurbished and better quality

“Fairly good, though maybe a wee bit pricey.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011 via mobile

Enjoyed my stay and decent location. Good service at the hotel reception. I just felt it was a bit expensive.

“Quietly fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2011

Went to enjoy a family Sunday lunch and was not disappointed in the slightest. The service was efficient and unobtrusive. The food was contemporary in its' simplicity with quality ingredients. The staff were professionally patient attending to a family with 3 kids all under 4 years of age. A great afternoon out with the only downside being we couldn't stay any longer.

“We had a great stay and planning another stay soon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2011

We stayed at this hotel after returning from a holiday in florida and wanted to unwind a bit after a hectic 2 weeks.
We live just over an hour away from Birnam and have had the odd night out in Dunkeld before and thought it was just what we needed.
We stayed at the hotel with friends and we all thought it was just perfect and the fact that it was such a lovey sunny weekend added to our stay. We found the staff to be very helpful and the rooms were lovely and clean and very comfy. It was just what we wanted of a country hotel.
The hotel is a grand building and the grounds are just lovely . It took us maybe about 10 min to walk to Dunkeld. We had our tea outside at the Birnam Inn and it was just perfect. The staff there could not have been nicer it was such a lovely atmosphere.
Unfortunatley we only stayed for one night but are planning to go back again. We also unfortunatley did not manage to sample breakfast as it finished too early for us on this occasion at half 9 (maybe next time tho),

Thank you so much
