The photos on the website suggest a wow factor and we had high expectations for our stay. Believe me, the reality is even more impressive! Martin and Andrea have done a beautiful job to upgrade and modernise. Everything is to a really high standard - and exceptionally clean.
A really prompt and personal email to acknowledge our booking gave a clue as to the great customer service. Friendly, but not intrusive.
The conservatory, with the breakfast room and guest lounge, is a fantastic space. And in February, the stove made it all the more welcoming. Comfy seating to chill out. Magazines and books available. Wifi if you want or need it.
Our energetic friends received excellent advice for their hill run and mountain bike routes. And we took heed of the restaurant recommendations too - excellent meals were enjoyed in both The Old Smiddy and Fern Cottage.
And while we're on the subject of food, the Craigatin breakfast is one of the best I've ever come across. Cereals, fresh fruit, porridge, omelettes, croissants, pancakes, full Scottish - no, I didn't eat them all, but what a fantastic choice and the quality was superb.
As for location, the Craigatin is within easy walking distance of all the shops, restaurants and amenities of Pitlochry centre and the beautiful walk down to the dam, fish ladder and theatre.
This was our third stay in Pitlochry and won't be our last. Now we've found the Craigatin, we'll look no further for our accommodation next time.
Room Tip: Our party were in the main house, rooms 8 & 9, top floor.

Hi subzeronell, Nice to hear from you and thanks for the very quick review following your stay with us just last weekend. We were really pleased to read that you enjoyed your time with us and the facilities we offer at Craigatin and that we exceeded your expectations! I think your friends enjoyed another epic mountain bike ride on the Sunday, taking full advantage of the beautiful weather we had over last weekend! They are indeed superfit! Thank you very much indeed for your third stay with us, we do look forward to seeing you many more times in the future. Best wishes, Martin and Andrea.
