“A trip from Inverness to forget!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2010

On a trip from Inverness to Edinburgh we were stranded on the A9 just outside Dunkeld, no way forward in the snow.We turned back and found a room at the Royal. We were greeted at reception, and found the room comfortable and cosy! There was a power cut just before dinner so the bar looked fine in candel light. The bar meals kept on coming to the thirty people also stranded, the chef working by candel light. A very enjoyable experience. Many thanks to the proprietor for digging our car out of the snow in the car park and sending us on our way.

“Lovely 200 year old Coaching Inn Hotel.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2010

We have just returned from our November break in the Royal Dunkeld. We come here to chill and escape from the family. (All busy parents and grandparents will understand) The Hotel is warm and welcoming. Staff can not do enough to make sure you are well looked after. We do a bit of walking and the hotel is in a prime location of all local activities. A combination of walking and hotel hospitality makes for a great evening and fabulous sleep. The rooms are comfortable and in keeping with the style of the old Coaching inn. You have a choice of eating in the restaurant, bistro or bar. The menu is all local produce and we have never been disappointed.

“perfect day”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2010

My husband and i got married at this hotel. There was 15 of us that turned up the night before for a meal this was lovley and there was no pressure on us to leave the dinning room when we had finished our meal. The day was perfect thanks a lot to the management and staff, Nothing was to much trouble, the meal for 30 of us went perfect! no one could compliment the food enough ...the taste and presentation were great, all the meals came out at same time no one was left waiting and all the orders were perfect. The rooms we all stayed in were clean and fresh and had a lovley atmospher. we did not have it in mind to have our wedding here, we had just finished looking at another hotel but were not impressed with it so stopped at Dunkeld for a coffee and bite to eat...we liked the air and staffs freindly way so asked if they catered for weddings best stop we made....thankyou Jannet and Nigel. and staff.xx

“Good value for money, great food and ale!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2010

Stayed here for 2 nights for my Stag weekend with 8 friends. We were given rooms in the annexe which were better than expected. Nice and clean with comfy beds, cracking showers and soft towels!
Staff were really friendly and great fun, in particular the bar staff. Good choice of beers and very good food.
Also worth a mention was the jukebox with an excellent choice of music, and the pool room with tables at 50p per game!
Wouldn't hesitate to go back.

“Left us with a smile on our faces!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2010

We've been to Dunkeld many times. It's a very well-kept and attractive little town with some great wee eateries and a magnificant semi-ruin of a cathedral. As we wanted to explore some of the cycle paths around this part of Perthshire we decided to book at the Royal over the much more expensive and fussy Dunkeld House which is now owned by Hilton. It proved to be a great choice.
The interior is pretty traditional with tartan carpets, but our room, with three windows looking out on to the main street, was bright, fresh and well equipped with tea and coffee (avec tasty wee biscuits!). We also accessed the free wi-fi connection which, although not lightning fast, was perfectly adequate. All the staff we had to do with were not only friendly, they were accomodating and helpful. As veggies, we always worry about the p**s-poor offerings in hotel restaurants, but the mushroom ravioli on our first night was pretty tasty, and the chef made us a risotto for the next night. The food exceeded our expectations; not something we say often as vegetarians. The only slight disappointment was the breakfast when we weren't offered any veggie alternatives to the bacon, sausage etc which the meat eaters were all tucking into. We may bring our own mushrooms next time!

All in all this was a great choice in a hotel with bags of character. Recommended!
