We loved Pitlochry and McKay's and the spaciousness of the cottage. I will say it was very loud at night with people going by and cars and house is very loud when anyone moves around. Ear plugs definitely needed for a good night's sleep.

The room was updated and clean. The bed was comfortable. We ate in the restaurant and the food and atmosphere were excellent. We were worried that the live music might be a problem when we were ready to sleep. It wasn’t- we could not heard the bar at all. However, all night a compressor or fan would come on intermittently for about 30 seconds to a minute each time. The longer it lasted the higher pitched it became. The unit was on the roof of the kitchen which was outside our (and other rooms) windows. Very annoying and difficult to sleep. Too bad because we really liked the place otherwise.

Never again

Not as expected attick room which was at the end of what could only be described as a Rabbit warren. A new concept to me is they do not make up the room unless you ask no hot water or heating on second night Staff on the bar were very good not so sure about reception. Would not stay again.
