Amazing setting, right on the river Tay. Even saw the whitewater rafting go past. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was perfect with all the facilities you need. Restaurant food was amazing, probably some of the best food I’ve eaten anywhere. Breakfast was perfect. Was perfect for our dog and staff very attentive with her. Definitely recommend this accommodation 😀👍

Friendly service

Staff were really accommodating, especially when friends came from hotel across road whos breakfast wasn’t to their taste and the inn on the tay sorted them out with a bacon roll, which was extremely kind. So well done for going above and beyond fir non residents.

This is on 3 miles off the beaten track but it's a world away from any stress. We booked as a stopover travelling from the Hebrides to home. The setting was tranquil and they made us immediately welcome. Dinner was superb and staff went out of their way to be helpful. The room was really comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was relaxed and there was a wide choice of freshly cooked options. If we're ever that way again, we will definitely book another night (ideally more).

Met the owner and he was very difficult to communicate with. He had had a bad day plus staff shortage. Staff were nice people. Property in need of lot of upgrading especially in the bathroom - antiquated. Food was good. Picturesque outside with the river Tay and the rapids by the hotel.
