I've given 3 stars for my room which was lovely with a fabulous view and the receptionist in the spa who was so lovely and friendly and remembered it was my birthday. The therapist who did was facial was lovely too and her facial up with the best I have had. I do feeI the spa is in need of modernisation
Breakfast, especially my first was very dissapoining second morning maybe a different chef. The cold offerings were very basic then I toasted my bread and it came out black, the waiter answered we can't change the settings, I wasn't impressed with the toaster or him! I asked for bacon, black pudding and tattle scones from the kitchen, they arrived on a small white plate which was far too small for them and had obviously been sitting around for a long time as were overcooked. My second morning item from the kitchen was much better as I ordered pancakes and bacon and both were fresh and served on a large warmed plate as one would expect.
I felt the waiting on staff in both the breakfast room and the bar at night were a mixed bag of very helpful and pleasant to dismissive and miserable.
I presume the large number of tradesmen using the hotel is probably a seasonal thing but it wasn't the best atmosphere being surrounded by then in the breakfast room and bar as it didn't lend itself to the ambience of the hotel that appears on your website.
Reception staff and cleaners were all very friendly and helpful and my stay was nice but not quite what I was expecting in quality at times.
Beautifully clean hotel. Stayed a few times and cleanliness standards are always kept very high. We had a heritage room this time - room was perfect but bathroom was pretty small. Large shower - but from shower glass to wall is the width of a bath mat so if you’re a rather large person you won’t fit. Breakfast was delicious although for a “Scottish” breakfast I would have expected Lorne sausage and sliced haggis. We had dinner in the bar area in the evening and although again, it was delicious there, wasn’t very much choice. We had the balmoral chicken which really wasn’t enough so a choice of extra veg would have been ideal. Overall a lovely stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. P.s. staff are wonderful ☺️
Beautiful large room with nice toiletries, a spectacular View of the loch, nice lounge area with open log fires, excellent breakfast……everything was perfect, the only downside was the restaurant prices are very expensive and £4 for a can of irn bru was a bit of a cheek…..but a nice weekend away. We will definitely be back.

Everything was perfect and the little extra touches that they did in our room made it evan more perfect. The scenery was out of this world and food was really nice as well. Would definately go back.
Overall very good and good value. Spa facilities might need an uplift but reasonable and great location.

Booked four nights, sadly on the second night, we discovered our laundry bag was missing. Next morning spoke to the receptionist and explained what had happened, considering the room had been tidied by house keeping, first time the day before. They would look into this!
After going to reception every day to find out what was happening, nobody has found it.
The room was certainly not cleaned very well, as there was an empty bottle of wine in the wardrobe from the previous occupancy.
This experience left a very sour taste, and quite frankly ruined our break away.
The bag has not been found.
Loved it. Basic but nice spa. The hotel breakfast was great, as was the dinner. The service in all parts of the hotel was excellent. We played squash, used the gym, spa, and games room. The only downside of the games room was that some bits for the games were missing but we had fun nonetheless. The bar had live music on the Friday night and the bar area had board games and chess tables. Beautiful views. Lovely room.
There were excellent choises for breakfast and the food was outstanding quality. The room was beautiful and really clean. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Room had been refurbished but hadn't replaced bed base or added vallance so base was peeling - otherwise funishings were very good. Room was noisy, could heear footsteps from room above and also muffled conversation.
Fabulous stay - scenery is unbeatable. Service from staff is first class. Food in the à la carte Restaraunt by far the highlight. Good breakfast selection and fresh eggs/porridge made to order. TV system was down, didn’t impact us because of the storm recently. The drive in and out to Pitlochry is like being in a James Bond film.
We had a dreadful experience at the Loch Rannoch Hotel. There was a power cut on our first evening; we had no lighting, heating, running water, toilet flushing and it was still not resolved the next morning. We had no hot food or drinks.
No one took charge. And then the hotel was shut down. We had to find alternative accommodation.
And ten days later, after receiving many reassurances, I am still waiting on a refund. Unhelpful staff and manager - repeatedly told someone will be in touch and they are not. Stock answer when I phone is to tell me to email!
Be wary when booking this hotel!
Spent the weekend here for my 60th birthday celebrations. Was fantastic! Staff were well mannered and made sure we had a wonderful stay. The food was prepared to a very high standard, hotel was very clean & the whole weekend was fantastic. Will definitely return.
Been here a few times.
Really love it
The rooms are great. Very big and well equipped.
Food in restaurant and at breakfast very good.
Overall good value.
View at front spectacular.
Snooker table great too - BYT CUES ARE CR4P!!
We loved our stay here, nice country hotel, fabulous food, great room but what really made it special was the staff and their excellent service. Every staff member is friendly, helpfull and polite. A real credit to the hotel.
Our 3 night stay was good , bit of a hiccup with the t.v in the first room but the staff was amazing to sort this out & move us quite quickly. The staff are very friendly, beautiful walks into the village, lovely little place called cornerstone, also staff are lovely & welcoming.
