Had an overall good stay at hotel with my one year old son. Just a beautiful location on the map and our favourite place to visit, Dunkeld. We were in the Annex which is just, well, one room and toilet/electric shower. My opinion would be a slight bit work needing done more to the decorative side of things. Staff were nice for basically 30seconds but that’s all I had to deal with them to be fair, but very nice overall.

Overpriced and grotty. Beware of legionnaires!!
Overpriced for a room that barely could fit in a double bed. TV swamped the room. Paint peeling off walls and window frames, with black mould on them. Bathroom the size of a wardrobe in which you had to be a contortionist to use the toilet if you were taller than a midget. Luke warm (maybe 22-23C) “hot” water for a shower the next morning. At that temperature the water system will be prone to legionnaires disease. No one at reception to complain to. We had booked breakfast with them, but if the chefs had no hot water to wash their hands, what would the kitchen cleanliness be like? We cancelled breakfast with them and had a lovely breakfast at May’s cafe down the road. Avoid. Camp under the bridge over the river instead.

Served a purpose but hotel needing upgrade
We were in the Annexe which we hadn’t realised despite it saying in the email confirmation. This likened a chalet/scouts hut and was very compact but comfortable. The general hotel is needing an upgrade but for attending a local wedding it served a purpose. Toilet locks in main bar/restaurant are very patchy and things are just needing replaced. Breakfast was good but the guy running breakfast was under pressure. All in all it was functional but wouldn’t recommend for a tourism stay.

The accommodation I thought I booked was for two twin rooms in the hotel, but what got was two very small twin rooms in chalets out the back. The chalets looked like large shed which had been thrown up and the area surrounding the building was pretty grubby, with weeds all round, water dripping from the gutters, the windows weren’t very clean, the paving surface area into the respective rooms was very poor. Cracked, broken surface, just basically not very nice or inviting. The food and service in the hotel was good, but at breakfast time there was no hot water in the urn to make tea or coffee. The urn was on but no water coming out as it had run down so low and obviously hadn’t been filled up, either first thing or the previous evening.

Royal? Not so much
Beadspread covered in dog hair. Only one small light working in the bathroom. No hot water for the whole hotel for our first night there. Noisy road outside, no double glazing in room, so very restless night. Carpets throughout hotel looking very tired and tatty. Not sufficient parking on premises. Really can't recommend this hotel, especially considering the rate per night.

Nice staff in an amazing location but place is a dump, urgently in need of major investment and renovation. Not clean, not enough staff. Allegedly dog friendly, breakfast was a disaster hardly any staff having to do everything, nothing set up for having breakfast in bar with dogs. Will not be back.

Strongly recommend avoiding this place
Room was nothing like advertised. Got put in a ‘shed like’ room out the back of the car park. Pathway to the room was dark and wet with other cabins bathroom pipes leaking across the floors. The Room was dirty with a horrible old style carpet throughout. Upon pushing the 2 single beds together we uncovered wrappers, toenails and rubbish all over the floor. The hot water lasted about 5 minutes and the first night we stayed we had guests in their bar garden shouting and screaming until about 1am without staff caring at all. The same guests banged on our bedroom windows and doors before heading to bed. Breakfast was quite poor and on both mornings we were served with dirty bowls and cups to start with. Followed by incorrect orders then appearing of which we just ate because we had given up by that point. All of the above was mentioned to staff after the first morning, but was met with no surprise and not even apologies. Walking round the town and mentioning to locals where we were staying was met with a look of sympathy for us and even got referred to as the ‘unfortunate ones’, alluding to the fairly obvious bad reputation the place has around town. Avoid at all costs!

The property is centered in town so ww could walk around - charming town. The staff in the pub was very nice. The food was fine. The rooms were not very clean - there was a dirty plate with dried food left on top of the cabinet in our room.
