Overall a really great stay. Food, staff, surrounding areas were excellent but the room was very tired and underwhelming for a suite. Not worth the money and we wouldn't return, to the same suite anyway.

An amazing couple of nights at Fonab Castle. The staff were outstanding - so attentive and kind. Staff are a real asset and made our stay all the more enjoyable. We enjoyed using the spa facilities. Breakfast was delicious. Dined in the restaurant which was fantastic. Fab chat with the concierges when coming and going; and they were always on hand to help. They made my two children feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.

Fantastic room in the castle . Bar area in the evening lacked ambience. Given poor table for 65th birthday celebration at dinner but this was changed. I don’t think 4 mouthfuls of duck terrine starter is worth £18 although it was tasty. .

Nice room and spa facilities although quite small so would not be ideal if busier. The easy walk into Pitlochry was very convenient. I would rate this hotel 5* as a lot of the little touches I would expect were missing. The service was lacking vs other 5* hotels.

All staff were friendly, professional and genuinely lovely. Gorgeous spa. Food was really tasty and good choice. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a superior woodland lodge, which was really lovely. Walked around Koch faskally and into Pitlochry which was a lovely. Overall wonderful place to celebrate our anniversary and hopefully we will be lucky enough to visit again x

The staff were very friendly and professional. The room was very nice. One thing that did stand out unfortunately was the temperature in the dining area. It was very very cold when we were having our meal. Although I didn’t sit with my coat on there were some other guests that did

Had a fantastic 2 night stay for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Our lodge was lovely, a bit tired but spotlessly clean with stunning views overlooking the Loch. The staff were all very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. On arrival we were greeted by Arthur the Concierge, he was so lovely, helpful & extremely knowledgeable about the Castle and surrounding areas. His colleague Mike was also lovely & very helpful. The reception staff were equally lovely and we were welcomed with a very nice wee dram of whiskey which went down well. The food in the restaurant was delicious, we didn’t have one complaint. We used the Spa facilities and the staff there were also first class just a shame the cleanliness in the showers and spa bath weren’t.

The whole stay was fantastic! The staff are ALL so welcoming and friendly, the atmosphere when you walk in is warm. The breakfast was great plenty to choose from as well. The concierges are more than accommodating, the scenery and setting phenomenal. It was peaceful, the bar lounge is comfortable and a gorgeous view - even when it is raining! Bedroom so comfortable and a proper size television in the room too! Tea and coffee amenities and robe and slippers and an umbrella. We will definitely he back sooner rather than later
