It was such a relaxing few days. The staff were so friendly. Accommodation was special and although this time we didnt have a view it didn't take away from the room itself. The food was delicious and the ample breakfasts were a treat. Easy walk into Pitlochry and Festival Theatre very close by.

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.

Lovely stay. Great views over Loch Faskally. We even saw a red squirrel. Lochview garden room was amazing. Tea, coffee, snacks and a fridge in the room. Sofa and chairs to relax in. Balcony overlooking the loch. Staff all helpful and professional. Door man ace! Spa peaceful and tranquil. Both dinner and breakfast were outstanding. Would recommend the experience.

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.

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. .
