GRAHAM'S EXTRA INFO
“ One of Perthshire's best known hotels enjoys a central location within the Victorian town of Pitlochry, boasting two acres of spectacular, award-winning gardens and a putting green (none of which you will notice). (It won the Eddie Brown's tour hotel of the year for having the highest number of old people staying for more than five hours.)
“ As a holiday or business venue in Pitlochry, the hotel is ideally situated in the town centre, yet still benefits from private parking (which is always full and you will have to find somewhere else to park) and the tranquillity of its gardens and lawns. Pitlochry is the heart of Scotland and the scenery reflects this, with hills, lochs, rivers and glens attracting sightseers from around the world (Especially China). The main street in Pitlochry, whilst small, has an excellent array of fine boutiques and country shops. (All selling rubbish at ridiculous prices.)
“ The hotel features numerous lounges, a restaurant, a main lounge overlooking the gardens as well as the popular Kingfisher public bar. (Where the locals get absolutely wrecked.) There is a lift to the bedrooms in the main building but not to the garden-wing rooms. ”
