Hello, Sorry we didn't quite meet your expectations with regards to your recent holiday here. It is very rare that our food falls short of what our customers expect....I have just looked back at comment card analysis from the week you were here and found that the vast majority of customers gave us excellent and good scores with just two...

We stayed here as part of a Sports Tour package for the Etape Caledonia. It looks as if the hotel is being decorated from the ground up-the lounge/bar/dining room was lovely with a good atmosphere, however our room was from the 1970's! In saying that, it was spacious, had everything we required and had a comfy bed, but it was... More

Hello there and thanks for posing a review. There is no question that the Etape Caledonia has become a unique weekend for us. Two years ago we had half a dozen cyclists, then last year about thirty and this year at least eighty or so....... I think we, as a team, have adapted well in order to cater for everyone... More

Posted by Mrs Bronxglenn. I recently took my mother and sister for a weekend as it was my mothers 90 birthday. Delighted with our rooms, the service and the food was just excellent.

We have just returned from staying at the Hydro for four nights in a Superior room. I didn't see what the standard rooms were like so I can't really compare, however, our room, although past it's best, was large, comfortable and had fantastice views and it had a nice feel about it. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty... More

Just back from an enjoyable weekend at the hotel. Enjoyed the swimming pool and spa. Rooms were clean and spacious. There was a good selection for breakfast each morning. Hotel is just a short walk to centre of Pitlochry. Would book again.

My wife and I booked this as a late deal with Shearings. This would be our fourth and most southerly trip to Scotland in the past five months. We were far from disappointed.

Stayed 3 nights at Easter with my elderly mother in ground floor accessible, spacious room. However, we requested a room with shower only, but had to use nearby wet room that doubled as changing room for leisure centre and also as public disabled toilet. Not ideal, but if we had been advised of this we would have been more prepared!... More

Hi, thanks for your post. I'm afraid the Hotel only has stand up shower units in the premier rooms and all others have showers over baths. I appreciate your scenario was not ideal but it does allow for disabled customers to bathe safely which is our priority. The Hotel is constantly looking at the best way to upgrade the Hotel... More
