Arrived at Fishers Hotel in the evening after travelling down through the Cairngorms for one nights stay. Nice location in the centre of Pitlochry. The girl on reception was friendly enough and booked dinner in the hotel for us. Going up to our room - 214 - in the lift, we were immediately struck by the threadbare carpets in the hotel and chipped paintwork almost everywhere. We opened the door to the room which was roomy enough with lovely views to the garden and hills beyond. However, it was the shabbiest room we have ever stayed in. The paintwork was chipped and there were marks on the walls. The bathroom was tiny with cracked tiles on the floor, shower fixture was loose and the toilet wasn't bolted down properly!! . If it hadn't been so late and also the fact that we were only staying one night, we would have refused the room. Dinner in the restaurant was ok with eager staff who were so keen they whipped your plates away while you were still eating the last mouthful! Breakfast next morning was ok-ish, but have had better presented food. I know we had not paid top price for this hotel, but for a 3* you do expect much better. We would not return to this hotel.

Excellent stay room facing gardens on ground floor. Room clean and ample as much hot water as needed . Beds very comfortable and room very quiet. Staff very friendly and pleasent. Breakfast excellent and plentifull. Loved pitlochery try fish shop at top of street lovely food tastes as good as it smells. Try mckays for a drink lots of locals there very friendly place will defintatly go back. Room and breakfast only £69.00, very good price for excellent service excellent food and excellent location.

Booked on half board basis for 2 nights - internet blurb stated all rooms with showers, welcome pack etc. On arrival the place had an ovewhelming smell of cooked lamb, looked shabby but staff ok. Directed to room 212 (mind carpets on the way, though, they are loose and rumpled). large room, good size, but again,shabby. NO shower - just a small bath with jaccuzzi that DIDNT work. The bathroom floor tiles had no grout and the basin was cracked. good sized bed, tho, which was clean and comfy. Dinner was an experience. The coach parties got preferential treatment - how come us mere mortals dont get to dine in the ballroom, which looked lovely, from what we saw from the doorway! ? the meal came promptly, no complaints about the staff, but the meat was dry and the veg looked like it had been sat under a heat lamp all night. the cheese and biscuits looked like they had suffered the same fate as the cheddar was sweating heavily! breakfast was good, but the self service was for coach parties only - the rest of us got asked what we would like and it was brought to us. no chance of over filing our plates there then! evening meal on following day was equally as dissapointing - we did toy with the idea of joining the huge queue at the chippy up the road, which smelt divine and was doing a roaring trade, but decided to stick with it and the results were no better than the night before. on the whole - a disappointing hotel, which was a pity because the area is lovely and we had a wonderful time. lots to do and see - friendly people - had a lovely lunchtime meal in the indian restaurant up the road..... wouldnt rush back to the Fishers tho......!!!

We booked in on August 9 2007, and we were asked to pay before we checked in, we were allocated Room 314, this was the most disgusting room we have ever stayed in. The wallpaper was hanging off the walls, the carpet had a threadbare hole with underlay showing, it was a hovel. we complained to reception and they apologised. Every other place was booked that night so there was no chance of changing. the full breakfast was ample, however, it tasted so awful we couldn`t eat it. the hotel at the back is filthy and I would love to check out the kitchens. When we left there was an envelope on reception and the hotel refunded £19.00 of our £69.00, Every carpet on all floor outside the lifts was threadbare, absolutely the most appauling hotel ever!!!!!! Don`t go!!!!! It`s a hovell!!!!be warned.!!!!
