Beautiful location and grounds! The bar and restaurant are also lovely for views, service and quality of food. Hiwever, the rooms (loch-view room) are in need of modernisation with small cracked bathrooms, and more accurately, views of the dam rather than the loch from the room (loch views are available from the balcony though!)
Although the spa is nice, it seemed that the thermal suite and steam room weren’t on while we were there.
For the price (close to £500 per night) we expected better.

Only stayed for one evening but had a lovely stay nonetheless. The hotel is situated a short walk from Pitlochry dam and the town itself so a great location to stay. Must say our room did seem a tad tired and nothing had changed since three years ago when we stayed. Overall slightly overpriced I feel but would stay again

The property is situated on the banks of a loch and it is tranquil and beautiful. The service is what has set this place apart from others. Truly a high level of service. This was a great stay and I will definitely be back!

Fonab Castle is a very special stay, from its lovely grounds, comfortable rooms and excellent lunch and dinner offerings.
We were taken on a short tour of the building as we arrived before check in, and this was a special treat. Our friend was in the garden accommodation, and we were in the castle, so we were able to see both options. As expected, both are excellent.
The bathroom was lovely, with large towels.
We had lunch, dinner and breakfast at Fonab. The lunch and dinner were excellent. However, part of the breakfast was disappointing. The cooked meals were very good, but the tower of three choices could have been better. The pastries were ordinary and there were no spoons for the yoghurt which was served in elegant slender glasses.
We would love to stay at Fonab again.

Beautiful setting. It rained a good portion of the day we were there so the experience would have Belen better but for the rain. Also not able to explore the surrounding areas of the castle due to rain.

Absolutely amazing. Concierge Davie gave us a grand tour with huge Scottish flare. Beautiful views of the river with very clean grounds and rooms. Definitely our favorite stay on our 12 day honeymoon journey. Everything is pricey here but well worth the experience for this level of quality.

Stayed for 3 nights in February. The castle and the Woodland Suites (where we stayed) were stunning.
The staff were incredible and nothing was a hassle. Mark welcomed us immediately and gave us a very helpful tour of the property. EV charging was free to use - which is becoming increasingly rare even amongst 5* hotels.
Breakfast was hearty, tasty and the service perfect.
Dinner was equally great. Despite Pitlochry having options to choose from, you’re really in the best spot at Fonab and do not need to leave at all.
I am loathed to criticise any part of our stay, but if I were being super critical, the spa facilities were a little tired. Though that said, there was some external refurbishment being conducted, so perhaps that is shortly extending to the interior?
We were not staying to take advantage of the spa, so it didn’t bother us too much.
Overall a fantastic stay.

The staff are fantastic and make you feel very welcome.Concierge go above and beyond in helping anyway they can and it was much appreciated.

Hopefully next time we can stay for longer.

Lovely relaxing stay. Excellent staff always willing to help. Concierges were especially helpful and proactive. Breakfast was very good. Unfortunately the shower in our room was faulty and could not be fixed and although we were offered another room the length of our stay didn't warrant that. Bit disappointing for an otherwise very good hotel.
