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

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.

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.

Fonab Castle is in a beautiful setting. Easy access to other Perthshire towns and a short pleasant walk into Pitlochry . 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. Sandman restaurant closed so ate in 1892 restaurant which had good choice of food and beautifully presented. Breakfast was cooked to order which was lovely.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. 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.

Wonderful room and property. Spa staff and the transportation shuttle were excellent. I would have liked our restaurant experience to have been better as it was difficult to find someone to pay our tab at one point and I wasn’t able to get dish info on another occasion. Overall I’d stay at the spa again as it’s a beautiful property and is well kept.

Lovely location and views but the overall experience was quite average. The service throughout was slow, slightly chaotic and disappointing. The hotel bar struggled to serve a drink at 11pm and it lacked atmosphere. Breakfast time wasn’t great - we had been sitting for 20 mins before even a glass of water was produced. My scrambled eggs were grainy, odd textured and inedible. They did provide a dog bed and treats which was nice - but dogs are not allowed anywhere else in the hotel apart from the room which we weren’t aware of. We had a Woodland lodge room as we had a dog and it was ok, the bed comfy but perhaps a little outdated. We discussed our issues at checkout and they offered to have the manager chat to us but they were unavailable but promised a call. This did not happen. Definitely not a 5* hotel and didn’t live up to the price point.

The way in which the new Food and Beverage Manager is training his Brasserie staff who are all young outward going and passionate and perform their duties with the diligence that is scarce to find elsewhere in the hospitality industry in Scotland . The General Manager Mr Andrew Cook clearly oversees the running of the venue in a hands on and efficient manner and his attention to detail is evident .
