Beautiful property, but total lack of character. The library has no books, games or a bar to speak of. It is a grey room with grey couches and terrible elevator music. As soon as you walk in, the only thing on your mind is “how can I excuse myself out of this room?” The restaurant serves decent meals, but they are overpriced and the dining room is perhaps the most boring room I have ever sat in. It’s really too bad because the property is located in an area of Scotland rich with history and folklore, yet all common areas of the hotel are hollow and void of life. Every piece of art on the wall looks like it was generated by first generation AI told to spit out variations of “monochrome overlapping geometric shapes” and “black blotches on white background”. Perhaps these are all petty criticisms, but the hotel is a disturbingly boring place to stay. If all you’re after is a clean room and nice smelling soap, this is your place! If you’re after a nice place to spend a weekend, look elsewhere!

Room was superb, staff excellent, in all an excellent hotel, quiet and relaxing

Lovely hotel but not a 5 star, food was well below par and had to send a meal back, waited forever to get another, just as bad. Witnessed a number of dishes going back, service slow and bar not very well stocked. The room had a dodgy shower and we had to turn off the fridge as it was too noisy. Wanted a credit card deposit on arrival for food and took a photo of ID "strange" staff nice enough but need a lot of training.

A fantastic gidden gem of a hotel, everything about the Dunalistair is fantastic. The hotel was completely refurbished 7-8yrs ago yet looks like it was done last month. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We are already planning a second visit!

This property is a gem! We would not think one would find such a place in the midst of fields, meadows and lochs. It is very quiet and peaceful so if the quest is to find shops and adventure, this is not your place. The staff was excellent and went the extra mile to ensure that we were comfortable.

Beautiful hotel. Stunning location. Great for nature, peace and quiet but there are no pubs or shops etc in the area so bring a good book and a board game!

Quality food options, lovely spacious loft room, good location.

Amazing hotel stay, so relaxing, great staff

Wonderful hotel. Staff are superb and the dining room great

Great stay in retreats .. would only stay in retreat or main house

Lovely hotel in a beautiful location.

We stayed here for one night and had a second floor loft suite. The room was clean and modern and nicely decorated. We especially loved the fresh shortbread cookies and the fresh milk and the fridge for our coffee in the morning. The bathroom was clean and also modern. The building itself is beautiful and the location was nice and close to a local walking trail that we took that went from the dam all the way up to the Falls. The breakfast staff were extremely attentive and we had the hot breakfast which was delicious.

Gorgeous property. Very posh and unexpected. Beautiful small town. Would highly recommend. Fantastic bed!

We have stayed at the Dunalastair a couple of times and really enjoyed each visit. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms very well appointed and clean. The lounge areas are great and we also liked the restaurant and the food. The hotel and area is also very quiet. Nice views of Schiehallion too! Recommended for sure.

You are wise to be suspicious of reviews as some are fabricated. This one is not. We have the receipts and expenses to prove it. We were shown to a small room at the very end of the hotel with a view of a parking lot and adjacent building. Nothing of the "captivating views as standard" claimed in their brochure. The room had hair in the sink, stains on the carpet, crumbs and general disarray, and was well-worn. Not the calibre of a 5-Star hotel. We asked for second room, this one had been recently cleaned. Once in, we realized the carpet was wet with cleaning solution. The Desk Mgr slipped and almost fell in the room. We were told to wear slippers to avoid the wet. We asked for a third room. The hotel is virtually empty. This room was acceptable but by now, we were exasperated and tired. This process, full of confusion and missteps, had taken over 2 hours. We decided to leave the hotel the following morning and short-shift our two day booking. We wanted to go back to Glasgow and the Hilton where we had been treated royally. For dinner, the hotel offered us two glasses of wine as compensation for our inconvenience. The dinner was adequate but not what we expected of a celebrated chef. We discovered later that evening that they had no intention of refunding us for the second night. They intended to keep the full cost of the two-night booking despite our departure after one night. We disputed but they refused to relent. We wish you a better experience. Scotland is beautiful

The room was very comfortable. The staff were very good and friendly and service 💯 Overall, a great experience for a weekend.

Excellent

we loved our stay here and would definitely go back. beautiful surrounding, gorgeous building and the food in the restaurant was lovely.

Beautiful location. Helpful staff.

Great restaurant and a quick walk away from trails.

Not the best start to our vacation, arrived early told room wouldn’t be ready till 4pm no exceptions, travelled from Canada so had to sit in the car and sleep. When we went back in to check in 3 members of staff greeted us not very welcoming, Paid for breakfast, there was only scraps left the last morning and only 8.30, ended up only having toast yes 19.00 for toast. had to book for breakfast even though hardly one in the restaurant. tv no channels seems like they pay more attention to details on hotel presentation rather than customers, we will not be going back

Just beautiful! Nice quiet location not too far from Pitlochry

Fantastic visit. Junior suite was lovely. Fantastic view of Schiehallion from the window. Staff were dead nice and helpful. Thoroughly recommend.

Excellent stay. The rooms are clean and bright. The bedding is very comfortable. We loved the service and food offerings at the restaurant.

Exclusive enviroment all was quiet

Nice room. Suite with two bedrooms. Comfy beds. Only one room had a window (small and up high). Parking limited. Breakfast you will have to pay even for continental (no indication from staff or the menu that the continental breakfast wasn’t included in the room price). Hot portion you were informed of pricing before you ordered.

I stayed at this hotel 20 years ago and then again this weekend, the interior has had a complete makeover/upgrade and the rooms are amazing for the price and would recommend for anyone looking to get away from it all for a couple of nights. A but remote with nothing much in the village itself but you are only 20/30 mins away from Pitlochry.

very clean and comfortable rooms. looks new and fresh. Great staff, fantastic food. Lovely local walks

Great staff!

Excellent all round!

Bathroom trash was full when we checked in. Contacted front desk, 2 hours later they still hadn’t changed it. Finally they did because of a loud reception confrontation. Next day, we left for 10 hours, and housekeeping never closed our room door after service so our belonging were unsecured. We went to check out at 6:30 am and told we couldn’t check out until 8:30am. The man at the front desk didn’t know how to check people out. (We left without a receipt, asked for one to be emailed… still haven’t received it.). The carpet in the hotel hall is a gray plaid. There are ups and downs steps in the hall to the lobby and exits. It is very easy to miss these steps as they blend in and unmarked. This property is 45 minute drive from Pitlochry, the road is very narrow and curvy. If you do choose to stay at Dunalastair realize you NEED TO BRING PROVISIONS. Only two hotel restaurants in the area… no pubs with TV’s if you want to watch any sports. Rudest front desk i have EVER dealt with. Have you ever wanted to smack off someone? Luckily, I stayed in control but in reality I close to losing my composure as he was deliberately being obtuse. I WISH WE HAD THIS INFORMATION TO HEED.

The hotel is in an old building that was renovated and very modern and comfortable inside. The staff was friendly and helpful when we ask for assistance. The Kinloch Rannoch is a beautiful area.
