“This historic inn, dating back to 1760, offers a step back in time with modern comforts. I appreciate the blend of traditional charm and community engagement, particularly the weekly music sessions and locally sourced dining. While exploring the surrounding Perthshire countryside may require a bit of planning due to limited local transport, the experience of staying in this family-run, pet-friendly establishment is one of true Scottish hospitality.”

the room was clean and spacious. the staff was friendly enough.
i asked for a double room, but it seemed more like they gave me the single masquerading as a double. the tv was small, and i think my phone screen might be bigger. the shower had fluctuating temperatures, so i did not have a relaxing time.
