Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provided reasonably adequate rooms for a short stay, but the food was unacceptable with very bland options and tiny portions. Some staff were slightly grumpy, and the noise from the swing doors was disturbing. However, the breakfast was plentiful and the location was nice and peaceful.
The hotel had some issues with the air quality in the rooms and noise disturbances during the night due to the generator. However, the rooms were comfortable, and the central location in Blairgowrie was lovely. The service had some shortcomings in communication and attention to detail, but the staff were friendly. The dining options were limited, starting late, but the comfort was great. The location in Blairgowrie offered a relaxing atmosphere despite maintenance issues. The facilities were adequate though some maintenance required.
The hotel is situated on the corridor leading to the swimming pool, where noise from other customers and children passing by can disrupt the relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are very noisy due to thin windows and proximity to a pub, with a creaking door in the hallway. However, there is a good number of power points available. Service could have been better with more staff to manage the big queues at the bar, but the existing staff were efficient, friendly, and hardworking. The location is perfect for early access to Glenshee but had noise issues requiring room changes. The dining experience was highlighted by a lack of choice but enjoyable otherwise. Facilities need improvement, though the hotel has been upgraded and offers spacious layouts. The price remains unclear in this case.
