Craigvrack is a great family owned & run hotel/bnb with ample parking, about an enjoyable 10 mins walk from center of the high street. Everyone who works here is wonderful. We arrived a little earlier than the standard check-in time, and Lakshmi offered us a coffee while he checked if our room was ready. He apologized that the heating in the room was on a timer and not yet on, however the room was perfectly warm. The room itself was clean and well appointed, overlooking the countryside, but a little small – however this is to be expected in old buildings that have been converted, and you swap a little convenience for the charm of not being in a cookie cutter chain hotel. Breakfast is excellent, with help yourself and cooked to order options that cater for a variety of dietary restrictions. Cidsin is an excellent Indian restaurant in the hotel that is very popular with locals as well as visitors, so it’s advisable to reserve a table. It’s not a standard british ‘curry house’, but serves a fusion of traditional Indian food updated with modern techniques and ingredients, with the emphasis on depth of flavours rather than spiciness or heat. The food and service is outstanding, hence it’s popularity. As previously mentioned the staff is outstanding, both friendly and helpful. We were attending a wedding in Blair Castle, about 15 mins drive away, and asked the owner, Chetan, if he could recommend a taxi company for us to use. He insisted on driving us there himself, which was incredibly kind. You just can’t go wrong with Craigvrack, and Chetan, Lakshmi, Aniket, and the rest of the staff will look after you wonderfully. Pitlochry is a pretty town & very walkable. We particularly enjoyed ‘The Auld Smiddy Inn’ pub. Blair Athol distillery which is Scotland's oldest is in the town & Edradour is in a neighbouring village (but currently closed to visitors). Plenty of hikes & walks nearby, including to the local dam with a salmon ladder.

Booked hotel for an overnight as I was taking my daughter to The Enchanted Forest..Hotel was immaculate very very clean, we had the ground floor twin room very spacious and very comfy beds with great pillows was very impressed..The restaurant and bar area was very nice and homely.. Breakfast was very good was all set out for you to chose and full English was very good and given a chose of how U wanted your eggs cooked. The staff very attentive, very helpful and very nice people..I wld highly recommend this hotel I will 100% be back🙂 Even my 7yr old granddaughter has asked me to tk her back🙂..

The lady on reception was very helpful and accommodating. The room was a good size with plenty of storage, TV, kettle, etc, bed was very comfortable and ensuite was clean and seemed to be recently refurbished. Breakfast (which included vegetarian and vegan option) was tasty and served quickly and the waiter in the morning was lovely and friendly. Great location for visiting Pitlochry and for walking local hills (e.g. Ben Vrackie).

Would have liked some decaf coffee or herbal tea options for the room - I probably could have asked but it wasn't a big problem. We didn't get to try the on-site Indian Restaurant (which has great reviews) as it wasn't open as it was Monday (off-season), but there are plenty of other places to eat not far away on Pitlochry High Street.

Having stayed here several times we knew the quality of the rooms . breakfast etc

I was very disappointed to be told on checking in that the bar was closed that night because they were "quiet" - I can understand the restaurant being closed because opening that means needing staff, but as there was a receptionist on duty, surely they could have managed to pour a beer or serve a g and t. Given that the hotel is a good mile to the town ( and up a steep hill on the way back) this put a bit of a dampener on our stay. After a long drive we had intended to spend a relaxing evening in the hotel bar. Obviously this didn't happen.

The property was very comfortable, warm, nicely appointed and very clean. Our bedroom was well furnished, warm and with a comfortable king size bed. The en-suite shower room was bright and spotlessly clean. We loved the layout of the Bistro Bar and dining room and the view which was the same from our bedroom window. The Indian food which we ate in the hotel was absolutely delicious! We loved it and the food was all equally as enjoyable on our second night. The full Scottish breakfast was excellent, and set us up for the day ahead!

We were delighted with everything, especially the beautifully mannered and polite, respectful staff, who were so obliging, helpful and kind. There was nothing we didn’t like, and we can’t wait to stay again - hopefully soon..

The hotel is in a good location not far from the main town only a short walk. The room was very comfortable cosy and warm. Good size en-suite with a large shower and plenty of hot water. Tea and coffee making facilities. Lovely Scottish breakfast. All staff are very pleasant friendly and helpful. There is a free car park at the back of the hotel. They have an excellent Urban Indian Bistro & Gin Bar called Cidsin. We had a delicious meal in their newly furnished restaurant. I highly recommend. Looking forward to visiting again.

Nothing everything was perfect

We couldn’t fault anything about this hotel and will definitely go again. It is immaculate, modern and tastefully decorated. All the staff are helpful and friendly, doing their best to ensure we enjoyed our stay. We had the full Scottish breakfast and it was perfect. Our meal in the Cidsin Indian bistro was absolutely delicious and staff took time to talk through the menu with us. The restuarant had a wide range of drinks and a variety of gins and mixers to match, and they were beautifully presented. The view from our bedroom was beautiful. Can imagine what it’s like to stay there in the summer! Photo attached

Not a thing

Staff were lovely, good location but up a hill and around 10+ minutes from the Main Street. Beautiful full Scottish breakfast but wasn’t the hottest so hot plates would be better to keep it hotter for longer. Room was spotless and room 314 had a lovely view.

Our room had a really squeaky floor and the water pressure in the morning was just a trickle compared to in the evening so that was very frustrating but after about 10 minutes it came back. Check in isn’t until 4pm and there’s no storage area for bags and we were advised we can leave them in the communal lounge area and it’s ok as there’s CCTV so we decided to keep bags in the car. Unfortunately we didn’t eat there as it was fully booked so book before you arrive as it gets good reviews. Bar closes early so you can’t have a drink before bed or after a long day so you need to stay down the Main Street.

Love this family run hotel. 2nd visit and it had the same high standards as before. Rooms are spacious and well decorated with new oak furniture. Amazing power shower which is a double. Breakfast which was included in price is delicious - full scottish/vegetatian also offered as was GF, but also omelette, porridge and you have cereals, fruit juice, yogurts ect. The bar has, lots of seating and has such a nice ambience about it. The bar manager is such a friendly happy guy. Now to the restaurant - authentic Indian cuisine. Absolutely beautiful, if staying book ahead as gets very busy. Locals also use it so just shows how popular it is. All in all book here for a really wonderful stay in Pitlochry, 10 min walk into the village and a large outdoor area for sitting on a dry day enjoying a nice vino/beer. Shout out to Abbie who served our meal and a big thank you to the owner who was so welcoming and the staff who again couldn't be more accomadating. We will be back. Thank you.

Absolutely nothing, place is perfect.

Hospitality service

Me and My Wife recently stayed at this Hotel and had a fantastic experience. The entire property was spotlessly clean, making for a comfortable and inviting environment. The staff were professional and attentive, ensuring all our needs were met promptly. The food was delicious, with a wide range of options that catered to every taste. We had dinner and breakfast at restaurant we enjoyed with food and service. Hellen And Abby was very professional server. I cant remember The name Of The Staff,who serve us breakfast they made our memorable ending. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a memorable stay. I can't wait to return!
