Dundarach Hotel, Pitlochry

Advantages: Excellent location with beautiful views over the loch
Disadvantages: Food and drink is very expensive

.... The village of Kinloch Rannoch is around 20 miles outside of the small town of Pitlochry and the City of Perth is about 45 miles away. Kinloch Rannoch really is in the middle of nowhere so as you can imagine the road to get there is very long, narrow and winding so you need to take your time. However, the scenery is beautiful so you will want to take your time anyway! >>>>The Hotel<<<< The hotel is a 19th century former shooting lodge and is cream in colour with lots of character. When we first went inside my first thoughts were that the décor was a bit old fashioned, but this did not put me off. However I think it would be a whole lot nicer if it was tidied up a bit and given a fresh lick of paint in certain places. For example in a couple of parts of the hotel the carpet looked a bit worn and the paintwork was peeling. We found... Read review

Advantages: An Amazing Inn
Disadvantages: A little off the normal tourist track

...Picture a bleak February day in the Highlands. Snow capped mountains, a wind sharp enough to cut granite, and the only signs of life sheep huddling behind stone walls and checking their thermometers. We had driven over from near Dundee, through Blairgowrie and over the mountain to Pitlochry via Strathardle, but as we descended off the moor by pure chance, we spotted the Moulins Inn, about a mile out of the town centre. Lunchtime and frostbite and impulse made us stop. A roaring peat fire, a great welcome from those present and a meal to die for, accompanied by a modest number of pints of Old Redemption - a beer brewed in the micro brewery behind the Inn and unavailable anywhere else. The Moulins made a lasting impression on four very weary travellers and we have returned many times since, in both summer and winter. If you are going... Read review

Advantages: Close to the Quayside and the price
Disadvantages: No view from cheap rooms & a slight smell of smoke

...My sister and I stayed at the Central Newcastle Travelodge early this April. She was visiting me from Canada and we decided to take a trip of cities in England we'd never been to - Newcastle happened to be one of them. As I knew long enough in advance that we wanted to take a trip I was able to book well in advance and take advantage of the Supersaver rooms available on the Travelodge website if you book at least 21 days in advance. We paid just £10 for a family room, compare that with the £12 I recently paid for a lower bunk in a dormitory-style room with 6 people in Pitlochry and you start to understand what a bargain this is. If you've ever stayed in a Travelodge you know exactly what to expect. A basic room with a comfy enough bed, a TV with terristrial channels and Pay Movie options, a nice clean bathroom with a powerful... Read review
