The hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The room over the bridge was spacious but noisy, while the quiet rooms were affected by some road noise in the mornings. The service was exceptional in the restaurant and bar, with a friendly and welcoming team. The dining experience was good but could be improved, and the facilities were decent overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room I was given wasn't worth the price, being noisy and open to common areas, but it had thoughtful amenities like convenient sockets. The wonderful service, including a sweet birthday surprise, and the ideal location by the river, made my stay memorable. The dining experience was decent despite some disturbances. Overall, it was a stay with ups and downs.

6.8/10

The hotel offers a mix of positives and drawbacks. The rooms, while providing a view of the River Tay, have a tired feel to them. The service stands out with considerate and attentive staff, but the noise from the lobby may be bothersome. The central location in Dunkeld is a plus for exploring, although some noise may filter into the rooms. Dining by the river can be delightful, yet the breakfast timings could be more accommodating.
