What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Great wee place to enjoy food and drinks. On this occasion when visiting it was for New Year Day celebrations. Live music, warm and friendly atmosphere. Dog friendly and children also welcome. Pool room with a dart board also available.”
“Best hotel experience I've ever had to be honest. We made the mistake of going out for the night for food and drinks in Perth and making our way to dunning afterwards, wish we'd just headed straight to dunning. We could have had black pudding croquettes and spent even longer in the excellent pub downstairs. If you're a tourist and you want to know what a proper Scottish pub is like, this is it. locals talking about each other's families, playful banter. Feels like it's the center of the community in a way you don't get so much anymore with the rise of bar culture over pub culture. Sat with the landlord and his wife when the bar was closed and it was an absolutely perfect evening. We're coming back.”
“What a lovely Hotel. Felt like home away from home. Food was lovely, best Haggis Friendly and Hospitality of high regard. Larry is the best Host. Made us feel very welcome Definitely recommend to stay over.”
“Very pleasant two night stay. The pub served good food at reasonable prices, the rooms were clean and staff were friendly and helpful. We would have liked a more comfortable mattress. It is an old, creaky building, with some nice original features. We found that the Wi-Fi was very weak. Breakfast was fantastic. Thank you.”
