Dunalastair Hotel Suites

Beautiful location and top renovated hotel! The staff was very friendly and helpful! Parking just outside the entrance on a small, cute square. Highly recommended!

Beautiful little town and lovely breakfast. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed for dinners. Staff were friendly and very helpful!

Arrived for a friends birthday Was quickly checked in and asked to pay. After paying we were told there is no restaurant available and possibly no bar due to hotel going into administration. Due to the location there is no other options around for food so we asked for a refund. This wasn’t possible. Thankfully after a lot of back and forth with the hotel, I was issued a refund.

Very nice to look at. Clean & comfortable, feel we should have been made aware of it being in administration. So we could have made decision whether to stay or not only 4 staff in total 1 waiter 1 cleaner 2 front of house. No bar is available anymore. Menu was very short.prices for food expensive considering how poor the quality was, hummus served with homemade bread ( bread was cheap sliced ) chicken supreme was overcooked served on tin sweetcorn and broccoli. Madeira sauce was cream & Madeira wine which was awful, homemade chips were cheap frozen chips. Burger & chips, brioche bun defrosted to order or stale take your pick. Frozen chips brown lettuce. Not edible & olives not fresh bill was £74.00 give or take, first time I’ve gone to bed hungry after 5.5hr drive.breakfast was available but for another £30 for 2 no thanks not after worst dinner you can imagine. On average we go away 15/20 times a year. This was worst food experience. Did tell receptionist but not interested as in administration no discount offered. Such a shame. Pictures on hotels.com show beautiful food but most facilities including good food not available

Hotel in una posizione lontana da tutto e da tutti ma era esattamente quello che stavamo cercando. Camera spaziosa e bagno enorme. Colazione ottima inclusa nel presso sia quella continentale che la full Scottish breakfast. Parcheggio disponibile davanti o nelle vicinanze della struttura. Non abbiamo provato il ristorante dell’hotel.

This is a really nice hotel. Public areas are bright and welcoming whilst the suite offered, Schiehallion, was spacious and comfortable. Staff were obliging and friendly and the experience overall with regards the accommodation was very positive. The experience in the restaurant was less impressive but not altogether negative. A modest uptick in experienced staff would assist some I sense. Would stay here again.

1st visit to Dunalistair with friends for their special wedding anniversary. Stopped off at Pitlochry on the way, realising it was still 25 minutes away. The hotel is a lovely old building with a beautiful church in the front. On entering the hotel , we were very impressed by the whole modern feel & lovely clean decor. The rooms are very modern with fresh, light decor & furnishings - our room was spacious too, with the most comfortable bed & pillows. Dinner & breakfast was included in our stay, the restaurant had excellent choices , especially for breakfast , with the service being so friendly & helpful. We also sat at the bar area , again comfortable area with really lovely attentive staff. All the staff are a credit to the hotel. Overall an excellent stay - there is not alot in the vicinity, so do not expect other pubs - there is a small cafe & 1 shop across the bridge , but we were more then happy to stay in the hotel.

The staff were lovely and helpful but feel they are rather stretched. The suite was lovely, clean, and had great views. Unfortunately there were no dining facilities as they had no chef. We were asked if we had received the email informing us but still haven't received it. We were able to have breakfast which was acceptable, but unfortunately, lacked that standard on the last day. We did enjoy our stay though.

Beautiful property, but total lack of character. The library has no books, games or a bar to speak of. It is a grey room with grey couches and terrible elevator music. As soon as you walk in, the only thing on your mind is “how can I excuse myself out of this room?” The restaurant serves decent meals, but they are overpriced and the dining room is perhaps the most boring room I have ever sat in. It’s really too bad because the property is located in an area of Scotland rich with history and folklore, yet all common areas of the hotel are hollow and void of life. Every piece of art on the wall looks like it was generated by first generation AI told to spit out variations of “monochrome overlapping geometric shapes” and “black blotches on white background”. Perhaps these are all petty criticisms, but the hotel is a disturbingly boring place to stay. If all you’re after is a clean room and nice smelling soap, this is your place! If you’re after a nice place to spend a weekend, look elsewhere!

This one left some mixed feelings I have to admit. Amazing and beautiful location, beautiful hotel building and area as well. Great food for each meal so huge compliments to the chef. Now the staff was a bit of an issue. Evidently the hotel was understaffed in the week after Christmas and it has really reflected on attitude of some of the staff. Some members were friendly and helpful, but some were to be honest the opposite of that. Really a function of understaffing I believe but when you position yourself as a 5-star hotel, you need to account for those things accordingly. As such, the service is not really commensurate with a 5-star hotel expectations (neither is the cost though, in fairness). Basically everything was great but the issues with some of the staff left a bit of a bitter aftertaste - hopefully this is sorted going forward. Huge thanks though to other members of the staff who were very friendly and helpful.

You are wise to be suspicious of reviews as some are fabricated. This one is not. We have the receipts and expenses to prove it. We were shown to a small room at the very end of the hotel with a view of a parking lot and adjacent building. Nothing of the "captivating views as standard" claimed in their brochure. The room had hair in the sink, stains on the carpet, crumbs and general disarray, and was well-worn. Not the calibre of a 5-Star hotel. We asked for second room, this one had been recently cleaned. Once in, we realized the carpet was wet with cleaning solution. The Desk Mgr slipped and almost fell in the room. We were told to wear slippers to avoid the wet. We asked for a third room. The hotel is virtually empty. This room was acceptable but by now, we were exasperated and tired. This process, full of confusion and missteps, had taken over 2 hours. We decided to leave the hotel the following morning and short-shift our two day booking. We wanted to go back to Glasgow and the Hilton where we had been treated royally. For dinner, the hotel offered us two glasses of wine as compensation for our inconvenience. The dinner was adequate but not what we expected of a celebrated chef. We discovered later that evening that they had no intention of refunding us for the second night. They intended to keep the full cost of the two-night booking despite our departure after one night. We disputed but they refused to relent. We wish you a better experience. Scotland is beautiful

Bathroom trash was full when we checked in. Contacted front desk, 2 hours later they still hadn’t changed it. Finally they did because of a loud reception confrontation. Next day, we left for 10 hours, and housekeeping never closed our room door after service so our belonging were unsecured. We went to check out at 6:30 am and told we couldn’t check out until 8:30am. The man at the front desk didn’t know how to check people out. (We left without a receipt, asked for one to be emailed… still haven’t received it.). The carpet in the hotel hall is a gray plaid. There are ups and downs steps in the hall to the lobby and exits. It is very easy to miss these steps as they blend in and unmarked. This property is 45 minute drive from Pitlochry, the road is very narrow and curvy. If you do choose to stay at Dunalastair realize you NEED TO BRING PROVISIONS. Only two hotel restaurants in the area… no pubs with TV’s if you want to watch any sports. Rudest front desk i have EVER dealt with. Have you ever wanted to smack off someone? Luckily, I stayed in control but in reality I close to losing my composure as he was deliberately being obtuse. I WISH WE HAD THIS INFORMATION TO HEED.

Der Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm. Wir hatten ein Zimmer für 3 Personen (Doppelbett Auszieh-Sofa). Die Betten waren bequem und das Bad war sauber. Lediglich der Teppichboden hatte ein paar Flecken. Das Hotel macht einen sehr modernen Eindruck. Das Personal war überaus freundlich, sowohl an der Rezeption, als auch beim Frühstück. Wir hatten eigentlich nur das kontinentale Frühstück gebucht, jedoch wäre auch ein warmes Frühstück inklusive gewesen.

Charged £100 when checking in. Not noted anywhere when booking. Couldn’t really understand what the staff were saying behind reception. From what I understood we were told no room service even though this was mentioned on the website. Breakfast included is poor which led us not to even bother. Apparently a 5* hotel. I’ve went to 3/4* that were way above the standard of this hotel. Dirt in places. Chip marks on the furnishings. Room needed a paint. In our last night, someone walked into our room and when they realised we were in there took off. Fire alarm went off 3 times for no reason. I honestly couldn’t with a clear conscience recommend this place to anyone. A waste of money and a real shame as the area is fantastic.

Shower drain blocked, 2 days, not even an apology. No cooked breakfast included, no prices on any food menus. On arrival we were told only booked for 1 person and had to pay extra £40. I would Not recommend this hotel although the Kinloch hotel just up the road was where we ate and the ambience was excellent, the staff told us they had heard a good few people complaining about the dunalister, I don't normally write reviews but I'm so unhappy about our experience I thought I would hopefully help someone avoid this place. We were meant to be celebrating our engagement but we've booked another hotel for tomorrow so we will try and put the dunalister behind us and pls remember it's not a cheap hotel, we were so disappointed. If your looking for a Scottish experience then the dunalister is Not it,

Staff were so helpful. Hotel is immaculate and in extremely pretty location. Cannot fault it in any way. Rooms excellent and the staff would help with anything. Will definitely return.

Excellent stay. The rooms are clean and bright. The bedding is very comfortable. We loved the service and food offerings at the restaurant.

Nice hotel clearly a 5 star a some point. The staff was great but the hotel really under staffed. The hotel was clean but the carpets were not. The staff told us the hotel was sold the day we arrived.

We have stayed at the Dunalastair a couple of times and really enjoyed each visit. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms very well appointed and clean. The lounge areas are great and we also liked the restaurant and the food. The hotel and area is also very quiet. Nice views of Schiehallion too! Recommended for sure.

very clean and comfortable rooms. looks new and fresh. Great staff, fantastic food. Lovely local walks

Booked a night away with my husband. First, no remote for the TV, we eventually got one. Rooms are supposedly soundproof, not when you're placed in a room with an adjoining room, separated by a door. We could hear full conversation frrom the guests in the adjoining room. Reception upgraded us to another room. The new room, had no TV remote, turns out they had removed the remote to put in our first room. Drinks are expensive, view is not as described, food was mediocre. Breakfast was sparse. Staff were pleasant enough. I didnt know it was in administration when i booked, it definitely shows. Also, a deposit of £100 requested upon arrival, no mention of this on booking or hotel website. Not a 5 star hotel.

Nice room. Suite with two bedrooms. Comfy beds. Only one room had a window (small and up high). Parking limited. Breakfast you will have to pay even for continental (no indication from staff or the menu that the continental breakfast wasn’t included in the room price). Hot portion you were informed of pricing before you ordered.

Lovely hotel but not a 5 star, food was well below par and had to send a meal back, waited forever to get another, just as bad. Witnessed a number of dishes going back, service slow and bar not very well stocked. The room had a dodgy shower and we had to turn off the fridge as it was too noisy. Wanted a credit card deposit on arrival for food and took a photo of ID "strange" staff nice enough but need a lot of training.

Just make sure when you check in you have enough money for deposit. I have had 4 nights, I needed £400 deposit. Just bare in mind - £100 deposit per night. Internet went off on our last day that was due to bad weather. TV didn't work. Otherwise, everything's excellent. Nice people. Locals were amazing. Refreshing.

Beautiful hotel in tranquil and peaceful location. Staff all very welcoming and accommodating. Last minute trip away and stay in lovely deluxe suite. Dinner in the hotel was amazing, very reasonably priced. Comfortable sleep followed by a full Scottish breakfast. Manager checked us out and was very friendly and hospitable and would definitely stay again.

Fantastic visit. Junior suite was lovely. Fantastic view of Schiehallion from the window. Staff were dead nice and helpful. Thoroughly recommend.

We stayed here for one night and had a second floor loft suite. The room was clean and modern and nicely decorated. We especially loved the fresh shortbread cookies and the fresh milk and the fridge for our coffee in the morning. The bathroom was clean and also modern. The building itself is beautiful and the location was nice and close to a local walking trail that we took that went from the dam all the way up to the Falls. The breakfast staff were extremely attentive and we had the hot breakfast which was delicious.

Check-in took a while. Bed was described as king-size when booking, but it was actually a queen-size, which was disappointing.

Beautiful location and top renovated hotel! The staff was very friendly and helpful! Parking just outside the entrance on a small, cute square. Highly recommended!

The team at Dunalastair was attentive, always asking what they could do for us to make our stay even better. The manager has created a friendly and welcoming atmosphere in a fabulous surrounding.

This visit was unique. Beautiful modern hotel that is incredibly under staffed. Restaurant was good, but again, under staffed. I think there is/was an ownership transfer recently. Additionally, it is not in Pitlochry. It is 20-30 minutes west. Beautiful area! Small town on the loch with trails, a bridge and a cool waterfall. Over, a good visit.

We loved staying at this hotel! It was so inviting, tastefully decorated, and helpful staff. We especially enjoyed the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. Our waiter was exceptional as was the food! The young lady at the front desk helped us with tips for sights around the village! We would stay here again without hesitation.

Really good experience as we used Dunalastair Suites Hotel as our base for explorations around Kinloch Rannoch. Staff members were friendly and very helpful when we had a minor issue including Nicola on Reception who also draws maps to supplement Google and Eugene who was pleasantly engaging and efficient in the bar and on busy breakfast duties. Incidentally the breakfasts were lovely but we self-catered in the suite and ate out locally for dinners. Really good stay and we wish the team well as new owners anticipated end of June 2025.

The staff were lovely and helpful but feel they are rather stretched. The suite was lovely, clean, and had great views. Unfortunately there were no dining facilities as they had no chef. We were asked if we had received the email informing us but still haven't received it. We were able to have breakfast which was acceptable, but unfortunately, lacked that standard on the last day.

Beautiful hotel. Stunning location. Great for nature, peace and quiet but there are no pubs or shops etc in the area so bring a good book and a board game!

Great location in cute little village

Just beautiful! Nice quiet location not too far from Pitlochry

This property is a gem! We would not think one would find such a place in the midst of fields, meadows and lochs. It is very quiet and peaceful so if the quest is to find shops and adventure, this is not your place. The staff was excellent and went the extra mile to ensure that we were comfortable.

Great restaurant and a quick walk away from trails.

Quiet, peaceful and beautiful, with great hiking trails

I stayed at this hotel 20 years ago and then again this weekend, the interior has had a complete makeover/upgrade and the rooms are amazing for the price and would recommend for anyone looking to get away from it all for a couple of nights. A but remote with nothing much in the village itself but you are only 20/30 mins away from Pitlochry.

Beautiful little town and lovely breakfast. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed for dinners. Staff were friendly and very helpful!

Easy check-in, friendly staff and the food was amazing. There was no A/C but the window did open. The restaurant staff was a pure delight.

Manager said continental breakfast included. Next morning, while dining, she rudely tried to collect 8.95 lbs from each of us. We had yogurt and coffee, then left.
