Fantastic Castle retreat

Another great stay, it's always a pleasure to return to this beautiful Castle. Staff members are fantastic,, so welcoming (concierge), informative and always on hand if you require help or information. Dining experience was fantastic as always and again the hospitality team are a credit to the Hotel. The spa facilities are fab, nothing beats a wee glass of fizz in the outdoor hot tub. We will be returning again this year as it's such a great wee treat before the Christmas madness.

Disappointing visit to Fonab

I was given a voucher for my 30th birthday to enjoy a night b&b at fonab. I had such high expectations but unfortunately i was disappointed from the offset. Checked in at reception was not given our welcome drink. We were taken up to our room by the lovely concierge Mike who was very helpful during our stay. We had a Castle Room in the main building, it was in much need of a freshen up and the bathroom wasn’t much better stains on the shelving under the sink and the floor tiles were tatty. We then visited the spa all facilities were great but the changing rooms were again not what I expect from a 5* hotel. No hot water for the showers (we were not told this on arrival) foul smell in shower cubicle. I went to use the toilets none of them had any toilet roll and i wont go into detail but one of them needed a deep clean. This again is not 5* standard and tells me these changing rooms are not being checked throughout the day. I received a call from the Manager whilst me and my partner were out for a meal we were offered a free dinner at the hotel restaurant as a gesture for the experience we had so far. Unfortunately we had already ordered food, she then said when we cane back we could get another room. The new room was one of the lodges overlooking the river it was lovely and bug much more to the standard i would expect at Fonab and a complimentary bottle of prosecco and cheese board wholich was a lovely touch. We then opted to have our breakfast in the room the next morning as we wanted to enjoy what time we had left as we were only there for 1 night. On check out we had to pay the £10 room service charge for breakfast to the room which i feel given the experience we had had it should have been voided but by that point I couldn’t be bothered to ask. I would like to end this review on a positive. All staff we encountered on our stay were lovely and helpful and the main areas of Fonab are decorated to a high standard as are the Lodges perhaps we were just unlucky.

The communication from the hotel is terrible.

I had a voucher.
Despite having medical evidence to show I had a fall which incapacitated me for 5 months, the hotel would not extend my cut off date.
I made 7 phone calls, two emails to Joanna Whysal, general manager over a period of three weeks.
No one replied, until eventually I had a curt call saying no.
Of the meal itself:
My wifes starter: game terrine was fridge cold.
My starter: crab raviolli was cold - sent back.
Overall, not an experience I shall repeat.

Good, without being exceptional

I find it difficult to review this hotel.
Number one, the grounds is absolutely beautiful. The view from the bar and restaurant is stunning, and I really enjoyed the walk into Pitlochry.
My room was very nice and clean. However, the promised turn-down service did not eventuate.
A couple arrived after me to be told their room was not yet ready (around 5pm) which I would have been very unhappy about.
The food was lovely, both at breakfast and dinner, although the restaurant lacked any ambience. Dinner, although delicious, was definitely on the expensive side.
While I enjoyed the hotel, and would return, I felt that the price was not justified for the service etc received.
