Westlands of Pitlochry

Everything has been eccellent: support of the staff, location, rooms and breakfast.

We stayed 2 nights at Westlands in September to catch 3 performances at the Festival Theatre. But note that Westlands is at the north end of the town and the theatre is across the river at the south end of the town. The walk is a good 30 minutes. The hotel is much bigger than the appearance from the main road, with extensive rooms at the rear. It has a pleasant terrace above well kept gardens - good for an early morning coffee or a relaxing day time drink. Reception is not covered after 8 pm so no later night drinks. We had a good sized room with excellent facilities. Breakfast was a regular buffet and very busy. We thought the hotel adequate and good value for money. If there was a downside it was that the manager who regularly sat at reception never lifted his head as guests came and went. Simply no recognition at all. No ‘hello’ or ‘welcome’ - nothing. He gave the very strong impression of not wanting to be there. Very disappointing. Pitlochry is an attractive town with lots to do and see. Some great walking and the theatre is a strong plus. For meals the Old Mill Hotel is extremely popular and hard to beat. And an excellent place to stay, if you can catch one of the few rooms.
