Two nights pre wedding event in Pitlochry.

We can’t say enough good things about our two night stay. Staff were so incredibly welcoming, kind and thoughtful. We had dinner the first night and wished we could have done the second too but had theatre tickets. Food was 5* both in flavour and presentation. We had the pleasure of meeting Ann the owner over dinner and the chef that evening , Charlie. Post dinner we sat by the fire where front of house immediately added more firewood. We also had the pleasure of meeting Angus, Ann’s son who was a funny and helpful young man. I am thrilled that this is where we started our trip.

Lovely relaxing stay

We recently stayed here for the first time and it won’t be our last! The staff were so lovely and attentive, they made us feel so welcome and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. The evening meal and breakfast were both absolutely delicious. The building itself is so beautiful and we could easily have sat by the fire all day and night. I’d highly recommend a visit here.

Incredible evening at the Old Manse of Blair

Spent an incredible evening at the Old Manse of Blair. The owner was attentive and went out of his way to make my girlfriend and me feel welcome. Dinner was fantastic and the service from the waitress was top notch. The "design room" was a bit small but very comfy bed and modern design.
