Rosemount Hotel♡

Super dog friendly hotel with fabulous views

10.0

The Rosemount hotel is soooo dog friendly. They absolutely love them! The rooms are clean and comfy beds, plus the views over to the hills are stunning! Great choice for breakfast and was really tasty! It’s a very quiet place as we went out of season which we loved and meant our wee dog wasn’t bothered so much by people coming and going. They have a free Car park which was great and it’s a five minute or so walk downhill to the main part of town so location is brilliant. Also few minutes walk from hotel is a little park that dogs can get a quick run about in or last wee walk at night. Best part of the hotel was the two owners. They are so friendly, helpful and warm, it was a real pleasure to meet them and stay there. Thank you both for how kind you were to us and our little dog Gavin!

The Rosemount in Higher Oakfield, Pitlochry, requires more ‘highs’

6.0

If mobility is an issue, it is a fairly steep climb to the hotel and some shallow steps within the hotel would be easier to see if there was high-viz edging. The hotel has clean and fresh decor and our room had a large, bright and well looked after shower room, but it is cold in the main public areas when the weather is inclement. Dinner is only available in the high season and breakfast choice had to be made the previous evening. The bar was not open at any stage for impromptu call ins, though it may have been opened on request. Due to lack of guests there was no atmosphere but it may be different in the Summer when hopefully it operates as a guest-focussed hotel rather than a winding-down for Winter feel B&B.

Great hotel, close to all amenities, friendly staff and dog friendly too. Stayed here many times and never disappoints. Recommend it without hesitation.

Pitlochry stay

Stayed here for a couple of nights, and found the place to be fairly average. It felt more like a B&B than a hotel to be honest, and it (plus our room) were quite dated looking. That being said the staff we met were nice, the bed itself was comfortable and the shower unit in the bathroom looked quite new and worked well (even if it did make noises like it was about break down at any moment!). It also had all the toiletries we could need, although more towel rails in the bathroom wouldn't go a miss. We were given a room above reception, which didn't have much sound proofing, so this unfortunately meant we could hear all the goings on & were woken both nights with the sounds of staff setting up for breakfast in the early morning. We had breakfast both days which were also okay. We had to give our breakfast choices the night before, which is not unusual in small run places, so this wasn't an issue for us. And it meant when we came down to breakfast we were served quickly. The place sadly lacked any real atmosphere as well and it seemed really quiet in terms of guests. I know we came on the off season, but the town still seemed busy with tourists, just didn't see many people in our hotel. They had a bar but no one was ever seemed to be in it and I never saw anyone make use of their lounge either. It is located up a hill behind the town centre, but okay to walk if you're fit and able to. I found it to be pretty expensive for what it was as well, but it is the Highlands so that comes with the territory! Overally it was an okay stay but the place is in definite need of a revamp, as it could be so much more.

Hard work, not a holiday.

Room had the look of a hostel rather than a hotel. The real problem became apparent later in the evening when we tried to use the shower. One set of controls to work three things: bath taps, a standard shower head and the rainfall shower. All we could get was a slow dribble of scalding water from the taps into the bath, which we had to cool by filling a glass with a slow dribble of cold water from the washbasin tap. Trying to get anything from the shower repeatedly resulted in soaking wet sleeves from various temperatures of water. This bathroom is not safe. And it had absolutely no heating. It is supposed to be a hotel, so why do we have to choose our breakfast at 4 pm the day before we want to eat breakfast? We had not yet had dinner that evening. A stay here will not add to the enjoyment of your stay in Pitlochry.

Excellent stay
