What a lovely couple of nights we enjoyed here, early May. Booking on thir website was easy. It was a long drive to Pitochry, so we'd booked an Exec room to get the mst from our short stay there. That was a good decision - our 1st floor south-west facing corner room was very spacious, with comfy chairs and table in the bay window. Comfortabke king bed, lovely bedding, clean, quiet, nice bathroom and tea-making facilities. Just right. We parked in front of the hotel, in their car park. The reception staff were welcoming, and on asking, gave us day trips suggestions and local area info. Friendly and helpful. Thanks to you all. Breakfast was self-service with egg options cooked to order. We loved the Hydro's breakfasts: a good selection of Scottish cooked + continental pastries, fruits, yoghurt etc. Yum! We dined from the bar menu in the evenings - delicious pizzas. Everything was well-presented, tasted great and was good value too. A couple of swims in the hotel's indoor pool blew a few mental cobwebs away. The pool is large enough and sensibly-shaped to swim lengths, and we rewarded ourselves with 20min sessions in the jacuzzi. Nice changing room and showers. Clean. The hotel is located up the hill from Pitlochry's main shopping/eatery street, a 10min stroll away. (Take the stepped path from the end of the car park.) There's a verandah and comfy seating outside the hotel. A nice spot for a cuppa or drink from the bar. Throughout our all-too-brief stay, the staff here were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Huge thanks to all the team here, and should we visit this fantastic area of Scotland again - we'll be back!
