Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Moulin Hotel enjoys a great location, within walking distance of Pitlochry's centre yet offering a peaceful retreat. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring unique touches like four-poster beds, and find the breakfast excellent, with locally sourced products. The attached pub and brewery are popular, offering tasty meals and beer brewed next door; however, some guests have noted that the decor in some rooms could benefit from an update. Staying in the self-catering cottage opposite the hotel provides convenient access to the bar and restaurant.

mixed feelings about my stay

peeling wallpaperbroken tiles
I was quite let down by the room. the peeling wallpaper and yellowing paint gave a very dated feel. It seemed like the room hadnt been updated in years. the sharp, broken tiles on the bathroom floor were a safety hazard. also. It was difficult to get a table for meals. It would be good if guests could book in advance.
