Best accommodation we have ever stayed in, and we do stay away quite a lot. The owner has clearly put maximum effort into making this a comfortable stay for guests, and it is great value for money. Would love to return and thoroughly recommend.

Great atmosphere at The Taybank. The room and bathroom were quirky, boutique style. Loved the hamper, picnic style breakfast, full of lovely goodies. Coffee in the room was excellent.

We stayed here for a Landrover Experience day in Butterstone, which was just a few miles up the road.
It was 50 years since my last visit to Birnam...when i was Youth Hosteling as a 15 year old.
We ate our evening meal in the Inn right next door to the Hotel.
Next time we'd like to stay a bit longer.

Beautiful historical town.
Beautiful historical town. It is very quaint, but it is still so pleasant to walk around. There are a few small shops, bakeries, and restaurants with great food. Everyone there was so friendly. There are a few pubs with affordable prices and great atmospheres. A train station is close by so it is easy to get to bigger towns and cities as well. The town is extremely safe, even at night. I never felt uncomfortable walking around.

Scenery outstanding; village charming.
Scenery outstanding; village charming. The only downside was the lack of pubs/restaurants, as this was over the Xmas period; consequently, on Xmas Eve we booked an over-priced [and not very good] meal at the Tay Bank Hotel -o.k. for a seat if having a meal upstairs [no signs or directions, but a local told us] but small bar downstairs dangerously over-packed with people [getting near the bar to order drinks impossible]. Apart from this local monopoly, Dunkeld is a great place, especially for The Great Outdoors. A walk up nearby Birnam Hill gives wonderful views of the rich surrounding countryside and its cute villages.

Rooms and public spaces were excellent.
Rooms and public spaces were excellent. When we checked in we were told swimming pool closed, this was one of the main reasons we stayed. When I complained to Kenny the duty manager he told me everyone was advised when it was reopened. I told him we were not advised. He insisted we were and walked away. The rest of the staff excellent. Drinks way to expensive £46 for a £12 bottle of wine, £15.50 for a 250 ml glass of sauvingnon

Our stay was relaxing and we liked going on the various walks that were various options. We especially liked the walk along the river past Macbeth’s tree. The Cathedral is well worth a visit and the trees are part of the history too.
I have stayed before and this time was just as brilliant. Really the best breakfast ever, I just wish I could eat more :-) Great room with a comfortable bed and an excellent, warm welcome. I've stayed in a number of hotels & B&B's around the UK and this really is the best. Free parking is a bonus these days.
The location is ideal too for walks (Birnam Beeches, The Hermitage and into Dunkeld) and the railway station is less than 10 minutes walk so I hopped on a train to Inverness to enjoy the scenery.
Hotel in dire need of refurbishment. I didn't see another guest at all in the time I was there and the place was silent. As it is very old fashioned and has beautiful old furniture and big high ceilings felt a bit like a castle but was a bit creepy...however I enjoyed seeing the lovely furniture and imagining what it could be like. Restaurant next door was very nice and staff there were lovely. I slept well and bed was comfy enough.
Welcoming staff; spacious, quiet and spotlessly clean room and bathroom; toiletries included shower gel, body lotion, shampoo, conditioner and soap; excellent breakfast (home made porridge, full Scottish breakfast, selection of cereals, croissants and fresh fruits); central location - just opposite the entrance to the Birnam walking trails; local amenities brochure available in the room; WiFi.
A slightly quaint and quirky, very people and dog friendly hotel set in the wonderful location of Dunkeld.
The restaurant and bistro offer a good selection of well prepared dishes, with the Sunday roast beef dinner our favourite.
Our recently refurbished junior suite provided excellent accommodation for our 3 night stay.
We would love to return to this gorgeous apt. All the Charles Rennie Mackintosh touches were lovely. Plenty of space - the smaller bedroom was great for an extra guest. Very handy location opposite the Birnam Arts Centre and about 15 min stroll into Dunkeld. Delicious pizzas at Birnam Inn. A really enjoyable stay.
We were upgraded to the beautiful apartment, which allowed us to have breakfast together with friends also staying at the Merryburn. It was so comfortable for the 4 of us to catch up and chat as it was a big reunion. We walked into Dunkeld for a terrific dinner and it was a great base for local walks.
The Taybank has an awesome location right on the River Tay, with an outdoor dining area right on the bank. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and the breakfast "hamper" was charming. Breakfast was do-it-yourself and perfect for people on the go. All in all, a great experience.
The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Dunkeld. i wished had more time to spend there and have chat with people were already staying in.
A comfortable, modern two floor apartment in the centre of Dunkeld. A great location, parking outside the door, and comfortable beds. We really enjoyed our stay and our kids (5+3yo) loved the nearby playgrounds and nature walks.
Room ( family room on 3rd floor) was very comfortable, quiet and clean with a view over the rooftops of Dunkeld.
Parking behind the Hotel was particularly useful as the village was extremely busy with visitors when we arrived.
The property location was excellent, just a short walk into Dunkeld, and within a short drive of the Newtyle beat on the Tay. Very clean and very well fitted out.
The hotel staff were very nice. Breakfast was great and had various choices. Staff attentive and pleasant. The location is great. 5 min walk to dunkeld.
