The location and ambience of the establishment made it feel like a weekend away in an Agatha Christie novel—without any of the murder mystery (thankfully.) I wish I could have stayed longer, and wish I'd brought my dog! Tremendously welcoming staff, a warm and cozy castle, an idyllic country estate...one of my favorite places I've stayed in Scotland.

Stayed overnight while walking the Cateran trail. Lovely place, reasonably priced, very comfortable. Amanda is a wonderful host and made me feel very much at home!

The continental was plentiful but the cooked breakfast was a bit on the small side. That said, the staff were wonderful, very attentive, and very friendly towards us and the children.
Located just half a mile from Pitlochry town center with complimentary WiFi and parking, the privately owned and run The Acarsaid - Pitlochry offers a quiet retreat in Highland Pertshire.

Location! Pitlochry is such a cute little town. I wish we could spend a little more time in the area. The hotel was clean, well maintained although a bit older property. The views were amazing from common areas. The room was spacious, the bathroom was clean and had all the toiletries. Karen at the front desk was very helpful and courteous. The breakfast room was huge and very welcoming. The full Scottish breakfast was delicious. There was plenty to choose from in addition- cereals, toast, jams, croissants, juices, etc. Again, a shout out to Karen for a wonderful stay.

Cannot fault the scenery but you must be a keen hiker or golfer to spend time here. You are miles from anywhere and only one main road, the A93, which is awful. Days out mean a challenging drive on roads with steep climbs, sharp bends and constant gear changes. This can be tiring and a little frightening at night. Three nights was one too many here.

Beautiful peaceful setting, some lovely period features and very friendly staff, but needs a bit of work done on it. We had moveable heaters in our room, but still little chilly. Bathrooms could be doing with upgrade.

A great area for walkers or hikers & bird watchers & if you like peace & quiet.
The Wifi was not great where stayed. In these modern times most people need Wifi to keep in touch with family & friends.
Ballater is a nice place to visit & some good walks & well sign posted.
Nice cafes & shops there too. You need a car together there. Dunked is also a pretty place e to visit.

Go when the snow is there.
Go when the snow is there. We managed to get over the summit in fairly heavy now without 4WD but it was a bit dicy. If it is snowing and windy also the drfiting can cause a whiteout at a moments notice.
Glenshee is a worthwhile stopover while jouneying to/from the north.

The Cairngorms are unique and Glenshee is a good attempt at utilising the moderate ski potential. In alpine weather it would be a Davos but climate change denies this.
The increasing emphasis on walking, Biking, motorbiking , painting photography with the good access by road mean that there is enormous potential for people to enjoy these iconic hills BUT there has to be a wet weather program - small well organised local museums with really good history eg Braemar castle . Pitlochry lets the side down ( fish ladder closed due to health and safety -what is that code for. There should be a guy showing films of leaping salmon- and getting kids to see live salmon parr - it must have a massive history . Local craft shops ok but if you want to develop tourism there has to be more.
Fantastic facilities, charming house, beautiful surroundings and very helpful and friendly hosts making you feel at home.
The house is charming, has two lounge areas with real fireplaces, well equipped kitchen, big dinning area and an outdoor area. Place was nice and warm despite freezing temperatures outside.
The area is perfect for hikes and only a few minutes from the Glenshee ski centre.
Tim and Helen are wonderful hosts with plenty of knowledge and tips about things to do in the area.
The castle was the perfect place to spend my birthday. Our room had been upgraded and the hotel staff arranged for a plate with “Happy birthday “ written on it surrounded by chocolate covered fruit. It was a lovely surprise which l really appreciated. The castle itself was beautiful and the surrounding parkland. Our room was perfect with a four poster bed and looked out to spectacular views.The food was scrumptious and the staff friendly and attentive.
This place confounds an easy description. The kind woman that greeted us was wonderful. The apartment on the top floor was really lovely, with great views and lots of space to relax (assuming you aren't over 6' tall). The grounds around the hotel are absolutely stunning, and the available walks through the countryside (at all levels of difficulty) are an added bonus. A truly wonderful spot.
Room was very comfortable, with a great bed and spacious bathroom. The highlight was the restaurant - outstandingly good food at reasonable prices - both dinner and breakfast were excellent. We also enjoyed the cosy and welcoming bar. The staff were friendly and attentive. it's in a stunning location, and the walks from the hotel are spectacular.
This is a fantastic hotel tucked away in a spectacular and remote location. There were a couple of roaring fires in log burners in the spacious entrance hall cum lounge which were very welcome on a damp day, staff were helpful, our room was quirky and individual but very cosy, food was excellent. A wonderful place to stay.
Of course it is not a proper castle but an old house set in a remote country estate. It's peaceful with delightful surroundings.
They make it clear in their description that it's not your usual hotel and to be fair they had some interesting traditional decoration and furnishings, particularly in the public lounges
Amazing property at the Scottish highland. The shared bathroom is very clean and the rooms are spacious. The location is ideal if you’re planning to ski in Glenshee. You can rent the ski gear from the lodge owner too with a cheaper price compared to the ski center. Highly recommended
Location superb. Food excellent. Service excellent., all staff were efficient, helpful and friendly.
Hotel was very dog friendly, and as dogs are not allowed in the restaurant, they set up a table for us in an adjoining room. We felt spoiled.
Everything was really good, the location was remote but amazing views. Loved the feel of the hotel, especially coming back to the fire going after a cold day outside and playing billiards. The food was great and the staff friendly and attentive.
Everything from the drive through the Spittle of Glenshee to get there, the welcoming staff, clean rooms and excellent food. Bartender, who was visiting a member of the staff and ‘ put to work’ along with his dog Jaygo was excellent.
The hotel is a lovely old building with lots of character, it was a nice treat form the usual hotels, it would have been nice to have stayed for longer to truly appreciate the experience. Great breakfast.
Brilliant location. Beautiful scenery close by. Plenty of safe spaces to walk the dog and very dog friendly hotel.
The food was of a good standard and fairly priced. Staff were friendly and helpful.
really good value for money, warm showers, basic but comfy rooms, very well equipped kitchen and close to glenshee skiing. Host was friendly and readily available, had an overall good stay
