Great location, rooms in need of modernisation
Beautiful location and grounds! The bar and restaurant are also lovely for views, service and quality of food. Hiwever, the rooms (loch-view room) are in need of modernisation with small cracked bathrooms, and more accurately, views of the dam rather than the loch from the room (loch views are available from the balcony though!) Although the spa is nice, it seemed that the thermal suite and steam room weren’t on while we were there. For the price (close to £500 per night) we expected better.

Excellent location
Only stayed for one evening but had a lovely stay nonetheless. The hotel is situated a short walk from Pitlochry dam and the town itself so a great location to stay. Must say our room did seem a tad tired and nothing had changed since three years ago when we stayed. Overall slightly overpriced I feel but would stay again

What joy to stay at Fonab Castle!
Fonab Castle is a very special stay, from its lovely grounds, comfortable rooms and excellent lunch and dinner offerings. We were taken on a short tour of the building as we arrived before check in, and this was a special treat. Our friend was in the garden accommodation, and we were in the castle, so we were able to see both options. As expected, both are excellent. The bathroom was lovely, with large towels. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast at Fonab. The lunch and dinner were excellent. However, part of the breakfast was disappointing. The cooked meals were very good, but the tower of three choices could have been better. The pastries were ordinary and there were no spoons for the yoghurt which was served in elegant slender glasses. We would love to stay at Fonab again.

Absolutely amazing. Concierge Davie gave us a grand tour with huge Scottish flare. Beautiful views of the river with very clean grounds and rooms. Definitely our favorite stay on our 12 day honeymoon journey. Everything is pricey here but well worth the experience for this level of quality.
