Stayed here overnight on a cycling trip. Everything about the stay was great, it's clean, friendly and the food was excellent. We were made to feel very welcome and really looked after. This is what all service shout be like. Great value for money too.

We have been here a few times in the last year or two, and have always enjoyed the food on offer. The hosts are always very friendly and welcoming and have pleasant staff. We visited last weekend and we left slightly dissapointed. The dining room was a little on the cold side, and being seated at the window probably didn't... More

Me and a mate booked very last minute and were more than impressed by service, standard of food and room. Euan and Kirsten are very friendly and the breakfast is awesome! I'll be staying again once I'm back in the area!

If you look for a pub where the proprietors care about service and atmosphere then this is the place for you. You can either stay in the bar with the locals or eat in the choice of two separate areas. The food is freshly prepared to your requirements and is excellent value. Curries are particularly good and prepared to your... More

Attended a meal and drinks here for a leaving party recently and I'm afraid it was cut short by a very angry tempered owner who wanted to have a an early night. No reason to shut early but we were refused anymore service as the bar was closed.

Firstly, we have to thank Euan and Kirsten for making us feel so welcome. Very clean hotel and a wonderful breakfast. You can't meet nicer people than Kirsten and Euan, it's like chatting to your mates ! Euan even gave us a lift to the Wedding venue, he even has a Fiat 500...... Would recommend this hotel without hesitation, we... More

Took advantage of the free taxi service from Skylodge in Scone. It was so nice to be able to have a lovely meal with wine and no worries about driving. We found the owners friendly and the food excellent. Huge thank you, I will definitely come again next time I am in Perthshire .

Cycled out to this hotel. Service was good, so was the beer. Good surroundings etc. I did not try the normal food on the menu and its probably fine. I was attracted by the Ploughmans special expecting something nice. I was disappointed. It was OK but nothing remarkable. I am not a fan of white bread and there were two... More

Have just had a three course meal here and it was excellent. Very good choices on the menu. Food was very very good, service good and very friendly people. If you are staying in the area you must go and try it out for yourself.
