Review summary

Moulin Hotel, a short uphill walk from Pitlochry's centre and near Ben Vrackie hiking trails, offers guests spacious rooms, some with scenic views of the church and surrounding meadows, though a few guests found the bedroom decor a bit basic. The breakfast receives high praise for its fabulous choices, and the hotel's pub serves excellent food, particularly the pub-grub.

Quaint and Cosy Stay!

great choice friendly staff welcome atmosphere
The breakfast provided a great choice and the food tasted delicious. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful . The atmosphere in the restaurant and bar was great. I felt welcome each time.
The room I stayed in could definitely use some updating to bring it into this century. The shower head was tiny and looked quite outdated in its design.
