Detailed Review - The Dunning Hotel

  • Price vs Quality An excellent value for a 3-star inn The hotel gives exceptional value for an inn at this price; that is, comfortable room, free parking, and a lively pub atmosphere.
  • Service Quality The service is the standout feature. What guests experience consistently is ‘super friendly’, ‘nothing too much trouble’ and ‘incredibly welcoming’, truly combining into a homely experience
  • Location Perfect location if you need an escape to a quaint village. It’s a peaceful home base, yet it’s also very accessible off the A9; great for road-tripping to Perth, Stirling and surrounding castles.
  • Surroundings The surroundings are of a picture-postcard pretty and historic Scottish village. It’s quiet, safe, and ideal for enjoying a relaxing walk to the local historic church and golf course.
  • Room Cleanliness Overall very clean throughout. Most noted ‘spotless’ rooms, “very clean and well kept” bathrooms even with the old building.
  • Breakfast Food served in the in-house tavern is excellent, sizable, and of great value when compared to homemade cooking; breakfast fares just as well, though most of it is dished out at an adorable partner café a quick walk away.
