We stayed in the lodge opposite the bar. There was building work going on downstairs but didn’t interfere with our stay. Really nice room on top floor. Only negative is the tv was very small. Food at the pub was lovely.

The room I was assigned to was in a property across the street from the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, but was on the third floor with no elevator. Luckily, the gentleman that checked me in helped me get my luggage up the stairs, unfortunately, I was on my own when checking out. As a single, 64 year old woman, this was a struggle. Breakfast was included and was excellent, as was the staff serving in the dining room. McKays is conveniently located near the train station and bus stops, mega shopping and dining options as well as the Pitlochry Festival Theater.

cottage stay

The cottage at the hotel was great for us as a family of 5. It meant we had plenty of space but also use of hotel facilities as well - best of both worlds.

Short break

We stayed for 2 nights on a bed and breakfast basis. We stayed in the town house across from the main hotel. The room was large and comfortable. I think it had just been updated. The bathroom was small but servicable. The bed was large and comfortable. The breakfast had a huge selection and was cooked to order and therefore fresh and plentiful. We had dinner in the restaurant on the second night and it was well presented and tasty. The staff were were professional , friendly and helpful.

The room was amazing, lovely big comfy super king bed and huge bathroom. The imcluded breakfast was also great. Only drawbacks are the live music at the weekend is extremely noisy and goes on till around midnight. The street noise can also be an issue with the window open which you will want as the room can get quite hot. Overall, very nice place but the lively surroundings bring it down a notch.
