Endroit cosy à Pitlochry
Un endroit agréable, avec petits salons et cuisine à partager. Tout est là pour passer un doux moment. La chambre est simple mais il y a avait tout ce dont on avait besoin. Je recommande cet endroit et j'y retournerai avec plaisir. Je n'oublierai pas la vue de la salle à manger... Magnifique !

Très agréable nuitée
Excellent accueil, chambre confortable, 2 salons de détente, cuisine complète avec grand frigo,.
excellent rapport qualité prix
le seul petit bémol : le parking est vraiment petit et pas très pratique pour une grosse voiture ; heureusement j'avais une voiture moyenne.La ville est très agréable à visiter. C'est une bonne étape entre Edimbourg et Inverness.

The stay was ok
The hostel was ok, but the kitchen was closed due to C19. We could not use the fridge and we could nit rent towels. The hostel was closed between 10 and 17.
