About Knockendarroch Hotel

Knockendarroch Hotel occupies a Victorian villa set above Pitlochry on the Knockard Road hillside, a short uphill walk from the town centre. The hotel is run as an adults-only property with a handful of individually decorated bedrooms, several taking in views over the town and the Tummel valley beyond.

Dinner is served most evenings in a small dining room, with a set menu built around Scottish produce and a wine list chosen to match, and the hotel's lounge and terrace are popular for a drink before dinner in the warmer months.

Its elevated, quiet setting combined with a genuinely short walk down into Pitlochry makes Knockendarroch a favoured choice for couples looking for a smaller-scale alternative to the town's larger hotels.

What guests say

Elizabeth Shaw

We stayed for one night at Knockendarroch on our honeymoon road trip, and this hotel is a top contender for our favorite stay of the trip. The room we had, #3, was beautiful and clean, and the view was exceptional. The lounge was relaxing and had great drink selections, the service was great, and the breakfast the next day was incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the other guests we met during our evening here. We walked down the road for dinner, but the dinner offered on-site looked and smelled great! We would love to stay again.

My wife and I had an INCREDIBLE experience. The hotel and rooms are very quaint and immaculately clean. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. So much so they began breakfast service 15 minutes early to allow us to catch our outbound train. The food is 5 star with service to match. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Short walk from centre/river. Very well appointed and staff were extremely efficient and friendly with level of service beyond expectations. Food throughout was fantastic and apparently all made in house. Also have a full set of gluten-free and allergy menus and are very proactive in handling clients with such needs.

Amazing hotel set in a beautiful location, we stayed in a suite and it was absolutely stunning. The food was incredible the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only gripe I had was the price of the beer on offer which I felt was way over the top £9.50 for 330ml bottle other than that I would thoroughly recommend it.
