Booked 2 nights stay at this hotel for my partners birthday treat so we could explore the surrounding area. Arrived around 5pm after a long drive and was pleasantly surprised by how big the place was and how nice it looked at night, with the outside lights/veranda lit up. As soon as we got inside, the service and welcome that we received was lovely. After a quick tour of the room we headed downstairs for dinner, where again the service was great and the food was surprising for such a small hotel - it was amazing. Add to this that the chef quickly came out with homemade fresh out of the oven bread rolls....the smell was brilliant. The guy that looked after the front of house/served us breakfast was very good and very professional. Overall, our stay exceeded expectations and to top it off, it was dog friendly and had a lovely wee kids park in the garden. The only negative for me is that the bathroom radiator didn't work, so it was a little chilly - but things break, and I won't hold it against the hotel as these things happen and everything else in our room was lovely. Will return next year

Muscles were extremely poor, sauce was very watery and smelly. Never had muscles like this before. Fish for main was tasteless as well. First time I’ve ever felt like leaving a review after a meal before. Disappointing

Went for Dinner there due to our stay in Weem. Had one of the most delicious dinner ever there, quality and taste of the food was perfect. We were late and kitchen on its way to close but the staff there was putting in additional effort to serve food which was exceptional! All different waiters there were very attentive, extremely courteous and we felt super comfortable. All in all we had great dinner in a great restaurant with lovely people there! :) I would recommend everyone who is around this area on this trip, to have dinner there and spend a perfect evening! :)

The food here was poor and overpriced. The bruschetta for starters was tasteless. The so called vegetable risotto was ordinary rice with a mean smattering of vegetables, mainly celery. The steaks were poorly cooked and very chewy and at £28 were a rip off. Calf cheeks are supposed to be melt in the mouth. The dish served was so dry and tough as to be inedible. We gave up on desserts.

We did the circular walk up to the Bunkhouse and back down where it ended at Ailean Chraggan. We were thirsty and hungry and wow were not disappointed at all. Excellent friendly service and the food was superb. We had the burger which came with hand cut fries and a lovely salad and a tuna sandwich again with a lovely salad with hand cut fries as a side. Everything was delicious and very tasty and no complaints at all. The service and staff were all excellent too. Can highly recommend.

We were so disappointed. We have eaten here a number of times over the years and it has always been a special place to dine. Similar to other reviews sadly we could not recommend. The members of staff were trying very hard but there was something sadly lacking. Bizarrely we kept being told that a large order had just reached the kitchen and we had to wait just to place ours. When we did eventually there was just one starter on the specials board. The pasta dish was was not very edible as the pasta was hard and chewy and lukewarm as if it had been left on one side for a while. My choice of a seafood platter comprised some smoked salmon, a mousse, prawn Marie rose and what must have been cod bites. Not exactly a seafood platter surely? Very disappointing. The restaurant at best was only half full and yet we were distributed in some random fashion and not able to take advantage of the lovely conservatory. Something was clearly not right. This latest visit was not up to the high standard we have previously experienced here and sadly as it is could not recommend. So in that respect I echo the sentiments of some of the more recent reviews listed here.

So disappointed in our recent visit - I’ve been here a few times before and always had a great meal but this time it was well below acceptable. We ate at 7 - already one of the specials was sold out which was a disappointing start. Despite the restaurant being very quiet we were also sat in what felt like the overspill area which had next to little atmosphere - you could’ve heard a pin drop. I had the bruschetta to start which was quite frankly appalling - it was brick hard with little to no oil/balsamic. When I cut into it the thing crumbled. The tomato, onion and basil topping was tasty but that’s not what I paid £7.95 for. I did feed this back when plates were collected and was told it would be fed back. The Mediterranean vegetable risotto was OK but my husband had the burger and said it was the most bland burger he’s ever had. How can you get a burger wrong?! The onion rings were very good. Service was fine. We skipped dessert as quite frankly couldn’t wait to leave. Won’t be back.

So disappointed. Visited last year and it was a vibrant venue with lovely food. Lots of choice in the specials too. Took friends this year and it was sadly rather embarrassing. We each chose different courses and bar the burger, they were all poor. Soggy chips, moussaka in a bowl and looking nothing like moussaka. The skint was basically a bowl of chopped potatoes and lots of bones. Decided dessert would be a step too far for us and left. Sadly we won’t be returning and hope they re assess their service…. The people were friendly enough.

Very disappointed . Arrived to be told that there was no steak or mussels even though the mussels were on the specials board . We were the first in as well as we were told we had to have 6.30 as there were 2 big parties in later on , however they never materialized. I ordered the vegetable moussaka which was average . This came with halloumi fries and they were stone cold . A couple in the party had stroganoff which they described as being very bland. In relation to the staff , the young girl was very helpful but the other lady , I would describe her as difficult as if she didn’t want to be there . When I complained , she told me that she’d asked during the meal and I hadn’t said anything then but I had spoken to the young girl and I didn’t feel that I needed to keep repeating myself . We have eaten here on numerous occasions in the past and it has always been a lovely dining experience. This latest visit wasn’t and I won’t be going again and I certainly wouldn’t recommend it to anyone . I don’t know if it’s changed hands but something has definitely changed which is a great shame .

Such a lovely place just in the outskirts of Aberfeldy. We ate here two nights out of our three night stay and loved both. The food is first rate and the staff friendly and attentive. Jen had the Scottish trout and risotto both nights and raves about it - I had the chicken supreme roast the first night and Scottish Mussels second night. Highly recommended for a cozy and Oman tic meal in a beautiful place Pete (and Jen)

The staff are friendly, welcoming and very helpful. The breakfast and evening meals are lovely and great portion sizes if you have a big appetite. The room that we stayed in (Lyon) was a good size. The bathroom had been replaced and was good, but although clean, the rooms are very dated and could do with a re-fresh. We stayed for 3 nights and didn’t get clean towels or bedding which was disappointing. Overall the hotel could be brilliant, it just needs a bit of face lift

We had dinner here on the recommendation of the Bed and Breakfast we were staying in in the town and enjoyed a pleasant walk across the river to the hotel. The portions were generous and the food well presented and beautifully cooked. We felt slightly unnerved by the fact that none of the staff were wearing masks and the menus were not disposable or on a board or iPad. We were reassured after a chat with our waitress but it did seem odd given everywhere else we visited was going to great lengths to overtly demonstrate adherence to the current Covid guidelines. We enjoyed our meal but sadly had to share the dining room with a particularly loud opinionated couple who seemed blissfully unaware - to give them the benefit of the doubt - that they were broadcasting to the rest of the room! Another reason to consider putting up screens between tables! Perhaps that would have helped with soundproofing!

Booked a table online for Sun evening and enjoyed a lovely meal with great food and friendly service. Menu was quite short, but there was the additional specials board as well as the Sunday Roast offerings. The Haggis Bon-Bons starter was delicious and the mains that followed equally so. Rounded off with dessert the meal offered good value with a starter. 2 x mains, 2 desserts and drinks c£75 for 2. The tables were well spaced out with the usual sanitiser station and we had no issues with our safety. Great way to end the weekend.

We visited while staying in a cottage a 10 minute drive away and were immediately impressed with the menu options. There were some really interesting main courses listed and my Cullen skink starter and wild boar main were delicious . My daughter found her main course of mussels was slightly spoilt by the overwhelming taste of lemon, with too many large chunks in dish. The restaurant was very quiet when we visited and the interior was a throwback to the 1970s , reinforced by the plate of white sliced bread and butter brought to the table. However, the food was excellent and we would definitely return.

Went for family Sunday lunch. Did not enjoy either the main carvery or the pudding.Carvery - beef was not just rare it was practically raw - more like a tartare before it is chopped up, this is not what you expect for a family Sunday lunch. The vegetables and potatoes were hard - not just nicely firm but HARD. Yorkshire pudding did not appear home made though could not be sure of this - in fact the only decent thing was the gravy,Then on to the pudding I have never tasted a more sickly dish than the panna cotta with Mars bar sauce. Panna cotta was undercooked and sauce sprinkled with chocolate drops like on a kiddies cake!!I thought this restaurant had turned itself around after a bad start when owners changed but it now seems to have gone backwards again. Interestingly there were hardly any "locals" eating there which in itself says something. Definitely will not be going back there; given it too many chances already.Just to say that the waitress we had (a Scottish girl) was excellent though other staff were rather stilted in their manner. This is the only reason I have given it 4 stars for service - if it wasn't for her it would only have got a 3.

Style over substance with the scallop dish and very small portion of duck with rock hard spring rolls. However, the seafood platter (mussels apart) was excellent as was the Cullen skink. Staff are friendly and attentive.

Fantastic views over the valley towards Aberfeldy. They have an excellent menu which is quite extensive. They also have fantastic seafood on offer. The dishes are well cooked and presented and really tasty. We were delighted and will visit again.

Visited on a Saturday night as part of a weekend hen-do. We had booked a few weeks prior as restaurants can't always accommodate such a large group. The restaurant itself is lovely with fantastic views. Staff were lovely, very attentive. Food was SUPERB. venison, surf n turf, salmon, steaks were all fantastic. We did get a bit noisy but no-one seemed to mind. Would highly recommend. Extremely good value for money.

I had the venison and it really was cooked to perfection. I had it rare and it was a great quality cut of meat - extremely tender and in an amazingly tasty jus, served with fondant potatoes and veg - all perfectly balanced. Partner had the pork belly which was completely soft and delicious. Again, everything on the plate cooked very expertly. Highly recommend - they can cook! Restaurant in a nice setting with lovely outlook.

Very nice range of food on the menu, well cooked and think there is a lot of fresh local produce to choose from. The service was very good and the restaurant is a nice place to eat- looks good and lovely views to the hills. We were celebrating a 70th birthday lunch and I'd recommend it to others.

Das Restaurant bietet gute Meeresfrüchte und leckere Steaks und eine überschaubare Karte für fast jeden Geschmack. Wir hatten Austern, eine Suppe mit Meeresfrüchten, Muscheln, Coquilles St. Jacques, Chips & Fish, Schweinebauch knusprig und div. Desserts. Alles war professionell zubereitet, gefällig präsentiert. Die Bedingungen waren alle sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben beschlossen, wiederzukommen.

Being real hungry in a restaurant that looks like it's got wonderful food is one of life's great pleasures for me. So I went ahead with the top ticket menu item at Ailean Chraggan: Surf and Turf, Tiger prawns broiled in butter topping a beef fillet. 25 Pounds Stirling. $30 or so. The prawns were farm raised shrimp with zero flavor and the fillet was pieced together from the ends of the tenderloin which fell apart when nudged by a fork. I personally want that "chief", after he graduates auto-repair school, hung up by his Buster Browns. I know great steak and have eaten truly amazing fillets. That fillet was sinewy and mushy at the same time, making me think it had been sitting around for quite a while, and I do not mean dry aging. Quite a feat of kitchen penny pinching. If you are going to cheat your customers, cheat they guy getting the chicken masala, not the one getting the most expensive item on the menu, because he is going to be pissed and go through the trouble of writing a review. The two onion rings that went with it were soggy. But the place does make a perfectly passable French Fry. Hench the two stars. And the peppercorn sauce was all that allowed me to eat the meat. You really gotta work to screw up a fillet mignon that badly and this place did it admirably. Lastly the creme brulee was clearly a few days old as all the color had completely blanched out of the strawberries embedded under the sugar crust making them a most unappealing shade of grey.

We stayed over at the hotel on a Sunday and had dinner within the restaurant. The hotel staff were fantastic (Blake deserves special recognition - thank you!), and our room was well equipped, clean and comfortable. The hotel is located centrally so it’s easy for access to local amenities. The food in the restaurant was excellent and great value. The place was buzzing so we were so lucky to have booked in advance. The locals clearly enjoy the restaurant and made for a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to anyone for meals, drinks and stays.

The location, the restaurant, the staff and the food are all excellent. My partner and I had a truly wonderful Sunday lunch and each dish (cheese souffle, John Dory and blueberry pana cotta) worthy of 10 out of 10. scores. My only concern is that the 25% increase in the price may deter future customers.
