Restaurant at Knockendarroch in Perth & Kinross

Our second visit, we loved the hotel. Comfortable room with a great view, excellent food and exemplary service!

Very comfortable stay here - staff very pleasant and helpful. Dinner is of an excellent standard - good set menu with plenty of choice, while an enviable wine and whisky selection. Particularly enjoyed the smoked haddock risotto and the beef. Breakfast also very good. Room was very good too, everything you’d expect really. Decent enough location, just a short 5-10 min walk to main street. Will visit again.

A wee bit of soft classical music or similar, in the common areas would add to the ambience. Tried not to listen to other's conversations. Felt just a bit self conscious. Could be doing with a continental lager beer.

Firstly , the food was epic. Each plate a work of art and clearly the product of huge talent in the kitchen. The service was efficient and very good. Very good value too. However the general atmosphere and ambience was too staid and stiff for me. The food being fantastic is only part of the overall experience. A little unobtrusive background music would have made conversation and the general mood warmer -anything to soften the general atmosphere and make the acoustics and general feeling less inhibiting. Most of the diners seemed to be residents and we were welcomed with “ ahhh..you’re the non-residents “ . Also , on the night we went there , there were an awful lot of couples sitting in silence , dutifully consuming each course. Obviously this is no fault of the restaurant but along my above comments it all adds up

The food here was amazing and I would highly recommend it and the choice of gins. The review is only 4 stars as we were made to feel a bit like second class citizens as we weren’t residents. Despite booking for the pre theatre meal we were told that we could not avail of the bus to the theatre but had to walk.

Dined here for our anniversary and the meal was excellent. We have stayed and dined here before and it is always very very good. The staff are relaxed and so professional and helped us enjoy the occasion. One of our favourite places to stay and eat. The chef, Nicola, deserves special mention - superb!

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and dined in the restaurant on the 1st night. On the 2nd night we decided to venture outside the hotel for dinner but wish we hadn't bothered as it was nothing compared to our experience in the Knockendarroch restaurant the previous night.I cam honestly say that it was the best meal we've had in a very long time. Canopes, 3 courses and tea/coffee with tablet was all included for £25 pp (resident price). It was a real treat especially if you like fine dining and we look forward to visiting again in the future. The staff are also all so lovely and very accomodating.

Absolutely superb. We’re staying at the atholpalace which charges £45 for a rubbish 3 course meal which is basically rubbish compared to a£49 for 3 courses PLUS canapés for a superb meal. Absolutely no comparison. Knockendarroch was a superb meal. My wife and I both had the smoked haddock risotto, stuffed quail and frangipan. I would happily have paid twice this price for the meal. Really friendly staff, nice wines, great whisky selection and fabulous views to cap it all. Oh and my wife also commented on how comfortable the chairs were

We really enjoyed our two dinners at the restaurant at Knockendarroch. We particularly liked the sea bass dinner. Also, for hotel guests the two-course breakfasts were wonderful. I enjoyed all of the menu items, particularly the Traditional Scottish Breakfast with the sausage, black pudding and haggis. Highly recommended.

The hotel is beautiful and its very cosy and homely whilst being upmarket. The food was incredible flavours and using Scottish ingredients, it was perfect size portions. The only downfall was that it was felt the hotel were targeting the older generation so we when we arrived a bit younger, they almost didn't know what to do. They could jazz up the drinks menu and get some more money in with some up to date drinks such as beers on tap or cocktails. Overall it was lovely but could add some modern twists.

We stayed at the hotel for 5 nights to end a tour of the Highlands earlier this month and were initially worried that the restaurant food on the DB&B booking we had could have ended up being a little 'samey'. We need not have worried, the food, ingredients and quality of cooking was exceptionally good. The service too was excellent and reminiscent of old style, quality dining in beautiful surroundings. We were never kept waiting and everything was served on time, exactly as ordered. It certainly exceeded our expectations.

Not resident at the hotel but booked for dinner (essential). It is a fixed price menu @ £49pp for 3 courses - good value as food is cooked and presented to a high standard. Canapes are served in the lounge whilst you review the menu and orders taken prior to going to the dinning room. There is a choice of 4 items for each course. There is a small but good wine list with prices to suit most pockets. Staff and service were excellent. Would recommend.

We booked this restaurant to have the set menu, £49 per head for our anniversary (which was written in chocolate on our pudding plates, a lovely touch) recently. This hotel has been beautifully renovated and the lounge with it’s roaring fire, very welcoming. We arrived 15 minutes early for 2000hrs but weren’t seated to eat until 2030 and hadn’t been advised we might not be seated promptly. We did know that we had to be out of the restaurant and finished our drinks/tea/coffee by 2200hrs however due to the restrictions presented by Covid, we would not be allowed to drink in the lounge, but could sit. It was disappointing to see the manager/owner (?) dressed casually in jeans and jumper and the waiting staff also dressed casually. While the food was lovely, we really considered it to be expensive and the starter of laksa and dessert of ice cream were certainly on the small side. Reading a review from 2016, we have the same complaint as then, that diners should not be charged for tea and coffee on top of what is already an expensive set menu.

Delicious. Between us we enjoyed fish, meat and veggie options and from canapés to dessert, each course excelled. I was sad to say goodbye to the last bite of every dish. The drinks was fab too... Two thumbs up to the rioja blanco. Flo and the team were delightful and looked after us very well, and clearly the kitchen team were going all out. Thank you so much Knockendarroch for a wonderful evening. Can't wait to come back.

I can’t rate this highly enough. Started with canapés in the drawing room . Fabulous malt whisky list Amazing and attentive staff and beautiful cosy dining room. The food was so excellently presented with an amazing blend of flavours. Absolutely fantastic- among the top if not the top of best meals we have ever had

At the end of a week walking the Rob Roy Way, we finished by having an excellent meal at this hotel. Having booked two weeks in advance, they could only offer a slot at 8:15pm but on the day we visited the receptionist rang to say they could fit us in much earlier - good personal service. A relaxed evening with pre meal drinks in the lounge and then in the dining room diners were separated by large Perspex screens ensuring social distancing. Food and service were both excellent. We shall look forward to another visit next year.

Can't rate this highly enough. Beautifully well presented and prepared dining in elegant surrounding. Staff extremely friendly and professional

Ambiente elegante, pochi tavoli, prenotazione indispensabile, servizio impeccabile e molto professionale. Cibo molto buono, antipasti e piatti di carne superlativi, buoni anche pesce e dolci.

Como huéspedes del hotel, comimos aquí una noche y ¡solo nos hubiera gustado tener la otra noche también!La comida era absolutamente hermosa, deliciosa, perfectamente equilibrada en los sabores del plato y de excelente calidad.El servicio también fue fantástico y el personal increíblemente amable y genuino.Después de haber viajado por gran parte de Escocia y haber vivido en Stirlingshire durante 18 meses, esta comida es la mejor que hemos probado hasta ahora y el precio cuando se combina con la estadía fue increíblemente buena.Se lo recomendaríamos a cualquiera que se aloje en Perthshire.

Excelente comida y servicio, desde el momento en que entramos por la puerta nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y luego nos dirigimos al salón donde estaban los fuegos, que era muy acogedor y reconfortante, nos sirvieron nuestras bebidas, nos tomaron nuestro pedido. vinieron las marquesinas, luego nos llevaron al restaurante y nos sentamos, el servicio fue perfecto y la comida fue excelente, después de nuestra comida tomamos nuestro café y una tableta casera en el salón, el ambiente en todo el lugar era muy relajante y muy hogareño, lo recomendaría a todos, es la mejor comida que he tenido y el servicio fue de alto nivel, gracias por una noche tan encantadora, sin duda volveré.

Este es un restaurante de hotel que se esfuerza por lo mejor. Cómodas sillas frente a un fuego de leña con canapés, luego convocados para la comida. Tres cursos para 46 no parecían irrazonables a juzgar por la satisfacción común. Buena (pero limitada) elección en el menú y la mía, por ejemplo, estaba bastante deliciosa. Chuletas de cordero. Los amigos vegetarianos también disfrutaron, aunque su elección principal se limitó a un solo plato. El servicio fue sincronizado y excelente.

We thought the meal was excellent value. Great choice, and excellent staff service. I can't remember what we ate now! but remember it was delicious! Thank you.

This is a delightful boutique hotel with exquisite dining room. We are residents there, for the excellent service and exquisite food.

Faultless - amazing value for £45 given the quality of the food.I love somewhere too that has the right ambience for a special meal out and this has it in spades - country house comfort, quality art work, good books.Cosy and lovely decor.Canapes were first class, pigeon as a starter - I'm so so about pigeon -was gorgeous, we both remarked on it.Both had venison - excellent.Pecan pie was genuinely home made, buttery shortcrust base (I bake a lot and can usually tell something commercially bought in - happens too often).Served with one of their unusual home made ice creams - nutmeg flavour.Superb.The rhubarb consomme was a little successful , not having much rhubarb taste but refreshing overall.A little quibble too about the tablet with tea - have tasted better:( But a very small thing overall.We'll be back!

We stayed in the hotel and had breakfast and dinner in the restaurant. The dinner was a three course meal which was as good as I have tasted. The food was beautifully presented with lovely fresh ingredients. The staff were very attentive and helpful.

We had two dinners here. Good choice of menu. Extremely tasty food and beautifully presented. Congratulations to the chef and his staff.

We have been here 3 times now and it is excellent. We eat in the hotel every time we stay here as you cannot do better. Great atmosphere, lovely staff and every mouthful of food a delight. We will return.

Very friendly staff. Hotel spotlessly clean. Food v good. What's not to like? Apart from the wet weather.... What a fabulous place for a 10 year anniversary....

Gleaming white table linen welcomes the diner in a spacious traditional room. A selection of delicious home baked bead was offered by the delightful servers, with the starter arriving soon after. And very good it was too; a kind of fish medley with oriental overtones.The menu, while not extensive, was sufficient. I opted for the hake, not normally my first choice of fish, but which turned out to be excellent both in terms of freshness and of cooking. The presentation, portion size and trimmings were all spot on.While all the desserts sounded mouth watering, I opted for the selection of Scottish cheeses. It got me thinking why the need to import continental cheese when we can produce our own to this high standard.As a resident, I paid what I considered a very modest price for dinner. In summary, the restaurant, like the rest of the hotel is run in a most friendly and efficient manner. I would return to eat there and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

This restaurant is in the Knockendarroch Hotel. The food is wonderful. The meal begins in the parlor and then you are taken into the dining room for a great meal.

Wir waren innerhalb einer Woche zweimal dort essen und es war beide male absolut fantastisch.

We ate here as we were staying in the hotel. Being a fixed menu, we had reservations about the limited choice. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and were left satisfied but not stuffed. The flavours were subtle but very tasty. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

We are often in the area and this is still a favourite restaurant of ours. We booked the non-resident dinner and had some drinks/coffee in the lounge after dinner. Great food, great service. Lovely view over the misty hills from the bay window on the night we went. Would highly recommend.

2nd visit. Great food. Excellent service. Best place we have eaten in Pitlochry. Three course menu is about £ 49. We will be back.

Hicimos la reserva para comer aquí antes de llegar a Pitlochry gracias a la recomendación de la guía "Escocia, la mejor", y cuando le informamos al propietario del lugar donde estábamos alojados, él también respaldó la recomendación. Tuvimos una agradable velada en el Knockendarroch: obtienes la experiencia completa de un "hotel de casa de campo" pero sin la congestión. Solo puedo hacer eco de los comentarios realizados por los invitados anteriores: desde bebidas antes de la cena y canapés en el salón, hasta la excelente comida, y café y whisky después de la cena; Hay un verdadero placer aquí y vale la pena pagar el extra.

Llegamos temprano y esperamos un rato en el salón y estábamos muy hambrientos cuando estábamos entrando al comedor. Ya habíamos tenido pequeños canapés y elegimos nuestra comida y vino, lo cual estuvo bien y ciertamente mejoró con la decantación. Había bastantes personas atestadas en el comedor, pero teníamos espacio suficiente. Nos dijeron que nuestro vino tenía un tapón de rosca porque no había necesidad de probarlo, así que solo se sirvió. Por supuesto, no se podía tapar con corcho, pero en todas partes generalmente te da la oportunidad de probarlo. . Las rebanadas de pan casero llegaron con mantequilla para mí, pero nada para mi esposa, ni aceite ni vegano. . Aún así se reponían a menudo. Por lo tanto, no es el comienzo más auspicioso. . .

decidimos regalarnos una comida aquí ya que el menú se veía muy bien. No nos decepcionó. . . Desde el momento en que entramos para tomar canapés en el salón hasta que nos fuimos después de tomar un té / café y una tableta casera en el salón para terminar nuestra comida, el personal era encantador y la comida realmente buena. Lo recomendaría para un regalo especial!

Tuvimos una comida aquí en nuestra última noche en Pitlochry. Bebidas antes de la cena y canap s en el salón fueron traídos rápidamente. El fuego se encendió, dando al lugar un ambiente acogedor. La cena fue de un menú de tres platos con una selección de cuatro elementos para cada plato. El menú cambia todos los días, pero elija el gallinero de Guinea si está disponible. Fue excelente. Tomamos café y una copa de oporto en el salón después. Las camareras eran muy amables, acogedoras y ciertamente sabían lo que hacían. La comida y el vino eran muy buenos y fue estupendo sentarse con café y una copa de oporto después de nuestra comida. Recomendaría el restaurante en Knockendarroch para una comida especial.

Salle de restaurant relativement moderne. Belles tables. Amuse-bouche (mousse de maquereau et mousse de volaille), butternut squash, Highland beef, warm scottish border tart. Et enfin infusion camomille ou menthe fraiche pour le premier soir. lakhsa noodle rice, duck, tarte frangipane ou brownie au chocolat au dessert pour le second soir. Les petits-déjeuner aussi sont délicieux. Que ce soit le haddock poché avec son oeuf poché ou l'assiette scottish (black pudding, haggis, saucisse, bacon, champignons...) ou du smocked salmon. C'est copieux, bien présenté, exquis !

Birthday treat for my wife. Very friendly waitresses, comfortable lounge and well presented dinners although the atmosphere is rather prim and proper.

We were welcomed by the friendly staff and shown to the lounge, where we were offered pre dinner drinks and canapes. Our order was taken from a relatively extensive menu and we were taken through to the dining room. Every cours eand dish was excellent and the staff made a special effort with the dessert for my fiancee's birthday! We would definitely visit again.

We didn’t stay in the hotel, we had lunch. It's a fine dining place. We were lucky to find this incredibly charming and elegant hotel restaurant during our vacation through Scotland. Both inside and outside look so breathtakingly magnificent that, we almost felt like royalties on red carpet. We relaxed on the sofas in their lounge area with log fire till food arrived. The salmon and sandwiches were mouthwateringly delicious. The service was fantastic. I strongly recommend this place as a must visit for travelers in Scotland.

Friendly and efficient staff, great food - also pre-theatre dinners if required. A good atmosphere and comfortable lounge while choosing from an interesting menu. Always a treat to eat here.

We really enjoyed our visits for Dinner food was excellent and contrary to another review, helpings where big. We could not fault the meal and the Staff were very efficient and attentive.

High in the hills above Pitlochry, located in the hotel of the same name is this small but lovely restaurant. Have a drink in the elegant high-ceilinged lounge with a complimentary nibble while you wait to be seated in the dining room. Food and service were excellent, and attention to my partner's dairy allergy was second to none. Local produce and dishes included venison, scallops, guinea fowl - all beautifully presented and delicious, worthy of its AA rosettes.

We were in Scotland for our 48th Wedding Anniversary together with one of our Grand Daughters from Canada and booked for our celebratory meal at this restaurant. The meal ,wine, service and ambiance was great and we would certainly eat here again. Thank you.

Lovely meal here while staying at the hotel. Nice dining room, good staff. Reasonable choice on the menu, which is very reasonably priced. Everything we had was well cooked and presented, and at the right pace. Wine list a little limited but that certainly won't put us off returning

Utterly disappointing. Not fine dining as we know it. Duck over cooked. Starter of scrabster poorly presented and a palette of 70s cuisine. Poor wine choice.... if your looking for fine dining this is not the place but the prices are. Lounge is lovely restaurant not so.

Vi köpte ett paket med boende och halvpension på detta trevliga hotell. Både mat och boende höll högsta klass, vilket gör att vi verkligen vill rekommendera detta ställe!

We stayed three nights and all dinners and breakfasts were first class. A wide range of choice for dinner, served beautifully by the excellent staff in a stately home atmosphere. Breakfast were excellent and set you up for the day ahead. Thouroughly recommended.

Fabulous cuisine Very varied menus, with fantastic choices of vegetables, meet, fish as well as tasty desserts. Very kind staff.

Ein leckeres 3 Gang Menü in schönen Räumlichkeiten, Aperitif im Kaminzimmer - Essen im Speisezimmer und Abschluss wieder im Kaminzimmer, einfach tolles Erlebnis und empfehlenswert.

We had a great night with friends in this hotel restaurant. Service was friendly and professional and the quality of the food was excellent - using many locally sourced products.

The knockendarroch Hotel is by far the best place to stay or dine in Pitlochery, fine food, lovely location and very nice staff!

Excellent dinner here as non resident guests. Booking is essential as they have limited availability for non residents. Having heard good reports from other locals we certainly were very impressed by dinner. Staff were courteous and friendly. Lovely drawing room to have a drink whilst looking at the menu with canapés which were flavoursome and nicely presented. Menu has four choices for each course and was very well balanced. Scallops to start were delicious with nice accompaniments. We had three different main courses and each one was very impressive. Unlike many restaurants where the sauces and vegetables are all the same, here each course was creatively presented each with different vegetables and potatoes. I had a dessert of Dark chocolate and Edradour malt whisky fondant - out of this world. Slight niggle was the creme brûlée being a little un-set otherwise the selection of Scottish cheese was good. The whole evening was very relaxing. As residents of Pitlochry we highly recommend Knockendarroch especially if you are looking for something special.

Stayed here ant ate in the Restraunt, it is a top class hotel with food to die for, the staff and food quality make it a must do location for a quite holiday or weekend pampering.

Although the food in the restaurant was perfectly good, we felt that there was little opportunity to stray from the formula that the hotel had laid down for dinner. We understand that when going out for a meal, many people, including ourselves would often like to sit in the lounge with pre-dinner drinks and spend time choosing from the menu and eating canapes before being called to the table.

We moved to Pitlochry two years ago and the word was/is that Knockendarroch is one of the two places to eat if you want something special. So we visited for a milestone birthday and certainly understood why people feel the way they do about it. It's one of those big old country houses that is full of charm and character. We were ushered into the lounge for a pre-dinner drink, canapes and perusal of the menu. The set meal is £42 and each section had about four choices. A good sign for me was that I could happily have eaten anything and found the final choice hard. In the event I had scallops, venison and a local berry sweet with lemon curd, gingerbread and blackcurrant sorbet. We have coffee and tablet in the lounge afterwards to complete a relaxing bookend to a special and memorable visit. We felt very sated but not over-full. The staff, as you'd expect, were courteous, professional and polite.

Stayed in the Hotel and ate at the restaurant. Every aspect of our stay was fabulous. The food in restaurant was superb and so was the service. We WILL be back

Quality oozes out of Knockendarroch! Friendly, efficient staff, a delightful dining-room and a top-class chef producing extremely imaginative food. What more could you ask for?

We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant during our 4 night stay in the hotel. The food was simply superb; cooked for you, very tasty and well presented. The staff are helpful, courteous and they go the `extra mile` to ensure all is as it should be. We particularly liked the taking of orders in the sitting room before being taken into the dining room and having coffee and tablet post dinner again in the sitting room.

This small hotel houses a top restaurant. We were complaining about the size of our room and bed until we tried the kitchen.

Me quedé muy impresionado con la calidad y cantidad de esta deliciosa comida disfrutamos. Sólo un restaurante pequeño pero muy por encima de su peso. Yo recomendaría a cualquiera que vaya a Pitlochry!

Nos quedamos muy impresionados con el hotel, las vistas desde el comedor eran fantásticos. El servicio fue muy bueno, la comida estupenda. El extenso menú. Gracias

Als je hier verblijft is het aan te raden om hier ook te eten, maar in het dorpje zijn ook genoeg eetgelegenheden.

My partner and I enjoyed a delicious dinner in the Knockendarroch dining room on the Tuesday evening of our stay. The staff were very friendly and efficient and the food was excellent. The smoked haddock tartlet amuse was a great opener and the crab cake starter and ham hock terrine kept things going nicely. Guinea fowl with a chorizo glaze, dauphinoise potatoes, broad beans and asparagus was thoughtfully presented and perfectly cooked. Dessert was another high point - rhubarb consomme, tonka bean bavarois, raspberries, strawberries and a ginger beer sorbet. This was wonderfully light and refreshing, a perfect end to a superb meal. Tea and coffee in the very attractive, comfortable lounge rounded off the evening. A big thank you to the chefs and FOH team! Roll on breakfast!

Enjoyed an excellent pre-theatre dinner at the hotel's restaurant. The food was well cooked and presented, and the service was quick and friendly. We are returning in August, and are looking forward to another stay.

Whether you stay at the hotel or not, be sure to eat here. The meu changes daily depending upon what is fresh. The chef is amazing.

Stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and got effective price of £50 for dinner for 2. Outstanding quality of food. I had for main courses over 3 nights, venison, guinea fowl and loin of pork. The guinea fowl being my preference. Had soups for 2 nights - fantastic quality. Desserts were also extremely good. Breakfasts were excellent with top notch poached eggs for Eggs Benedict. If I was in another hotel I would definitely try to book a dinner at the restaurant.

We enjoyed our tea time and desert was great. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We would love to go back soon

I had a game terrine to start which was lovely my wife had a crab cake ,fluffy moist almost perfect I followed that with lamb 2 ways and her ladyship had as salmon...beautiful Puddings.. wait and see you won't be disappointed

Having had a glowing recommendation we were looking forward to a first class dinner. Unfortunately ,apart from the sweet Hungarian waitress, the rest was distinctly average. If you aspire to fine dining you need to deliver , not serve bland unseasoned dishes. Having seen the many favourable reviews we must have visited when the chef was off. For a while we were the only diners in the room although it did begin to fill up later. There is a rather curious table for two in one corner that has an aspect into a former cupboard recess. A grown up equivalent of the naughty step perhaps. The lighting is a bit harsh. A bit of a shame all round.

Just had a wonderful stay at Knockendarroch. Our meal was first class and choice superb. Looking forward to next visit.

Visited for a meal for 5. It books up early but the staff were very accommodating and efficient to find a slot for us. Had drinks in the beautifully decorated lounge area before being taken into the restaurant, which has had the furniture updated from the online pics and was really nice.Food was fantastic and it can be hard to find food cooked this well in restaurants with far higher ratings. Beef main course was beautifully tender and superbly put together. Evening completed with a drink by the fire. Would recommend and will be back again.

From canapés in the lounge through 3 course meal in the restaurant and then tea/coffee and tablet back in the lounge, everything was 1st class and thoroughly enjoyed the whole meal. Staff were lovely and service terrific. Deserved 5 out of 5!

The menu was varied & the food was excellent quality, very tasty. I would highly recommend dinner here.

We had dinner both nights during our stay. The food exceeded our expectations and is closer to 3 AA rosettes than two, in our opinion. The menu was completely different each night and we were impressed by the originality of some of the dishes, e.g. the assiette of seafood on beetroot risotto was delicious. We had dined in a Michelin star restaurant the night before we arrived and it's no exaggeration to say that, aside from the high level of presentation and attention to detail that you expect with a Michelin star, the food here was just as impressive.

The Hotel is of highest standard in terms of service personal attention to detail including pristine rooms with character.Al Carte menu food served was a credit to the resident Chef and Breakfast Menu choices were first class.A Hotel not to be overlooked in this area,

Food is excellent. Fresh ingredients cooked to perfection. The scallops melted in the mouth. Breakfast is also great cooked to order. No buffet type breakfasts here.I hate bacon and egg etc kept warm under lights found in many hotels these days.

Very tasty starter and ab excellent main course for both my wife and I. Even though I am a plain eater \I was able to select and adjust the menu to suit me.

We've been to Pitlochry a number of times and have never come across the Knockendarroch. On our recent visit I intended to book somewhere that offered fine dining for my Birthday, after a quick search online this place looked perfect.Our guesthouse reserved us a table as I totally forgot and to be honest was a little put off with a set menu, but after speaking to our guesthouse owner (Andrea at Craigatin House) we soon changed our mind - no problems booking in.Arrived after a 5 mins walk from the main road in Pitlochry, the Knockendarroch was easy to find and looks quite impressive from the outside being one of the finest houses built in the area in the late 1800's. The interior inside is just as nice, very traditional with open fires in the lounge and a very intimate setting for dinner.The staff were all very polite, attentive and nothing was a problem.You can relax on arrival in the lounge with a drink, and canapés are served alongside whilst choosing your selection from the set three course menu, although a little limited, it was absolutely first class and cooked to perfection as would be expected.Your taken through to the dining room and seated in a very plush, intimate environment and really looked after by the staff. My wife struggled to find a dessert from the menu she would like and it was no problem to have something else.We finished off the meal with a coffee in the lounge, and topped off a perfect evening.It was a little more pricey than we usually opt for, however it was a special occasion and the food was perfect. The chef even left a birthday message on my dessert plate as our guesthouse had notified them prior to our arrival - which was a nice touch.Would seriously recommend if your looking for something a little bit more than the run of the mill restaurants along the main drag of pitlochry,

We stayed at Knockendarroch for 2 nights in late September. The 12-room property was wonderful. Warm hosts, beautiful rooms, and absolutely amazing food. Breakfast was from a menu and food beautifully presented. In the evening, we went to the parlor where we enjoyed drinks and canapés, made our dinner orders from the menu, and then were lead into the dining room. It was difficult to make choices, but we did. Our meals were wonderful, the service & presentation impeccable.

See my review on Knockendarroch. The restaurant is excellent.Great food, a good range of wines, intimate surroundings, faultless service and quality presentation.

WE had a great time at the hotel. We went for a mini break at teh end of the season. The hotel was fabulous with a great dining experience. I could not fault anything about the stay. We had a really great time. The colours in the autmn in Pitlochrie and the view from the hotel were great

We had a wonderful experience here. Every course we had, starter, main, dessert was delicious and looked beautiful. It was our anniversary and the owner wrote Happy Anniversary on our dessert plates which was a very nice touch. Overall, highly recommend!

We dined here as part of our overnight stay.Service was great and very friendly staff,food was amazing,lamb to die for and desert fab.Well worth a visit.

We stayed here and enjoyed the hotel very much, the food was a real highlight- tasty, imaginative and well executed. Highly recommended

Amuse-bouches served in the lounge before our evening meal was a lovely touch. The meal itself was excellent and beautifully presented. Service was also excellent. Coffee in the lounge afterwards looking out to a wonderful view was a lovely end to a perfect dining experience!

We has dinner 'in house' whist staying at the Hotel.The food was excellent, well prepared and cooked beautifully. The service could not have been better. The table settings were also first class. At 25 Pounds a head on top of our room charge, plus wine (a reasonably good selection available) the meal represented excellent value for money.

We enjoyed a delicious and romantic meal here in June (and also stayed at the hotel). Every course was amazing and service was superb!

From the appetiser in the lounge to coffee and tablet back in the lounge our evening meal was just perfect. The tastiest meal we have had this year. I had the fish and my partner had lamb, both cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and efficient. We really enjoyed the whole thing. Breakfast was just as delicious. If you want a special meal in Pitlochry, this is the place to go.

Breakfast was great. The dining room is not especially large, but very beautiful. It's like eating in a castle. Ate the eggs Benedict. Homemade hollandais sauce, you could tell. Husband had scrambled eggs he said they were the best he'd had in Scotland. I wish I had enjoyed the coffee more though.

Dinner as good (if not better) than most excellent restaurants in Edinburgh! Setting, taste and service was 1st class. Highly recommended, even if you are staying somewhere else in Pitlochry!

This restaurant surpassed our expectations. The quality of the food and the presentation was outstanding. Our group tried everything on the pre set menu and all raved about it. The servers had a great attitude and made our meal more enjoyable. Probably the best we had during our visit to Scotland

Who would expect that quality in the middle of Scotland?! The food is really stunning. Lots of options, everything is fresh. We simply loved it.

We stayed at Knockendarroch April 2016, had an amazing stay and ate at the restaurant on two occasions. Both nights we had truly memorable evenings. Sitting in the lounge before the meal with a great scottish beer (Ossian) taking in the views with snow falling on the hills, open fires warming us and enjoying delicious canapés was the perfect to start to the evening. The dining room was a very comfortable room again with a relaxing atmosphere and plenty of space. The menu offered something former everybody and the waiting staff were intent on ensuring you enjoy the evening, smiling and courteous throughout. The food was fantastic, really couldn't fault it and we finished with coffee and tablet back in the lounge. At Knockendarroch they obviously care about what they are doing both in the Restaurant and the Hotel and you'd have to go along way to beat it! 10/10 for the whole experience, we will be back, thank you!

Our dining experience at Knockendarroch was good. The staff were very friendly and attentive. It was a set menu with four choices for each course. We were treated to two canapés which were okay, but very simple fare. The meal was of a good standard, but was very overpriced in our opinion, at £42 each without coffee.

Didn't stay here but decided to eat at the restaurant. We were not disappointed. A lovely Scottish welcome , nothing too much trouble . Excellent food , well proportioned courses. Really enjoyed it , clearly has a well trained team in the kitchen turning out food of that quality . Great staff who appeared to enjoy looking after you ( noticed this a lot in Scotland ! ). Thanks for a lovely evening .

My wife and I have stayed here on a number of occasions. The hotel is wonderfully situated and the views across Pitlochry to the hills beyond are fantastic. The accommodation is always clean and welcoming and the food is fantastic - top marks to the team in the kitchen. The staff are very friendly and most accommodating - what more could you wish for? Our favourite element - I know it sounds trivial but getting a flask of real milk for tea and coffee in the room makes all the difference!

I guess that a lot of the year it is nigh on impossible to get a table here if you are not a hotel guest. Lucky for us we were staying and enjoyed a different 3 course menu every night, 4 varied choices per course. The dining experience starts with drinkies and canapes in the cosy lounge with squishy sofas and log fires - and an excellent range of gins and whiskies - before heading for the restaurant for the main even. The food is beauifully presented and tastes as good as it looks, with friendly and efficient service. Well deserving of its 2 AA rosettes.
