The Kirkmichael Hotel Pub in Perth & Kinross

I won’t pass comment on the hotel - the pictures speak for themselves. The young man who ran the bar downstairs was pleasant and capable, as was the lady serving the breakfast.

We just got back from a two night stay stayed one night here and came home early here are the reasons Does not look like photos at all it's run down and dirty Found a frog in mens toilet The manager looked smashed and smelled of weed when we arrived Felt conned by the photos on the on their website Do not staying at this place is disgusting HOTEL NIGHTMARE

This is my plee to you. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. Once we arrived we looked at the OUTSIDE of the hotel and immediately knew we had been conned, it looked NOTHING like the website at all. When we entered we could tell the owner had, had more than 2 drinks, then she tells us “it dosnt matter what room I put you it because there all the same”… WE BOOKED A DELUX ROOM BUT THERE ALL THE SAME????? she takes us upstairs which felt like they would break underneath us and had not been cleaned in a while. Then we entered our room, no gun Cabernet like advertised, no pull out dog like advertised, no were to put skis like advertised and it was NOT clean. My bed had black hair in it……IM A BLONDE so it WAS NOT MINE. to top it off the bathroom was disgusting and unclean. AND in the middle of the night when I felt something odd fall onto my face it was PART OF THE WALL THAT CRACKED IN THE NIGHT. DO NOT STAY HERE

NEVER STAY HERE Absolutely shocking and disgusting, filthy sheets. Local people felt sorry for us and managed to help us find somewhere else to sleep. Should be shut down

I warn you, do not book this hotel!!!! I got there with my friends after 3 p.m. check in starts at 2 p.m. our room was not ready. the person who did the check-in told us to wait 2 minutes, went to the room, literally collected dirty towels and said that the room was ready. the bed linen wasn't changed!!! after the previous people, there was no toilet paper, there were no towels, when we asked about them, she said they were dried in the dryer and we should take them. We went to her and asked for clean bedding, that we could even change it ourselves, and she gave it to us, but the bedding was also dirty and she picked it up from the floor in the laundry room. so we told her to refund us the costs because nothing was prepared, she said she wouldn't refund the costs because we had already checked in and it was too late, we should contact booking.com and she told us to leave the hotel!!! now she said it several times and her behavior it was out of place, she was very unpleasant, she looked as if she was under the influence of alcohol or some other substance. !!! unprofessional service and in general I am shocked that this hotel is still under booking. com and is rented to people!!! I wouldn't keep animals there, let alone take money from people, it's a scam!!!! we had to find another place to stay

We were booked into this hotel for 2 nights. Despite standing outside for over an hour phoning and banging on the doors and windows, we got no answer. Our booking agent couldn't make contact either. After 2 hours we were allocated another property nearby which was great. While the Kirkmichael Hotel looks lovely in its photos on the website, in reality from the outside it looks dirty and run down. Some local residents were even surprised we were booked to stay there . We found out later the lady who runs it had "gone for a nap" After reading reviews on here I can see we definitely dodged a bullet.

This is the worst place I have had to stay in. It's absolutely filthy. There's no restaurant, and don't bother asking for breakfast as they couldn't even provide us with a clean cup, and the woman who served us tried twice. The breakfast room was horrible with sticky tables and dirty crockery. The bed linen was not fresh. In fact I'm not sure that the bedding had been changed from their previous victim. I had to ask for towels, they gave me dirty ones. I booked with Booking.com, and I'm in the process of trying to get a refund as this place is not fit to be taking anybody's money.

I hope to share our thoughts about our experiences in trying to stay here. We rang up, last year, to enquire about staying here. We agreed a price and the booking was verbally confirmed. A short while later I called back as I had not received any written confirmation and was told we were in the book and they were looking forward to seeing us. As time went by we made several attempts, in various forms, to make contact with the hotel to gain some formal confirmation, all went unanswered. With a few weeks to go before our stay we were pleased when our phone call was answered only to be told we had no booking. Thank fully were able to book somewhere else, but our attempts to discuss the issue were met with abuse and rudeness from the manager. On our visit to the area we were advised by locals that this happens regularly.

This hotel could be great, but…it wasn’t. We stayed for one night as a short post-Christmas break. I phoned up and spoke to the owner / manager to book and she assured me that the hotel was open and food/drink would be available- as it was very cold weather and the village is quite remote, we didn’t fancy having to drive to get dinner - and that she would be there to meet us when we arrived . We arrived late afternoon and the owner wasn’t there although we were assured by the barman that she would be there soon. We had a couple of drinks and were shown to our room. The room was okay, reasonably clean but a bit ‘tired’ looking. When we came down the owner was there. She introduced herself and proceeded to tell us how unwell she was but that she would make us dinner. We ordered and my husband had a steak. The owner (also chef) then told him that she made an amazing whisky sauce. When the food arrived, there was no sauce and no sign of the owner. It was like she’d disappeared off the face of the earth, including the next morning when she was supposed to cook breakfast but again, didn’t appear. I went looking for her and the whole place was like the Marie Celeste. We eventually went across the road to the village shop / cafe, where we got some breakfast. I genuinely struggled about whether to post this review as the owner was obviously unwell when we visited and it seems a bit mean but we did pay good money for a really disappointing and awkward time. The hotel itself could have been a bit cleaner and definitely needed some TLC. On a positive note, the food that we did have was lovely and the barman that helped us was very helpful but really, this is no way to run a business

Turned up our party of ten (6adults 4 kids) after booking almost a year ago. Was told they had no hot water no heating and electric in only certain parts of hotel! Non the less was offers to stay anyway no idea why? And offered a complimentary drink useful when half of the party was driving! Wouldn’t even recommend visiting her to anyone.

Avoid like the plague(to be honest you might catch it here) turned up no heating no food available no electricity in certain areas. Bedding damp with no clue how to they would end up dry. Offered d us to stay... As if. Said she couldn't contact us due to a mobile number change however email was the same. The place unfortunately looks run down and unloved which is a shame.

Absolutely brilliant delicious food piping hot and served to perfection. Even went out of their way to make sure that they had fish in so that we could have the most delicious fish and chips before we left

Our recent visit to The Kirky Bar left me and my partner utterly disappointed and frustrated. Upon arriving at the restaurant, my partner and I were met with unwelcoming glances from both the staff and the clientele. The atmosphere was tense, and it seemed as though we were intruding on a private gathering rather than walking into a public dining space. The real shocker came when we encountered the manager, who was more interested in delivering an unsolicited lecture rather than ensuring a pleasant dining experience for us. Apparently, the sin we committed was not booking a table in advance. She then went on to say that all paces required booking (as if this was an absolute). After she said her peace she completely ignored us, leaving us to walk out awkwardly without saying anything. The ambience was as horrid as it was unwelcoming, it wasn't kept well (I would say it felt slightly un-hygenic) and the food didn't look particularly appetizing. Me and my partner had just gotten done hiking and went to the first pub we saw, too bad it was The Kirky Bar. Avoid this place like the plague, you will be glad you gave it a miss.

Avoid at all costs! Extremely rude front-of-house staff. Turned up without a reservation at 7:30pm and were told we needed to book. That's fair enough but the manner we were spoken to was appalling. I've honestly never been treated in that way in hospitality. Judging by the other reviews now, I'm glad we didn't get served as the food would have been as bad as the service.

Das ganz Hotel ist lieblos eingerichtet und deutlich in die Jahre gekommen. Büro und einige der Wirtschaftsräume, die man einsehen kann, sehen regelrecht verwahrlost aus. Die Managerin ist bemüht und freundlich, verschläft aber am ersten Tag das Frühstück und taucht am zweiten Tag gar nicht mehr auf, nachdem anscheinend bis spät in die Nacht getrunken wurde. Morgens sind alle Lichter an, alle Tische voll mit alten Getränken, alle Türen auf und in der Mitte des Pubs liegt ein Schuh. Spannend. Würden wir nicht wieder machen.

We did not have a booking and were told they were fully booked. However, the manner was rude , unhelpful, and unwelcoming. No handsoap in toilets. Tables were not clean. Will not be back.

We were staying locally for one night and thought we would try the local pub for food/drinks- we soon regretted that! It is clearly an establishment that only really welcomes locals and we felt completely out of place from the outset. (And I’d like to think we are friendly people). The place is dirty and full of flies-we picked drinks in sealed bottles as we didn’t trust anything else. The ladies toilets were disgusting (so I can only imagine how awful the gents would have been). We should have left at that point but made the bad decision to stay for food. No menus and only a whiteboard on which the choices got changed every few minutes (all items spelt wrong and everything £14.95!) My husbands meal was medicocre at best (frozen scampi and chips) mine was sent back twice and I left without eating anything (which was announced by the female ‘chef’ to the whole pub of locals very loudly - just to make sure everyone was aware). Because the local shop was now closed, my dinner consisted of some crisps and chocolate at our apartment when we walked back. This place should be avoided at all costs-it is a health hazard and the people running it are completely rude and clearly don’t care about customers in the slightest. I have never been so pleased to head home in my life! This is without question the worst establishment we have ever set foot in.

Hotel qui semble abandonné ! Réservé en avril pour juillet, personne quand nous sommes arrivés, fenêtres ouvertes, plein de courrier entassé sur un bord intérieur de fenêtre, lumière dans la salle de restaurant mais des tables salles, non debarassees... Nous sommes partis sans avoir vu personne et sans réponse à nos appels téléphoniques !

The overall experience was quite poor. The staff were dry and abrupt. We would definitely not go back or recommend.

Kamers zijn prima, wel erg verouderd. De hyperactieve eigenares doet het allemaal alleen, is eigenlijk teveel voor één persoon, schoonmaken blijft er daarom bij zo lijkt het, als het bestek al aan de tafel blijft plakken. Ze is met alles tegelijk bezig, maar vergeet daardoor het nodige. De bar is ranzig en moet nodig een schoonmaakbeurt.

Booked for dinner here. Arrived but no-one serving behind the bar. Sat down and waited. A busy friendly woman appeared and took the order for our drinks and a little while later, our food. Overall, an uncomfortable atmosphere and unpleasant experience. The food when it arrived was pretty poor. No cutlery offered until requested. Won't be returning anytime soon.

Went in for a few drinks on Wednesday evening, great banter and craic with the staff and locals. Went back the next evening for a meal and it was delicious. Also dog friendly pub.

I interacted with 2 members of staff during this stay, both ladies were very pleasant and helpful. Firstly at check-in and secondly when asking for towels. However, if you are unfortunate enough to arrive before the front door of the hotel has been opened (after...

Absolutely terrible customer service from entering the pub, as that’s all it really is, a smelly dirty auld pub, with five disgusting filthy bedrooms. Food was not nice at all, and my breakfast was the worst I’ve had in oven 40 years. I couldn’t even...

Having booked table for 7.45pm we waited and waited and waited at 9.15 pm a mediocre plate of food arrived in between choice words from customers and owners . Needless to say we won’t be back

Very pleasant bar atmosphere, friendly staff, good food, helpful with young children. Good choice considering it's a very small, isolated village.

I've never been disgusted and offended by a meal out before. This so-called 'restaurant' and 'manager' succeeded in achieving both. After waiting 55 minutes in a near empty restaurant a plate with alleged wild boar sausage appeared smothered in a thick gravy accompanied by 3...

We enjoyed our stay for the most part, however the hotel is now run by just one lady (the owner I believe) who, bless her, does absolutely everything - from making up the rooms to cooking. She does a great job but sadly, had we...

Starting with a positive the owner was very pleasant and tried her best considering she did everything herself with no extra staff. The food was great and homely and the prices were reasonable. I stayed here for a few nights, the rooms could definitely do...

We stayed in the Kirkmicheal apartments for a weekend and visited the snug bar in the hotel next door on our first night. We immediately received a warm and friendly welcome, the owner Amanda taking time from her busy night to welcome us and chat....

Staff were pleasant and trying their best but a fairly disastrous evening. Took a long time to get our food, lots of things not available, radio blaring throughout the meal, food ok. They did apologise for the delays due to being short staffed but there...

Stayed here for a few days with my wife and kids. Don't like to judge a book by a cover but we did on this occasion and we were wrong, massively. Yes the hotel could do with an upgrade however that a side the staff...

Found off the beaten track about 12miles from pitlochry - the little town of Kirkmichael is such a beautiful area. The hotel sits directly on the main street. The hotel is a traditional b&b. It is in need of some renovations, but the lovely staff...

Was staying at a nearby hotel and was recommended this place in the info pack. Arrived at 1730 and spoke to a lady behind the bar about having a meal. She checked the time and informed us that it meals were served from 6pm. We...

This hotel is off the beaten track in a pretty village. We stayed overnight with our dog on the way to Nairn. Our room faced the road and was spacious with a huge double bed and a single. It was clean and the bathroom was...

Wonderful tasty food. I had an enjoyable lunch here. The staff were very professional. The waiter, Jack, was very good. Would go there again.

I don’t understand how these so called hotels are able to open as soon as I walked into this place it had a smell that was disgusting like no bins had been emptied for a while and that the inside of the hotel was disgusting...

We ate here every night for 5 nights. Not a single bad meal. Limited menu but it means they can excel in what they do. Gets busy so booking Recomended. Excellent selection of whisky and Gin.

A great value stay, everything we needed. Close to Glenshee Ski resort. Nice food in the restaurant and a good breakfast included! Friendly staff too.

21 of us went out for a meal and Gary laid on a buffet which was brilliant. Him and his staff were on the ball the whole night and looked after us very well. Had a great night food, company and atmosphere wise, can not rate the food and staff highly enough.

After buying a voucher for my son, they refused to allow him to use it when lockdown ended. They said it had to be used in 2 weeks which wasn't possible. I had to complain to Living Social and the hotel then said he could use it after the summer season, he booked it. After phoning yesterday to find out if he had to book the afternoon tea, which was included in the deal, he was told they didn't do afternoon teas. Strange as it was in the deal. He then asked if he could trade for part of the evening meal and he was told no. The lady owner has put the phone down on me then refused to take calls, the same thing has happened with my son. Now they don't want to go there as every contact has been unpleasant. The male owner moaned over the phone about the deL having to be carried over. Shocking experience all round, avoid at all cost.

Great stay while doing Cateran trail. Spacious clean rooms and good food in the restaurant. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Obviously they are struggling with the usual staff and delivery issues but doing everything they can to overcome these aspects. We really enjoyed our stay. Great value for money and food is definitely a step up from Pub Grub, with quite an extensive and varied menu. The Kirky pies well worth a go.

An absolute gem with exceptional staff. Jordan and Poppy couldn’t have done anymore to make us welcome. They provided excellent service at all times even during busy periods. We ate there every night of our holiday. Could not recommend enough. Gary is an awarding winning chef and every meal we had was outstanding. Everyone at the hotel, including the locals, were so friendly could not recommend enough. Will definitely be back.

We recently stayed for 1 night at the Kirkmichael Hotel, and ate dinner there on a separate night. The staff were friendly and helpful, and our room was very nice and comfortable. Breakfast was freshly cooked and tasty. Dinner was good and plentiful, although service was a little confused. The public areas of the hotel are a little worn, and could d with a refresh, but this s a decent place for an overnight stay, or a shot break.

Very good range of food of excellent quality in comfortable surroundings. Lovely village restaurant. Improvements and/or training needed for staff.One waitress had her mask on her chin most of the time, the others did the basic service without any chat, pleasantaries or any indication that they were doing the job out of choice.

We had a very nice evening meal here. They are very dog-friendly, and seated us in the bar which is a typical Scottish village pub - although we thought the food was better than you might expect. Good choice of regular meals - I had the venison - and also a full vegetarian menu with vegan options. Success

Visited here a few times when staying locally on vacation. Very friendly and helpful staff, good selection of beers and locally made gin, plus food is well made and sensibly priced.

We had booked the Kirkmichael Apartments next door for a family get together for a surprise 21st birthday celebration for our daughter. We booked dinner at the Hotel for two nights and can't thank Amanda and the team for being so accommodating over the weekend to help make the occasion special in the current climate. Helped with decorations, we had our own space and the food and drink were top notch. Very busy local pub and hotel with a good mix of locals and visitors which I personally like to see, very dog friendly which is also a plus for me.

So...where is my first review after nearly 18 months of not traveling further than my local supermarket? The warmly-welcoming Kirkmichael hotel on the edge of the Cairngorms in Central Scotland. Amanda and her team make this gloriously local hotel, bar and restaurant the centre of the village. Comfortable, clean and cheerful, the hotel is on the historic, 64 mile Cateran Trail and is a useful starting point for a half dozen shorter hikes through forests and past lochs. An extensive selection of Whiskies and an excellent dinner menu make it well worth an extended stopover.

Food was great, had a great laugh with bar staff, nice and relaxing, service was prompt, prices were good

Ate here while staying at the nearby Strathardle Inn while walking the Cateran Trail. We had pre-booked, which was just as well as the place was busy with tourists and locals.The owner (or at least the woman in charge) was doing a great job keeping everything going and keeping everyone happy more or less single-handedly - waiting at tables, running the bar and generally managing the situation really well despite the lack of staff. After a G&T at the bar we were shown to our table. There was a good choice of food and once we had chosen it came remarkably quickly considering the staffing shortage and how busy they were. It's pub type food but none the worse for that, and decent quality, quantity and very reasonably priced.I would have given five stars were it not for the group of three or four loud, sweary men who'd obviously come in straight from work. I know pubs had just opened and they were letting off steam, which is fair enough, but some of the language was not on given the number of children and families eating in the restaurant. I know it is probably their local but I think they should have been quietly asked to tone it down.Overall, however, a good experience and well done to the owner for keeping it going!

We stayed on a last minute break with 2 children. The staff were lovely and the room was spotless and spacious for 4 of us. However, I do feel there are improvements needed as this hotel could be a really lovely place to stay.The only thing that let our stay down was the food and service at dinner time. I don't want to criticise too much as I realise many places are trying to get themselves back on their feet following the impact of covid. The food was a bit bland and tasted a bit processed, although the soup was very good. Our waiter didn't really appear to be switched on and we had to ask a few times for different things, i.e. item missed off the order, forgetting to bring cutlery. They also started to get a bit short with us when we asked for things they had forgot. The breakfast, though tasty was luke warm, as was the coffee and tea. There aren't many choices for kids, perhaps pastries or fruit/yogurt may be a good idea. Good bar with lots of choices.

We were late to the area and managed to get a booking in this busy pub/hotel. The landlady was lovely and kind. Our food was honest pub fayre that filled us up nicely after a very long day. The cask ales were good and the overall cost was very reasonable.

We went for a meal whilst on holiday. Both meals were fabulous, very good quality and value. The service was excellent and the atmosphere in the pub was really good.

This was our local when we stayed in a cottage in the village. Very friendly staff, who wore masks at all times. There is a one way system, and masks must be worn when you get up & move around the pub. Some locals were bending the rules, but I suppose the new rule of table service only will be resolving that. Hope to be back soon. We will try & not drink yiur pub dry of beer next time

4 of us visited this very popular Hotel for an evening dinner and were pleasantly surprised at the warm welcome and excellent meal. They were very conscious of social distancing etc. Well worth a visit.

We visited the Kirky bar and restaurant whilst staying locally at the beginning of August. The food was outstanding and the portions were huge! I had the fish and chips and my partner had the steak pie and we highly recommended both! Besides the food what really made this place were the staff- we were served by both Rachel and Gabrielle, they were both so friendly and made us feel welcome as well as being able to answer all the questions we had on the area. Over our whole holiday this was our favourite dinner and we would highly recommend!

We were walking the Cateran Trail and arrived in Kirkmichael soaking wet on a day of constant rain. Rather than wlld camp, as we planned, the hotel looked liked a better option and we were glad we decided to stay. The staff were all very friendly and happy to accommodate a couple of sodden hikers with large rucksack. They were careful with COVID hygiene precautions.Don't be put off by the public areas that could do with a coat of paint. Our room was large, very clean, comfortable and warm enough to dry out all our wet clothes. Dinner was very good (fish and chips) and a couple of pints of Ossian went down very well. Breakfast the following day was also good and an excellent start to a long days walking.I'm very happy to recommend the hotel to anyone who finds themselves in Kirkmichael.

Just been for first post lockdown meal here and it was delicious. The portions were big, the food was tasty and the staff were very friendly. Would thoroughly recommend. An old style pub with good home cooking. Thanks!

My brother, my 6yo and I stayed here for the first 3 nights post-COVID. The staff were great - all COVID-trained - and very kind and helpful, particularly Gary and Amanda. The location and set-up were perfect for us, with excellent cooked breakfasts in the breakfast-room and dinners in the bar / beer garden. Kirkmichael is a lovely wee village well placed for exploring the surrounding area - we cycled round Enochdhu / Kindrogan / Straloch, and drove to Killiecrankie / Glen Tilt / Queens View. A very pleasant place to be as lockdown eased.

We ate here tonight after a days skiing in Glenshee, the staff were great and the food was delicious!we ordered a mixture of dishes from fish pie to venison sausages and I had the Balmoral chicken. Hats off to the chef and his staff for some super tasty home made Food!

Visited this little gem while staying in the area ,from the moment we walked in with our dog we were made to feel very welcome ,had a table by the open fire ,food was excellent and would recommend a visit if passing

Jumped at the chance of a veggie pie and it was delicious. Apparently the meat pie was equally good. Good service.

A great pub with a great welcome. Walked in late one evening and immediately got involved in a whisky tasting. Was also dragged into the local pub quiz...did really badly but great fun. Was staying locally and was delighted to find this gem.

Up from Leeds with 2 pals for the weekend. Had a few beers & a carvery Saturday 14th. The place was electric, great crowd. WOW the Carvery, i can say with hand on heart it was 2nd to none, absolutely off the chart.👌

Really great place for a relaxing two night stay. Room was big and clean. Pub was well stocked and warmed by a wood fire. Food, typical pub fayre, was excellent as was breakfast. As a vegan I had much more choice than I was expecting. Staff were always present and were helpful and welcoming. Great walks north and south along the Cateran trail.

Just spent 2 nights at the Kirkmichael Hotel with my wife on our way up to Aviemore. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Very friendly and helpful staff. Food excellent, and a great community atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend and we shall definitely be back!

Stayed in the hotel for the night after visiting the area in September and enjoying it last time, large comfortable rooms, had a great bar meal and good ale, really good breakfast. Nice cosy pub with log fire and a good atmosphere. Dog friendly. Will definitely return.

A proper Pub with a proper Bar Menu. Busy for a Wednesday night but welcoming, friendly and warm! Extensive Gin and Malt lists, nice gantry and a good pint. Food was tasty - not necessarily homemade but probably home prepared and,either way, reflected in the prices. Most enjoyable and would return and will certainly recommend.

Ate there all three nights - on our stay in Kirkmichael - and on each occasion had lovely meals, all reasonably priced.It was certainly very busy every night we were there - so we'd recommend you book. Everyone very friendly - even the dogs! (a dog friendly experience!)

Haddock chips and the best tartare sauce we have ever tasted. Only one chef on and place busy even though a Monday night. Lovely fresh food and great value for the cost. Cosy nice pub with nice atmosphere. Will be back

We called in The KirkMichael Arms for supper.We had our little doggie with us,so we're pleased we could take her into the bar with us.The food was excellent and the same menu as the main restaurant.The staff were friendly and helpful Looking forward to returning.

We visited for an evening meal, 2 adults and 2 children. The service was very good if not a little over attentive at times, but they meant well. The food was very good and arrived quickly. Pudding last were also good. All reasonably priced. Would recommend.

We were staying in Kirkmichael and had a couple of meals here.

We had 2 great nights here, whilst staying in kirkmichael for 4. The food was exceptionally good - hot, delicious and great portion sizes. The staff were very accommodating with us and our dog. A must visit if in the area.

Staying near and a short drive arrived here, managed to park in the small car park.

We visited the restaurant one evening whilst away on holiday, and it was absolutely fantastic! The fish pie was one of the best I’ve ever had and the venison burger with blue cheese was absolutely stunning. Proper homemade onion rings and huge portions of everything! Great service and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit, we will definitely go back when next in the area!

We stayed nearby and stopped off for a cold beer after being out for a walk. Nice outdoor decking area to sit in the sunshine or you can sit out the front by the roadside.

was staying nearby, popped in for food and drinks.Good customer service from Gary and his staff. The Cullen skink soup and fish pie was excellent. Would definetely return if in the area again.

I stayed here for five nights while doing the Cateran Trail. Gary arranged pick up and drop off times for each of our walks and supplied packed lunches. We were even able to arrange a detour to the local gin distillery. My friends and I really enjoyed the homemade, tasty food. The fish pie was delicious and it was great to see so many veggie options available. Our room was comfy and warm which was handy as it was very rainy.

We visited this hotel and number of times during our stay in Kirkmichael and were never disappointed with the food or the service. Always so friendly and helpful and food was delicious. Well worth stopping for a meal and a drink if you are passing through.

We were a party of 19 walking friends from the Midlands, with some difficult dietary needs, but the restaurant owner and her staff were more than helpful. We had a lovely meal and very pleasant evening

The hotel was a lovely warm wee place in a pretty little village. The food was great with the steak pie getting top marks. The staff and locals were very friendly and good company. Dogs made very welcome too.

Eight if us stayed at the Kirkmichael Hotel when doing the Cateran Trail. Gary and his staff could not have been more helpful or welcoming. The hotel arranged for baggage transfer and even offered to pick us up when we had gone slightly off the path. The food was very good and hearty. Our rooms were large, comfortable and quiet. We will return with the dog and do some more walking in the area.

I had booked a table for 16 for evening meal and hotel were very helpful assisting us to preorder as it was May Day weekend . Waiting staff were friendly and very attentive and the food was delicious! - would definitely recommend this place - we were staying at the apartments next door - perfect weekend !

My wife and I stopped by for an authentic Scottish lunch and were not disappointed. The haggis was fantastic, as was the apple pie with ice cream for desert. The service was friendly and fantastic.

I arrived at the Kirkmichael Hotel needing a safe haven and a place to recover.

My husband and I visited the kirkmichael hotel for a late lunch with our dog, the food was lovely, the chips especially really tasty, good homemade pub food and well priced considering the big portions. Our dog was made very welcome by the owners and even got a couple of biscuits. Very friendly people, we'll definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Very central for walking in the Cairngorms.A very welcoming and friendly service and the is very tasty!! Thanks guys for a great weekend.

eaten A few times here and not been disappointed yet. Carver is exceptional when on.. loads of choice.

If you are looking for a relaxed stay with a warm welcome and great food this is the place for you. We booked in case we could ski but on the premise that if there was no snow we would still come. Great decision, there are lots of walks nearby and we (including our 15 year old) relaxed and enjoyed our night here. Gary checked out the skiing on the Monday and offered to call ahead and check for sure(we could have got some skiing in but weren't organised enough in the end). Great breakfast too. Hoping to come back when there is snow. It's a gem.

Have now used this for evening meals at least five times and have not yet been disappointed.

Had a great one night stay at the Kirkmichael Hotel, this included a brilliant 2 course meal and excellent breakfast. Staff were also excellent and rooms very clean tidy and warm and excellent wifi. Thanks again to the staff for an excellent short stay.

We’ve had a fantastic time at the Kirkmichael this weekend. Myself and my wife were looking to relax after a particularly hectic period and this has been ideal.

My wife and I stayed for two nights in the Kirkmichael Hotel. Our room was well-appointed and included a variety of hot drinks and some biscuits.We enjoyed dinner in the bar. The food was cooked to order. It was plentiful and delicious.

We ate here 3 times during our stay in Kirkmichael and it was great every time. Between the 9 of us we sampled pretty much everything from the menu. The fish and chips are outstanding, really light batter and the chips are to die for! The venison pie and haddock mornay specials on our last visit were fantastic! Great hospitality from the owners who made us feel very welcome!

We are really glad we found the Kirky. It reminded us so much of many superb English pubs which provide excellent Sunday lunches. We were lucky that we were there on the last Sunday in the month when the carvery was on. The roasts were splendid as were all the accompaniments. Highly recommend this pub/restaurant. Perhaps if the good news spreads then every Sunday might be possible.

stayed here 1 night as a base for Pitlochry and the Enchanted Forest. what a lovely wee hotel in a lovely wee village. Rooms were excellent, with everything you need. Lovely and clean and tidy.

Lovely and cozy country Pub/Restaurant. Child friendly. Very friendly staff. The food was fantastic, unfortunately not everything on the menu was available, but still plenty of choices. The Restaurant itself was very welcoming and the service could not have been better! Highly recommended!!!

Stayed on our way to Aberdeen. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely size room and nice bar. Breakfast was excellent. All in all very good.
