BUG review
Just 15 minutes up the hill from the station, this old mansion is located in lovely grounds. The dorms are all en suite and are clean and tidy. There’s a TV room and a quiet room and, if the weather is fine, places to sit outside. Guests get 50% off Pitlochry Festival Theatre tickets during the summer – a great bargain for one of Scotland’s great theatres.

We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.

Top class hostel acommadation, it used to be a guesthouse so the facilities are great, rooms are all small. I visited with my daughter and we got an en-suite room for the standard dorm cost. Clean, tidy with friendly staff. Okay it's up a bit of a hill but the walk is good for you. Although it didn't affect me, I wonder why some SYHA hostels still have a lockout time

During 3 weeks of staying in Scottish and English hostels, this one was by far our favourite. Take the walk to Moulin and Edradour - it's worth it.

This is a very comforatble hostel. Very clean rooms and kind staffs. Scottish hostels are normally very cost-reasonable and this hostel is one of them. One small drawback is its location. I got lost at the very first.

A really great hostel with friendly staff, great kitchen and wonderful room. I strongly recommend it. And it does not cost a lot of money
