Fantastic place. Gordon and the other staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Gordon's fluent German was a delightful surprise! Rooms are very clean, bedding was comfortable, bathrooms very clean with high shower head. Our stay was very quiet. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious with a great view - they offer great options that have something for everyone. Fresh fruits, yogurts, cereals, porriage, custom full scottish breakfast with blackpudding and all. The grounds are lush with hundreds of flowers. There even was a pheasant in the garden one morning! Would come again.
What can you say . Outstanding Place to stay everything is just fantastic . Lovely warm Welcome from Gordon. Bedroom perfect in every way spotless . Lovely soaps etc in bathroom lovely towels . Breakfast lovely . Staff very friendly . Will be back soon for another stay . Thanks again for everything..
We had a lovely stay, the room was large, bed extremely comfortable and breakfast was fabulous. Warm welcome and great advice given. Thanks for a lovely stay.
This accommodation was perfect. Cleanliness and comfort were spot on. We stayed in the Killiecrankie apartment which was spacious, cosy and comfortable. Huge comfy bed, massive TV everything was great. Breakfast was nice with a lot of choice. The staff were also very nice. I’d definitely recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Pitlochry. The outside spaces would be great on a sunny day. A 15 minute walk to the theatre and near the shops and bars in the Main Street. Give it a go I’m sure you won’t regret it.
I stayed at the Claymore Guest House for 2 nights in late September. I found that on checkout day, I was actually sad to leave, which is not an experience I generally have at lodgings! The owners were super friendly, the location was great for exploring Pitlochry, and breakfast was wonderful. You leave a sheet at reception marking which items you want for the following morning's breakfast, and they're served hot and fresh. It's worlds better than the "continental breakfast" that is typical for lodging breakfast in the States (and that I also received at lodging elsewhere while visiting Scotland). The staff also helped me call a taxi and gave suggestions for local walking routes.
This is a must stay place. The owner and his wife go the extra mile with being great host. We had a bad tire and Gordon, the owner, helped us contact and set up a repair. He informed us of events as well as provided a fantastic breakfast made by his wife. The staff was great as well.
What a wonderful guest house. Room was very spacious and well decorated. Lovely garden to sit out at and relax. Breakfast was plentiful and very very good. An nice easy walk into the town. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Can't wait to come back again
This is our second time staying at The Claymore Hotel. Can’t recommend it highly enough. The staff are so friendly. The rooms are lovely and clean. The breakfast is delicious. If you stay here you won’t be disappointed.
