Rooms & Suites
The hotel has 18 individually styled rooms, each with an en suite bathroom and views of Tummel Valley, Ben Vrackie, or the gardens. The Larch House Suite and Garden Rooms sit 30m from the main hotel; Larch House was built in 2017 with timber construction and environmental credentials. The main building is a stone-built Victorian property that retains its original features.
