Two AA Rosette Dining and Highland Views at Knockendarroch Hotel

Dining & Restaurant

Knockendarroch Hotel's restaurant has held two AA red rosettes since 2014. The dinner menu changes daily with locally sourced ingredients and includes vegetarian options. The lounge, with its log fires, offers a selection of malt whiskies, gins, and wines for pre-dinner drinks.

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.

Knockendarroch Hotel has been carbon neutral since 2020 and holds Gold status from Visit Scotland, awarded in 2019. The Good Hotel Guide named it Scottish Hotel of the Year. On-site electric vehicle charging facilities support guests travelling by car.

Location & Surroundings

The hotel sits in 1.5 acres of elevated grounds, five minutes' walk from Pitlochry town centre. It is less than a mile from Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Pitlochry Railway Station, and the Tummel River. Walking, cycling, and fishing routes in Highland Perthshire start from the doorstep, and Edinburgh city centre is a 1-hour 25-minute drive away.

The hotel offers complimentary theatre transport for guests attending Pitlochry Festival Theatre. Packed lunches and early breakfasts are available on request, and special diets can be catered for. This adults-only hotel provides free on-site parking, an allergy-free room option, and a lounge with local art and log fires.
