CRAIGATIN HOUSE££
( 01796-472478;
www.craigatinhouse.co.uk
; 165 Atholl Rd; s £75, d standard/deluxe £85/95; mid-
Jan-Oct; )
Several times more tasteful than the average Pitlochry lodging, this
noble house and garden is set back from the main road. Chic contemporary fabrics cover-
ing expansive beds offer a standard of comfort above and beyond the reasonable price; the
rooms in the converted stable block are particularly inviting. A fabulous breakfast and
lounge area gives perspectives over the lush garden. Breakfast choices include whisky-
laced porridge, smoked-fish omelettes and apple pancakes. Kids not allowed.

MOULIN HOTEL££
( 01796-472196;
www.moulinhotel.co.uk
; bar mains £9-12)
A mile away but a world apart, this
atmospheric hotel was trading centuries before the tartan tack came to Pitlochry. With its
romantic low ceilings, ageing wood and booth seating, the inn is a great spot for a house-
brewed ale or a portion of Highland comfort food: try the filling haggis or venison stew.
The best way to get here from Pitlochry is walking: it's a pretty uphill stroll through green
fields, and an easy roll down the slope afterwards.

Genuine welcomes
don't come much better than Nancy's, and her place on the main street makes a top Pitlo-
chry pit stop. Three comfortable rooms share an excellent bathroom, and there's an open
kitchen stocked with goodies where you make your own breakfast. A home away from
home and a standout budget choice. She also has a good self-catering apartment with great
views, available by the night.

KNOCKENDARROCH HOUSE ££
( 01796-473473;
www.knockendarroch.co.uk
; Higher Oakfield; d dinner, bed breakfast £188;
)
Top of the town and boasting the best views, this genteel, well-run hotel has a range of
luxurious rooms with huge windows that take advantage of the Highland light. The stand-
ard rooms have better views than the larger, slightly pricier superior ones. A couple of
rooms have great little balconies, perfect for a sundowner. Meals are highly commended
here.
