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 covering expansive beds offer a standard of comfort above and beyond the reason-
able 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 in-
clude whisky-laced porridge, smoked-fish omelettes and apple pancakes. Kids not al-
lowed.

Genu-
ine welcomes don't come much better than Nancy's, and her place on the main street
makes a top Pitlochry pit stop. Three comfortable rooms share an excellent bathroom, and
there's an open kitchen stocked with goodies where you make your own breakfast in the
morning. 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.

Higher Oakfield; d dinner, bed & break-
fast £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 High-
land light. The standard 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.

)
Friendly, laid-back and very comfortable, this is a cracking hostel smack bang in
the middle of town, with three- to eight-bed dorms that are in mint condition. There are
also good-value en suite twins and doubles, with beds, not bunks. Cheap breakfast and a
pool table add to the convivial party atmosphere. No extra charge for linen.
