With a main street location, Strathgarry is a hotel-bar-cafe-restaurant that's all
done pretty well. En suite rooms are snug and have luxurious touches - it's better value if
you can grab one of its regularly discounted online offers rather than paying the rack rates
listed here.

A mile away but a world
apart, this atmospheric hotel was trading centuries before the tartan tack came to Pitlo-
chry. With its romantic low ceilings, ageing wood and booth seating, the inn is a wonder-
fully atmospheric spot for a house-brewed ale or a portion of Highland comfort food: try
the filling haggis or venison stew. A more formal restaurant (mains £12 to £16) serves
equally delicious traditional fare, with excellent game and meat options. The hotel also
has a variety of rooms (single/double £62/77) as well as a self-catering annexe. 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.
