Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Old Mill Inn, nestled just off Pitlochry's Main Street, is appreciated for its convenient location near the town center. Guests frequently highlight the spaciousness and comfort of rooms like the deluxe double Room 12, and the availability of free parking to the rear is a definite plus. Many enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the bar, especially with the log burning stove, and appreciate the live band on Friday and Saturday nights, although some in rooms above the bar have noted the sound travels. The freshly cooked breakfast, with its delicious choices, is consistently praised, making for a memorable stay.
