My wife and I loved this place. It was very charming and the staff were great. The food was excellent as we had dinner and breakfast. We had the small plates for dinner because the restaurant was booked full but our small plate dishes were excellent. Quite frankly I would have the small plates for dinner rather than a full dinner. I would definitely go back to this place and recommend to friends traveling to Scotland

A stunning retreat in the Scottish Highlands. Beautifully appointed, stunning meals and very friendly staff. And a big bonus: meeting the pet highland cattle Shamus and Seòras (pronounced Shaw-us) in Gaelic; John and George in English.

Two nights pre wedding event in Pitlochry.

We can’t say enough good things about our two night stay. Staff were so incredibly welcoming, kind and thoughtful. We had dinner the first night and wished we could have done the second too but had theatre tickets. Food was 5* both in flavour and presentation. We had the pleasure of meeting Ann the owner over dinner and the chef that evening , Charlie.
Post dinner we sat by the fire where front of house immediately added more firewood.
We also had the pleasure of meeting Angus, Ann’s son who was a funny and helpful young man.
I am thrilled that this is where we started our trip.

The only let down was really the bathroom as it is more of a wet room, everything gets wet so if you are sharing the room/bathroom with someone else it is an issue. Plus the tiles that were used in the wet room should have been none slip. It is a lovely hotel, but i don't think the bathroom plan was thought through.

Carefullly decorated rooms. The Manse is in a beautiful location with access to walking hikes throughout, including the Blair Castle. Breakfast was very good and in a beautiful glass room.
Our room was one of several in a row in the “enclosed garden”, named after tree species. Although very pretty, I’m not a fan of the type of linear structure, and felt the walls were a bit thin as we could hear our neighbors easily (snoring, talking) We were exhausted at the end of the day and it didn’t interfere with our sleep.

Idilic Retreat in Cairngorm National Park

We stayed for 1 night DB&B mid-week having seen the hotel on a Scottish TV programme. We were not disappointed, the setting is lovely, all the staff and family very friendly so it almost feels like home from home. There is an extensive gin and whisky drinks selection, and the food is simply wonderful. Good choice and beautifully prepared by their renowned chef. We enjoy fine dining regularly and we will be back with foodie friends. We had chosen to stay in a Garden Room rather than in the main building and it was immaculate. Imaginatively decorated like the rest of the hotel in a contemporary Scottish style without the need for yards of tartan yet still very in keeping. We were lucky with the weather and were able to sit outside our room in the evening taking in the tranquillity and view. We will be back!

Scottish luxury boutique at its best

Excellent hotel. Very Scottish. Luxury hotel, products and service is so friendly. Food is excellent. Surroundings is so beautiful and quiet. A great location for exploring, walking, shopping at House of Bruar or booking the segways at Blair Atholl. Magical!

A bit of a let down

The hotel was in a lovely scenic location , very clean and tidy
But we found a little over expensive for what it was

Beautiful historic property that has been thoughtfully updated with clean, stylish rooms and a world class restaurant. The staff was friendly and helpful and the owner checked in at dinner to make sure we had everything we needed!

Incredible evening at the Old Manse of Blair

Spent an incredible evening at the Old Manse of Blair. The owner was attentive and went out of his way to make my girlfriend and me feel welcome. Dinner was fantastic and the service from the waitress was top notch. The \"design room\" was a bit small but very comfy bed and modern design.

Lovely relaxing stay

We recently stayed here for the first time and it won’t be our last! The staff were so lovely and attentive, they made us feel so welcome and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. The evening meal and breakfast were both absolutely delicious. The building itself is so beautiful and we could easily have sat by the fire all day and night. I’d highly recommend a visit here.

The Old Manse of Blair was fantastic! For starters, we missed our flight into Glasgow and had to drive in from Edinburgh. We contacted the host and he was willing to stay late, beyond regular check in hours, for us to arrive. We stayed in one of the outbuildings. It was beautiful and comfortable. Eat breakfast at the Manse. It was fresh and delicious. And honestly, those cows- they are so cute! I would definitely stay here again.

A really personal and discreet place to stay with history and charm. Every member of staff were happy, cheerful, helpful and courteous. A credit to the team. A great welcome on arrival, our room, the Minister's Study had a feeling of warmth and history, well equipped for our needs. With quality amenities, quality iron and ironing board and a quality unfixed hairdryer. Pre drinks in the drawing room was comfortable with log fire then beautiful tasty meal in the Orangery. The gardens were beautifully kept and even the Highland Cows were friendly! A wonderful stay and would recommend.

A lovely stay

Lovely hotel in a beautiful part of the country. Check-in was a little odd, but we quickly got our keys, and checked into our lovely room. It was clean; well furnished, and the bathroom was a great size. We appreciated having a little outdoor space to sit as well. We enjoyed a glass of wine in front of the lovely main house in the sunshine.
Small niggles - there’s no fridge in the room, our bathroom (the aspen) has some water damage on the ceiling, and the tv wouldn’t connect to the hotel WiFi. All pretty minor, but worth noting given the price point of the room.

Very clean. Food generally very good but not quite 5 star (root veg on 1 night very very al dente and duck very salty but otherwise good). Staff very attentive yet not overbearing, which is a difficult balance to achieve. Very expensive. Especially expensive in my view is £40 per night to allow a dog to stay. Nothing provided for dog - just \"allowed to stay\" for that price. Other similar hotels in which we have stayed have actually made us feel welcome with the dog, rather than just being tolerated; eg they have provided titbits, or a dark towel for the dog. Even a water bowl would be appreciated.On average the other hotels have charged around £20 per night for the dog, so half the fee at the Old Manse. So overall a very pleasant stay marred only by my comments re the price which would be ok for a truly 5 star experience. This was 4-4.5 stars in my view. So nearly there but not quite. Final thing would be to please finish the car park and access to the new block. There is poor lighting up the steep bank to the car park and the covering is loose old tarmac clinker. OK for us, and that didn't detract from a nice stay, but it could be a slip hazard for anyone not totally secure with their footing.

I didn't want to leave!

The grounds were absolutely gorgeous - and it was a nice bonus that there was a horse, a mini pony, and a few Highland cows right on the property. We had dinner at the Orangery restaurant and it was incredible, the best food I had in Scotland.

Lovely

Lovely stay, excellent dinner. Falls of Bruar nearby well worth a look.

A couple of little things that I'd mark down 1/2pt for though: £7.50 (before service charge) for a bottle of water is a lot - its not Ibiza! And an 18% service charge is a bit presumptuous - its not New York either!
I'm happy to splash out on great hotels and restaurants but I don't like being nickel-and-dimed at every turn.

Some feedback to Hotels.com - it could've been made clearer that breakfast was not included in our booking. It would have actually been less expensive if we booked direct.

Having seen the owner respond in a passive aggressive way to any negative reviews I am a little reluctant to share my thoughts! However I rely on reviews when choosing a place to stay.

The Old Manse of Blair is in a beautiful setting - the old house is stunning and the new annexes are in great condition. The staff are friendly (if a little too formal for our taste).

Why the average score? For me, this property just didn’t hit the mark at the level of luxury country boutique they are striving for. It’s a perfectly comfortable place - and at a lower per night rate my review would be different - but at current rates it just doesn’t hit the mark. It’s the minor details, and as always this will be highly subjective; the details for include:
1. There are no day curtains in the annexe rooms. This means that in the morning, you can choose to lie in bed in the dark (with the curtains closed) or have them open and anyone walking past can see in….
2. Showers would benefit from a shelf of some sort to put toiletries on (rather than the floor).
3. Fake flower decorations in dining room. Should more handmade / bespoke like the feather mirror.
4. The food is not up to the prices. Nicely presented for sure - but lacks flavour / seasoning. Breakfast in particular was poor quality.

I know all of this is minor (aside from food). There are other little niggles - but we don’t have room to include!

This place has huge potential. I hope owners take feedback in spirit intended).

There were several things about this property that made us unhappy. The marketing pictures and information on Expedia showed a king bed, a couch, and windows in the room. However, we received a twin/double bed, no windows at all, and no couch. When we asked the property, we were told “it was an upgrade since it is a historic property and we would be closer to the parking”. Even if this were the case, weren’t we supposed to be asked about this??

To add to this, there’s a train track literally on the roof and trains going by frequently when the whole room vibrates literally; the room was super hot; and the service was average at best.

The only good part about this property is the area around which is pretty. But that doesn’t justify the price. Please avoid this place, and do yourself a favor.
