Stayed here for a night with a dog. Staff are really welcoming and friendly, shout out to Daniel too. We stayed in an annex the room was massive, comfy bed, good powerful shower. Breakfast was great and fresh too. Only 10 minute drive to Pitlochry but there is a bus that stops right outside. Really recommend it!
A really lovely friendly Inn, our room was huge with a sofa and coffee table and plenty of room for our own travel cot. The bathroom was also large with a great shower. Dinner and breakfast were fantastic, well worth a visit for the food alone. The staff were very accommodating and made our first night away with our 4 month old stress free...we all slept great which is an achievement in its own right. We would definitely stay again.
Popped in for a Sunday lunch. Really friendly warm welcome. Amazing selection on the menu, lots of specials which Chef talked through with us. Menu had lots of game - rabbit, venison etc which is always exciting (need to come back to try more) As well as offering classic sunday roast and Festive menu too. Very Prompt service. Enormous portion for the Sunday roast. Particularly liked that they asked how I liked the beef done. Came with ALL the trimmings, tatties, parsnips, carrots, brocolli, sprouts, red cabbage, 2 yorkies & gravy. Very generous with the Beef too. Only suggestion - perhaps offer mustard or horseradish on the side. Clean toilets, plenty parking outside and all really reasonably priced! Much cheaper than Pitlochry. If you haven't been in for a bite to eat go give it a try.
Great location next to main A9, but also central to area if going for a wander. A warm welcome, nice selection of beers and local whisky. Very tasty food and excellent service. Thank you!
I misjudged how close to a busy road this place was when booking so was woken up a few times during the night by traffic. That would really be my only complaint about it. We had a very spacious room that allowed us to spread out with all our luggage and get it sorted out as this was towards the end of our trip. The room was clean and comfortable. We had dinner there and it was absolutely delicious. Breakfast was also great. Staff was super friendly as well. I would stay here again but maybe bring some earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
Clean and a very good bed! Food in the restaurant was also very good. It is a simple B&B but has everything you need while travelling. The service was very friendly and breakfast amazing!
Lovely friendly Staff. Great food and Chef. As with any new owners taking over from previous people, these guys are upgrading this Inn So very very happy with our stay, of 3 nights. We wish the team all the best in the future, and thank you all guys for your hospitality. Mark
The Ballinluig Inn is a real gem of a place. Perfectly situated a minute off the A9, its ‘Superior’ room is warm, clean, and very comfortable. On top of the 5 Star ⭐ accommodation, the food from Paul the Chef is extremely tasty. Really hearty food and Paul the Chef has over 30 years chef experience. In the bar, the staff (and locals) make you wonderfully at home. That is why I have been a repeat customer. Behind the bar, there is also a good selection of proper whiskies. My favourite being the Edradour (that is Scotland’s smallest distillery) which is close enough to visit if staying at the Ballinluig. Top Tip - The Best For Food (and much better than the Grill next door). You will love eating here! Enjoy
