The 130-room Fisher’s Hotel is a mid-range property
that sits midway on Pitlochry’s main street, which is filled with shops and restaurants. A warm and inviting atmosphere is
coupled with traditionally decorated cozy interiors -- think fireplaces, lounges, and such old-world details as damask wallpaper, brass
chandeliers, and gilt framed paintings. Rooms, which range in size from Single Rooms to Family Rooms to the Caledonian Room with a large lounge area, are decorated in a more contemporary style than other parts of the hotel, and include flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi (though guests have complained about spotty Internet connections). Breakfast is included in the room rate, and is served daily in the hotel’s restaurant, where guests can have dinner as well. The hotel also has two bars, which serve a variety of pub food for lunch and dinner in a more casual
atmosphere. The area is full of similar
properties, such as the Scotland's Hotel & Spa or the Moulin Club, and travelers might want to compare rates.

Scene
Traditional hotel with inviting, traditional interiors in Pitlochry
Fisher’s Hotel occupies a slice of prime real estate in
Pitlochry, situated midway on the town’s main street, amid lovely gardens
and immaculate green lawns nestled into an interior courtyard. Traditionally
decorated interiors are cozy and inviting, dotted with elegant antique pieces
and details like brass chandeliers, gilt-framed oil paintings, damask
wallpaper, and plush curtains framing large windows. The lounge is cloaked in
rich crimson hues paired with cream and muted gold, with lots of seating filing
the spacious room. Burgundy chairs that match the leaf-patterned carpet surround small round tables throughout the space, and a stone
fireplace lends an air of coziness. The restaurant is similarly furnished in
maroon hues and patterned carpets, but damask wallpapers are replaced by floral
and toile designs and tables are topped in crisp, white tablecloths. The hotel’s
two bars offer a much more casual atmosphere, one full of comfy
leather couches, dim lighting, and a sleek wooden bar, and the other providing
a homey pub-style vibe with wooden furnishings, a cozy log-burning fireplace,
and pool tables.
Location
Centrally located on Pitlochry’s main street, close to restaurants, shops, and train station
The hotel is conveniently located right at the center of the
small Victorian town of Pitlochry. Situated on Atholl Road, the town’s main
street, the property is surrounded by several restaurants, bars, and shops, and is within a five-minute walk of the train and bus stations. The town
is surrounded by scenic countryside, hills, and mountains, and makes for a great
base for exploring the Perthshire Highlands. Travelers seeking a dose of nature
or outdoor activities will find many hiking and walking trails in the area, as
well as golf at the nearby Pitlochry Golf Course (a three-minute drive or
15-minute walk from the hotel). Other nearby sights include beautiful Blair Castle
(a 13-minute drive) and the Blair Atholl Distillery (a 12-minute walk).
Rooms
Clean rooms with contemporary decor
The rooms, which have traditional touches in the moldings and wallpaper, are more contemporary than other parts of the hotel. The spaces vary in
size, from small Single Rooms to Family Rooms to the Caledonian Room, but all are tastefully decorated with
attractive patterned wallpaper accent walls and blond wood furniture. Modern
wooden headboards with built-in nightstands and lamps frame beds topped with
crisp white linens, and match the work desks and wardrobes. All rooms have
flat-screen TVs, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and free
Wi-Fi; most have small lounge areas. Rooms have views of either the street or lovely hotel gardens. Standard
bathrooms have shower/tub combos or walk-in showers, heated towel racks, and come with basic toiletries.

more relaxed and casual atmosphere and serve lunch and dinner, plus various light bites

locals and guests alike, and has six TV screens covering all major sporting
events, as well as two pool tables, plus live music on weekends. There’s
