We had a super stay at The Acarsaid. Big Karen was a wonderful host, so friendly and kind. We were upgraded a room and given quality service and had a lovely relaxing stay. Can't recommend enough, we will be back! Thanks a lot, Immy and Cammy. Xx

Having missed our holiday in October due to very bad weather, the Acersaid kindly allowed us to postpone our visit by up to 6 months. We were made to feel so welcome on arrival. Shout out to Big Karen and Taylor for a lovely stay. Room was amazing with a massive bathroom. My wife loved the bath! Breakfast grill was delicious and the sitting area with the fire and bar were great for having a few drinks in the evening. Will be back!

After being apprehensive about booking a solo trip I must say having just left this hotel I needn't have worried. 'Big Karen' was an incredible host and would do anything to help you and make your stay the best it could be, I know if she wasn't there I wouldn't have had the same experience in Pitlochry as I did. Huge asset to the team. Room was lovely, clean and with big windows overlooking the beautiful hills of Pitlochry. Breakfast was delicious and with plenty choices too. Location was perfect, far enough away not to be disturbed by the night life but close enough to walk to and from town. Huge thanks to Karen for making my solo trip one I won't forget 😁

What a fantastic find, girlfriends Xmas get together. We booked the triple room which was perfect . From arrival to leaving Big Karen could not have been more helpful. And the breakfast elf was also great! Definitely recommend for hospitality, comfort and value for money .

From the moment we stepped into the hotel until the moment we left , we were made to feel very welcome by the wonderful Karen and her lovely son Taylor. Nothing was too much trouble for them . We had drinks by the fire before heading out for the evening, and the sparkly Christmas decorations and lights added to that special feeling . Our room was warm , comfortable and spotlessly clean . Breakfast was delicious and hearty . We feel like we have made a new friend in “ Big Karen” as she likes to be known and are planning to return to stay in the springtime to explore more of the area around pretty Pitlochry .

We've stayed at the Acarsaid a few times over the years, however, it is some time since our previous visit, so we were wondering if it would still be as great. We needn't have worried as on our arrival there she was waiting for us, Karen, with the same smiling welcome as always and to put the cherry on the cake, she remembered us This woman really cannot do enough for her guests and is so attentive to everyone's needs. Her son Taylor has now joined her at the hotel, and he is every bit as friendly as his mother Karen, I have to say his poached eggs are challenging yours for the best we've tasted The hotel is spotlessly clean, and the rooms are light and airy, with really comfy beds. Breakfast is scrumptious, with lovely choices all of which come perfectly cooked and presented Thank you Karen and Taylor for another wonderful stay at the Acarsaid

This hotel is so cosy and comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome by Big Karen and her staff. Our rooms and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The room we shared was perfect for friends, with two separate but adjoining bedrooms. The beds were super comfy, we had a great night's sleep. Breakfast was yummy, poached eggs perfect!! The hotel has a wee bar for late afternoon/early evening drinks, with comfy sofas. Just a perfect stay had by us all. Thank you guys, we will definately be back!!

During our recent stay at Acarsaid, we were fortunate enough to experience the outstanding hospitality provided by Big Karen and her lovely staff. From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. Her warm and welcoming demeanour set the tone for our entire stay. Her attention to detail and genuine care for guests was evident in every interaction. She was quick to address any questions or requests we had, ensuring our comfort and satisfaction throughout our stay. Not only did Big Karen excel in her role, but she also demonstrated an extensive knowledge of the local area, providing invaluable recommendations for dining and activities. Her insights greatly enhanced our overall experience. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice. The hotel itself was clean, conveniently located, comfortable beds and a great tea tray, but it was truly Big Karen's exceptional service that made our stay unforgettable. Her dedication to guest satisfaction is a testament to the quality of service provided at this establishment. We highly recommend Acarsaid especially if you have the pleasure of being assisted by Big Karen. Her hospitality truly made our stay a memorable one, and we look forward to returning in the future.
