Compliments to Anna and Ian. I was amazed how clean it was, which doesn't seem an easy task to me when a building is quite old, like this one. They give everyone a warm welcome, they really make an effort to make it a great place and a nice stay for the guests. Nothing but compliments. The location is close enough to town to go for an evening meal or a beer. And the area offers lots of opportunities for great hikes.Nienke

A great place to stay for outdoors types - drying room, secure cycle storage and at the foot of the Cairngorms. We stayed there to break the drive back to Yorkshire, having cycled the North Coast 500. We met walkers and cyclists doing John O Groats to Lands end.Adele Mitchell

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Pitlochry Youth Hostel. The young people we had taken were taken aback by the scenery. We went into the town and seen the Dam, and went to a park for some outdoor games which was all within walking distance. The staff were friendly, and very accommodating to our needs.YoMo

Monday night a must in Pitlochry. They have Highlands Night, which begins with the Vale Atholl Bagpipe Band playing and marching to the park for a 2-hour concert (for a wee fee). We were entertained with pipes and singing, Highland dancing and folk dancing. The emcee was wonderfully entertaining in his own right.OutdoorLassie

Very enjoyable stay. Staff were very welcoming and helpful with a sense of humour.I enjoyed a dorm room to myself the first night and then had to share with one other. I had turned the radiator setting down from 6 to 1 upon arrival and opened the window slightly. The last night there were 4 of us in the room and someone had closed the window and I found it unbearably hot ( think Southern Europe in a heat wave ). Why do yha's keep the central heating on at night !Tony English

Reasons to visit
Pitlochry sits in one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland. Easily accessible by train and bus, it's ideally situated for touring Highland Perthshire.
Set amidst hills, lochs and woodland, Pitlochry makes a superb base for outdoor enthusiasts wanting to explore the area's numerous walking and cycle routes.
The famous salmon ladder, Blair Castle, Blair Atholl Distillery and the Queen's View are not to be missed and Pitlochry Festival Theatre, known affectionately as the "Theatre in the Hills", offers a varied and exciting programme of events throughout the year.
Using the forest as a natural backdrop "The Enchanted Forest" in nearby Faskally Wood is a lighting show that is quite simply out of this world. Each October the autumn woodland is transformed into one of Scotland's premier light and sound experiences that dazzles and delights. Unmissable.
