The Fortingall is a lovely hotel in the picturesque village of Fortingall. The staff were so helpful and welcoming. Our room had everything we look for with really comfortable bed and an excellent shower, as well as lovely toiletries and robes. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious. The live musicians in the hotel pub on Sunday night were amazing and a real treat. Its a special hotel in a quiet corner of Scotland. Glen Lyon is not to be missed.

The Fortingall has recently undergone a complete renovation, so reviews prior to May 2025 reflect a very different experience - best to start fresh. I decided to spend a couple of nights there celebrating a significant anniversary, and it did not disappoint! The revamped hotel offers a beautifully balanced atmosphere: refined yet relaxed, elegant but not too formal. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, creating a space that feels special without ever being stiff or pretentious. The rooms are stylishly Scottish - charming without the usual Highland clichés - making it an ideal retreat to unwind, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the stunning surroundings. Think 'Barbour and Wellies' meets 'The Ritz'. Despite being open only a short time, the hotel has quickly found its stride. Service is efficient and the friendly staff are eager to cater for any whim. Breakfast is hearty, or healthy if you prefer a lighter start. The evolving dinner menu will soon feature a ‘Farm to Table’ concept, to pair with the diverse and well-priced wine list - perfect respite after a day exploring the glens, fishing the rivers, or touring by e-bike. New additions like Afternoon Tea and casual dining in the Bar promise a welcome for day visitors, but with so much to offer on its doorstep, staying overnight is well worth it. While the rates may seem high locally, the quality and experience justify every penny. The legendary Friday night hoolie in The Ewe with locals playing and singing is still going strong. It's lively and packed, so enjoy a whisky or two, show-casing the local Aberfeldy Distillery, and join in. Since it's standing room only, you may as well dance your heart out and stay an extra night! Outdoor enthusiasts are in excellent hands. Whether you're seasoned or a beginner, the knowledgeable and patient ghillies provide outstanding support for hunting, shooting, and fishing. Even if you have not tried your hand before, give it go. Perfecting a 'Double Spey' or a 'Snake Roll' cast on the River Lyon is reason enough to send postcards home; even if the salmon or trout do not bite, the views will still take your breath away. In short, The Fortingall is a newly polished gem, ready to rival Scotland’s finest country hotels. A place of character, comfort, and charm - well worth your consideration. I would return in a heartbeat...

We were so excited to come to the hotel again for dinner now it’s reopened and it did not disappoint. The staff were lovely, attentive and knowledgable and the food was wonderful. With one dairy intolerant diner we were surprised that almost everything could be easily adapted (rare in many places) and even a surprising vegan dessert on offer that catered to this requirement. We look forward to coming back regularly and for when the cocktail menu is available.

We had stayed here before, many years ago, when we were looking for an overnight stop off between north of Scotland & Edinburgh. We were keen to return after the change of ownership & refurb. It was a rocky start when we checked into our room but we were quickly moved, without any hassle, to another room which was much quieter. Although this room faced the road it had the most gorgeous pastoral views from the main window and in any event there was very little traffic. We liked the decor throughout the hotel. Classic and tasteful.  No garish patterns so popular in some recent hotel refurbs. Husband visited their pub for a post drive beer whilst I enjoyed a lovely bath, coffee & macaroon. We had dinner & breakfast in the hotel & really enjoyed the food. Good quality, decent choice & well cooked & presented. The bed/pillows/bedding were all very comfortable and we slept extremely well. The only minor things I didn't like was the  Pluto TV which doesn't show regular TV. Also, at 7am a guest in a room above us put on their radio and the noise was rather intrusive in our room, albeit we were actually awake at that time. This is a lovely hotel and we will definitely choose to stay here again.
