A PERTHSHIRE getaway named Scotland’s most romantic hotel has received a four-star gold grading from VisitScotland.
Knockendarroch, a 19th-century house in the heart of Pitlochry, was upgraded to four stars by the national tourism organisation’s Quality Assurance (QA) Scheme in recognition of its outstanding customer service. The Gold Star award was introduced to highlight establishments within the QA Scheme that strive to exceed customer expectations on an on-going basis, while taking an innovative and proactive approach to customer care.
Owned and run by Struan and Louise Lothian, the small hotel adds the award to a host of recent accolades, including winning the titles of Most Romantic, Best Service and Best Hotel in Scotland at TripAdvisor’s 2017 Travellers’ Choice Awards. The restaurant also has two red rosettes from the AA.
Struan Lothian, said: “It is a great honour to get this recognition.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
