It is as small as a village with one Main Street yet has a cathedral and Telford's Tay bridge and on the opposite bank, Shakespeare's Birnam Oak and Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit. A very interesting history and a calming place to be.

Dunkeld is small but a real delight. There are some lovely shops offering local art work, food, coffee and wine. Walking along the river is always worthwhile.

A old red telephone box in the side street had been transformed into a mini library. I used a few children's books from here to entertain the little one.

Well worth a visit. Nice restaurants, chippy, coffee shops and wee shops.
"It is an older hotel, but very comfortable. Room was spacious. Staff friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was very good. Easy walk to a variety of restaurants and a well stocked liquor store for anyone shopping for malt whisky. Good value. "
"Well located for walking out to amenities. Comfy room. Wasn't aware no restaurant for dinner so last minute scrabble to find somewhere. Big breakfast with lots of choice. Not impressed with mist like shower (head full of beads to reduce flow)."
"Loved our stay at Moness Resort. Enjoyed the putting, lawn games, rock painting. Also used the swimming pool twice. Staff we all lovely. Dinner in restaurant was lovely too. Good choice of children's food. Room was clean and well laid out. We would definitely stay here again. "
