4-star hotels in Aberfeldy
A shortlist of 4-star hotels and country stays in and around Aberfeldy, in Perthshire. It is for couples, families and small groups who want a base for the River Tay, Loch Tay and the hills, chosen by guest rating, class and what each place offers.
Staying in Aberfeldy
Aberfeldy sits on the River Tay in Perthshire and is known for its distillery, Wade's Bridge, the Black Watch Memorial and the Birks of Aberfeldy, with shops, cafes and a cinema in the town centre. Loch Tay and Kenmore lie a few miles to the west, and the hills around the town make it a base for the Tay Valley and the southern Highlands. These 4-star stays are spread across the area rather than clustered in one spot: several carry Aberfeldy addresses, while others are at Kenmore, Mains Of Taymouth Country Estate, Taymouth Marina, Fortingall, Fearnan, Boreland Farm, Balloch Park, Crieff Road, Orchard Brae, Tullicro and Errichel Farm.
The mix suits different trips. Couples and short-break visitors tend to look at the town-centre and Kenmore addresses with bars, restaurants and lochs nearby; families and groups are drawn to the self-catering style places with kitchens, gardens, playgrounds and pools; and anyone wanting hillwalking, fishing or skiing has options at Fearnan, Fortingall and Errichel Farm. Guests rate most of these stays highly, so the choice is more about the setting and the facilities than about standards.
