Pitlochry Hotels in Springtime

With the onset of milder weather, gardens, hedgerows and hillsides all around Pitlochry are bursting into life with the sights and smells of spring. From yellow daffodils to violet, orange and white crocuses, from the myriad colours of primulas to the purple and white heathers, spring is making a colourful entrance.

Pitlochry Festival Theatre will be celebrating flowers and all things horticultural with 2 events at the end of March. 'Behind the Bamboo Curtain' on Friday 26th March explores the historical importance of China in sourcing many of the beautful shrubs and flowers we enjoy in Scotland today, while a flower arranging workshop on Sunday 28th March shows you how to create a unique and beautiful display of spring blooms.

The theatre also has some family events lined up for Easter including a treasure hunt in the Explorers' Garden.

Knockendarroch are delighted to offer you a selection of special offers this spring, we hope you will come and visit us.

Best wishes, Liz

Hotels Pitlochry - Knockendarroch Spring Breaks Offer


With the days lengthening, spring flowers appearing and the return of the dawn chorus, it is a wonderful time of year to visit us here in Pitlochry. Take advantage of our Spring Breaks offer and enjoy some fresh spring air. The surrounding woodland and hills are perfect for nature walks, and the town itself boasts a vibrant cultural and social scene all its own, with an eclectic mixture of shops, pubs and tea rooms.

Knockendarroch House has a cultural history all its own, as it was the original setting for Pitlochry Festival Theatre. We have a lovely selection of old photographs in the hotel showing how it looked during that period. The new theatre building, on the other side of the river, hosts an amazing selection of plays, concerts, literary events, workshops and classes throughout the year. Highlights for March include Fascinating Aida on the 19th and the comic Nearly Naked Chef, Hardeep Singh Kohli, on 20th March.

We look forward to seeing you soon

Liz, Knockendarroch House, one of the finest Pitlochry hotels
