The view was great and the bed comfort but there were too many annoying things about the room considering the price. No powerpoint near bedside table, no instant coffee, pods but not milk frother. No smoking policy but the previous guests have at least 15 cigarettes on the balcony as per picture.

We booked the Royal Mail Hotel stay that included dinner at both restaurants. Our night at Wickens was next level - fabulous food, impeccable presentation with attention to detail we had not previously experienced. The service was attentive but not intrusive and our dining was enhanced by having done the kitchen garden tour that morning. We appreciated just how much thought, time and planning had gone on to produce our meal. We cannot recommend this place highly enough - simply outstanding.

Absolutely loved everything about our stay - location, service food. Rooms were gorgeous with lovely views and top notch amenities. We wanted for nothing and it was the perfect, relaxing gourmet weekend away. A real credit to the team, and we equally enjoyed both dining expereinces at the 2 restaurants onsite.

Excellent stay as always. Excellent food and staff. Great hiking and outdoor activities in the area. Visited both Wickens and Parker street restaurants. The small town is very quiet and friendly people.

This hotel is not cheap, and expectations are therefore high coming in. The restaurants were both amazing, but this review is for the hotel. The good bits are that the rooms are comfortable, good view of the mountains and I can see that thought has been put into the landscaping to make the rooms feel as private as possible. I also really liked the heated bathroom floors and the linen was all very nice. Front desk service was pleasant and the people we met there were all very helpful. We had some big issues with housekeeping standards, however, and did not feel that our room was properly cleaned during our stay. A big part of why we chose to stay here was because we wanted a hotel that cleaned the rooms daily, and so this was pretty disappointing. The location is rather far away from the more popular hiking routes, so may be more suitable for people really looking for a retreat or for those who have already been to the Grampians before. I understand that this is a bit of a dining destination first and foremost, but I think more can be done to improve the housekeeping standards to bring the hotel up to the same level of excellence as the restaurants. …

Five star experience from the moment you check in to check out . Staff are welcoming , patient and professional. Our room was spacious , stylish and lived up to our expectations . Really impressed with fact that you could not hear your neighbours , which is due to excellent sound proofing . We enjoyed a delicious meal at the hotel and appreciated the stylish fit out . We have re-booked for January , need I say more . 🦘⛰️❤️

Loved the location of this cottage, waking up with birdsong and a view of the mountains. However the cottage itself is in need of a makeover. The furniture is dated and we had to remove a number of insects in the morning (probably coming through the fan in the bathroom). It is a really dark cottage (probably also due to the dark furniture). It could do with brightening up. Still, the bed was super comfortable and we enjoyed our time in Dunkeld.

I am pleased to advise you we do have upgraded Deluxe One Bedroom Cottages for guests seeking an enhanced cottage experience. I do hope we can welcome you back for a future stay and that this room type would better meet your expectations. Kind regards, Peter Dillon General Manager

Parker Street Project and Wickens were great dining experiences. Staff at both venue's were helpful and professional. Doing the kitchen garden tour the day of your Wickens dining experience is highly reccommended as to see how and where the food is grown gives you a whole new appreciation for the food.

Great room with coffee/tea, seating area and view towards mountains. Plenty of room and balcony, if you can stand the flies. Dunked has several breakfast and coffee shops but a bit limited for dinner. There was granola and yoghurt in the room. Food in Parker St Project absolutely superb. Recommend the potatoes crisps, salmon roe, John Dory, lamb, potatoes and cheeseboard. The Old Bakery good for breakfast and the excellent Izzy’s cafe is open to 19.30 some nights. Went up to Hall’s Gap but it was like Brighton on a bank holiday weekend. Everywhere else was deserted and shut because of the Australian Rules Cup final!

The Royal Mail Hotel is in a superb position, looking towards the dramatic Grampians, and it offers two fine restaurants, comfortable well-fitted rooms, and a high level of service. We also enjoyed the very informative tour of the restaurant produce garden.
