The Royal Scotsman at Pinecrest

My wife and I had our wedding reception at the Royal Scotsman at Pinecrest. It was a beautiful setting and the management was very kind. They struck a perfect balance of being helpful without really being noticed. It almost felt like it was our place. With our reception package they cleared out the hotel that night and we had the whole place to ourselves - we could stay in any room we wanted. I don't know if they still offer this situation or not, but it was great. We had the reception, everyone went home (even the hotel owners - I mean we really had the place to ourselves) and then went to bed. We woke to home-made breakfast (the owners came up early to prepare it for us), packed up and drove to the airport for our honeymoon. It was great. I would recommend this situation to anyone. The main house is wonderful. more

My husband and I spent our first anniversary at the Pinecrest. We stayed in the cabin up the hill. There was no stair rail up the stairs. We had to hang onto the wall to keep from tumbling (and we're not even old). The fireplace (Darth Vadar lookalike) had much too small a vent and filled the entire house with smoke. The breakfast was frozen pancakes and coffee. GIVE ME A BREAK! I liked Phil however...very jovial person, but will NOT return. more
