I’ve been through Methven a number of times but never stayed in town overnight, but the Brown Pub was a pleasant surprise, classic pub hotel, the food was excellent and staff as well. My room was much nicer than the photo, people in the pub were friendly and not rowdy, would definitely stay here again!
