Scottish character hotel.
We enjoyed our stay, breakfast was hearty and staff attentive in dining room. However, there was no one at reception on check out, until the breakfast waitress who spoke almost no English, took our key. Generally the hotel has atmosphere, but needs a refurb - with lots of annoying fire doors on the stairway and worn carpets.

The Atholl Arms has real potential but the room I was in was dated and the bed was uncomfortable. The mattress was lumpy. The Bothy Bar did basic food whic was very tasty but the bar staff were not very willing to do anything they didnt have to. It is a shame as it could be a very nice place. Seems to do well out of bus tours which I dont think is a good sign.

Old fashioned Hotel
This old fashioned quant hotel is what you think of when in Scotland!!! The staff are helpful and go about their work with a smile!! Roaring fires in all public rooms! But if you want modern facilities and all the mod cons...........then book in to the Holiday Inn....... this hotel has history and I really enjoyed my stay!!!!!

Great staff, terrible bed!!!
I had upgraded our room while booking and was told we were getting a superior room. I dread to think what the bed would have been like prior to upgrade!!!! We were there for our wedding anniversary and were given two single beds that had been shoved together so sleeping anywhere near my husband either involved us both on one single bed or one of us on the join in between, it was awful. I had a better sleep the previous night in our tent!!!!!!!! The hotel is dated and a bit dull but the staff were really nice and the whole place was very accommodating for our dog as well. Not really sure if we'd go back but as the only hotel in Blair Atholl you're not really spoilt for choice

Not Doing This Again
Our trip started with a condescending unhelpful individual at the front desk. He wanted to help as little as possible. Wifi didn't work in the rooms, my mattress 'popped' when I lay on it, the shower was weak and because of where it was mounted (at the front on the side wall) I was unable to stand under it. Trains right behind my room made it difficult to sleep and relax. My television remote didn't work. Front desk guy grudgingly came to help and then lectured me about how I needed to use the buttons on top of the TV to change channels (convenient when lying in bed) and that the remote was a cheap universal one because guests steal the real ones. Walls were paper thin allowing the screams of children ( the place was overrun with lots of families - perhaps because of the castle across the road). Rooms etc were dated, tired and expensive. On the positive side, the building is stunning from the outside, the food was quite good and the main dining room is stunning. Breakfast staff were quite lovely too.

Looks good from the outside.....
Rooms are smelly. (We had 2 rooms). Wall to wall carpet in the bath is not a good idea .... Ours was dirty, moist and smelly. The shower had no pressure and it was very hard to regulate the temp. Beds were hard and not comfortable. No hand soap offered at the sink or shampoo for the shower. Only shower gel in a pump container, so be sure to bring your own. Ok if you are looking for a hostel, but not for the price we paid. The pub/bar atmosphere and food was delicious and priced reasonably. Breakfast was good.

Fine for an overnight stay
Stopped off here on the first leg of a 3 day tour of the Highlands. Think it is more suited for short stays rather than longer stays which is fine as most residents seem to be in transit elsewhere or hillwalkers etc. Room was fine if a little dated. Nice dining room (had a lovely breakfast). Wifi not good and needs to be improved. Ok bathroom with non electric shower, bath and toilet. Bothy bar served ok food and drink but I found it a bit untidy - needs more regular uplifts of plates/glasses etc and tables need wiped properly. There was a smaller nicer looking "resident style" bar but did not go there - maybe should have. Nice comfy bed in our double room and a smallish (by modern standards) tv. Would come back again for an overnight stay if passing again.

Superb location as a base for a walking holiday
After a long journey to the hotel it was great to enter such a pleasant and well situated place. Blair Atholl is very picturesque and includes a castle. It has little through traffic although the A9 is within one mile. Pitlochry is less than ten miles away. I was able to leave my car in the car park and walk each day into the hills. Excellent grade D/D+ walks of between ten and twelve miles. Their Bothy Bar was open for food from noon til nine with a good selection of bar meals and locally brewed ale. For those who wish for a more formal eating experience the restaurant opens at six and serves a varied selection of food. An excellent breakfast was served in the restaurant. Just behind the hotel is a convenience store where I bought snacks for the treks.

Lovely old hotel, great pub attached
This was a lovely old hotel within walking distance of a local castle (can't remember the name) and a 15 minute drive to Pitlochery. Our room was very small (the door hit the bed when we opened it), but was clean and we were only there one night. Free wifi in the lobby. The pub attached had maybe the best meal I (as a vegetarian) had on our trip - a butterbean vegetable pie with this amazing fluffy croissant-like thing on top. SO good and was fun to have something that seemed traditional (lots of meat and fish pies in Scotland). The included breakfast was to-order and was great. Included their locally made honey (which was excellent, I bought a jar). Staff was very friendly. Great Scottish/hunting lodge-type décor. Would recommend.

quaint victorian charmer
quaint victorian charmer with great location to bruar falls and surrounding area. the room was a bit on the smallish side, but nicely appointed and very clean. quite a busy hotel but staff attentive and no-one left hanging waiting for service in dining hall or when checking out.
