Had a romantic dinner at the Atholl Arms Hotel, a great choice. The dining room was amazing, in Scottish Baronial style and decor, minstrels gallery and huge fireplaces. Fires not lit this weekend, thanks to mini heatwave, but must be lovely the other 360 days of the year. Interesting menu, from fine gourmet options to traditional Scottish fare. Plenty of... More

We found the main Bothy Bar area a bit uncomfortable. Tables were mainly in booths for 6-8 people, with hard backed benches & several dining chairs for seating. There were various loose cushions availabe, but all in all a bit spartan. A table in the centre of the area had benches without back supports, they remained unused, even though both... More

My wife and i have just returned from a one night stay....and founf it GREAT. As I read the reviews of others I cant help wondering if they are looking for "perfection" and look forward to having a gripe?! We were given a lovely welcome at this Family-run hotel and we too had the afternoon tea which we thought was... More

Our overnight stay was great value, and very comfotable, and we wished we had stayed longer. Really enjoyed our bar meal in a buzzing atmosphere and loved the roaring fires. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Great breakfast in impressive banqueting hall. Contemporary, boutique style it is not - but the hotel is clean, and steeped in historical features. The village...

We stayed overnight at the hotel and had afternoon tea there too. It was great value all round and the room was very comfortable. The location is ideal as a base for exploring the surrounding area.

We stayed for a night in the impressive Arms Hotel on the return leg of a month-long trip to the Western Isles. We dropped into Blair Atholl on spec and found the Hotel right on the main road. We had a dog with us so are always a bit wary of how hotels treat dog-owners but the staff couldn't have... More

Fawlty Towers style service and very poor food at the Bothy Bar. Scampi appeared to have no fish in them, the chips were huge reconstituted mashed potato affairs. One diners food came after everyone else had finished, and if the mashed potato that came with the lamb was not packet it tasted like it.

We were going from Haddington to visit friends in Inverness and decided to break the journey with an overnight stay on the way. We had thought about staying in Pitlochry itself but decided to try somewhere outside as it would be quieter and found this on the internet. Booking was simple (5 minutes) and then we read the reviews, starting... More

Blair Atholl is one of my favourite destinations for the camp site and ritual Friday night at the Atholl Arms Bothy Bar! I've been going for years and years and it seems to be that every time I go the place seems to be less enjoyable than the previous visit. If I start outside, not that we were daring to... More
