Reviews of Atholl Arms 3 stars

All the staff were excellent

Room was a little cramped and dated

Food

A place with character - well maintained - fantastic meals in the pub that’s part of the hotel. Scottish breakfast was spot on. Loves the wee coo idea. Just a hint of different to others. Also very understanding and helpful after I booked the wrong night. Loved our stay.

Nothing

location good - old pub feeling. we had dinner & a drink at the bar - was v nice.

can here noise thru the walls - both above us & next door - didn’t really bother us though-

This place definitely is that old type of lodge you'd expect to stay in a historical place like Blair Atholl. It's cosy hotell, good pub food, nice staff and absolutely excellent breakfast!

The cleaning was not good, very dusty and the air was stuffy. Neither the bedroom nor bathroom had been properly dusted for a long time. We also got upgraded to the "honeymoon suite", which included a jacuzzi, and I would have expected this to be especially clean, but it wasn't. The place is quite old so it does need some renovation.

Beautiful location

Very dated decor. My room had wallpaper peeling off. Bathroom very dated and the shower was pathetic and leaked. Bed lumpy. It was clean though and the towels were good. My greeting on arrival was lukewarm to say the least and no apology was forthcoming when they couldn’t find my booking. To be fair she was a lot more friendly the following morning so maybe she was just having a bad day. Breakfast was very basic. No dairy free options and no fresh fruit. I ordered eggs benedict. When I asked for black pepper I was directed towards the bog standard rubbish on the table but she did then manage to find a proper grinder. It would have been a lot nicer had the chef thought to maybe add a garnish of green salad of some description. Coffee was plentiful however and service was good. I paid £165 for a one night stay and I think that is the worse value for money I have ever experienced in any hotel anywhere in the world. I would have stayed elsewhere had I a vehicle but being restricted to using public transport this was my only option for the night. The whole place is in a time warp from the 1980’s. Great if you like that kind of thing but personally think we have moved on a bit since then.

Lovely traditional hotel staff are friendly and the breakfast is superb served in the baronial dining room

I can't fault the Atholl Arms. we couldn't get wifi but it did not detract from our stay perhaps just position of room.

It’s a vintage style hotel with lots of charm - we had a beautiful front facing bright bay windowed room

My only complaint literally is I would love a socket near the mirror or the bed but not a deal breaker

Great location, nice hotel

Staff very helpful. Lovely location. Food good.

Bathroom needed modernising

Fantastic old Scottish building with lots of charm. Great onsite pub serving hearty Scottish meals. A superb location for visiting the area. Parking on site always a bonus. The staff are genuinely welcoming and attentive, especially the Manager who sorted an issue for us very professionally. Our room we had at the front of the hotel was spacious and comfy. Loved the authenticity of the hotel bar and hall areas.

Situation was great and parking convenient

Bathroom very small, a larger person would struggle to be comfortable. Maybe applies only to the room we had.

Very large and comfortable room. Beautiful hotel.

Lovely hotel in beautiful Blair Atholl. Just a 1 night stay on the way north, booked as was on our route. Very pleased with it. Ate dinner in the beer garden which was lovely, and had a delicious breakfast in the great hall. Staff were all lovely and helpful.

Nice staff and good location
