Atholl Arms Hotel Restaurant in Perth & Kinross

Great wee bar that is dog friendly

Food overall very nice.....menu overpriced in bar area.....£17.95 for steak an ale pie??....£16.95 for mince an tatties??.....service good.....

Hmmmm. A grand hotel from days past. And, it’s grand days seem to be past. The room I was given, on the third floor, was dated and funky. Worn carpet and poor bathroom. I paid £100 bnb, but that’s 25% more than the room quality warrants. The dining hall is impressive, the breakfast less so. The open fires are kept burning, and they are welcome. If I’m passing through here again, I’d look for somewhere else.

Worst sleep we ever had in a hotel. We could actually hear people in the next room turn the light on and off. Location is great and the facilities are well kept. Everyone we met at reception is borderline rude. Hotel is dog friendly but won’t allow them in dinning area which means our dog had to stay in the car while we had breakfast although they charged us an extra £15 for the dog.

Popped in for a couple of drinks when we were staying at local caravan park at weekend. First time visit to Blair Atholl Arms Hotel but definitely not our last time.

Great location, but standing in the shower covered in soap when the hot water pressure drops to zero and refuses to come back does not encourage giving a high rating.

Great lunch at the bothy, good service and nice pub grub

A classic olde worlde highland hotel in a stunning location. Tartan carpets, log fires and good food. Our room was fresh and comfortable. Some of our friends were less fortunate...cramped and a bit foosty. Definitely worth a visit though.

Wonderful place to stay, extremely helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely be back. Cannot praise them enough. Great value for money.

Great wee pub - staff are lovely. Dog friendly.

Stayed at the Atholl Arms last weekend for 3 nights. Traditional Scottish hotel which is warm and welcoming. Food was excellent and staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

The very definition of hospitality, this cosy hotel really hits the spot, even in a cold, rainy February.

The food and hospitality was great The open fire was certainly what we needed after a long day outside in the cold.

Our room was a bit tired, but everything else was amazing - service, food and ambience. 100% recommended. Oh, and we are in the trade so can be pretty picky....

Loved the lunch here! Strangely we had to eat in the bar because that's how they serve in the winters - but it was delicious!!

Fabulous wee pub. Really friendly staff, very attentive and couldn’t do more for us. Went here twice in a short period of time. Top class. Our dog loved it as well, he got two sausages and he’s not stopped going on about it since. Great experience all around. Shout out to the superb New Zealand bar lady, she was excellent

Lovely hotel, in a stunning location. Good service in both the hotel and the pub.

Extremely cozy and warm place. The style, the open fire, the breakfast is top notch. It's probably the first hotel which forces me to leave my room just to sit in the common space.

Went to the Bothy Bar at the back of the hotel. A huge improvement on the way it once was. Quite a lot of time and effort had gone into it. A warm, welcoming atmosphere with just the right degree of privacy. Recommended!

Warning! Not dog friendly at all. Booked only to be told our well behaved dog could not spend breakfast with us. Both room bookings had to be cancelled and all evening meals. Our advice is try somewhere else if you have a dog.

Amazing day .. warm and welcoming an live music food and staff amazing. Decor is stunning .Just by the river tay ..Was just perfect ... so recommend ..

Stopped by here for lunch as we know the food is good, the dogs are welcome and the service is friendly. Plenty space for big dogs (3 golden retrievers). Would definitely recommend, wide range on the menu. We had selection of dishes, Cullen skink, sandwiches, salad and fries. Looking forward to returning on next trip in a couple of months.

Cosy bar with friendly staff, great beers and a fab menu!

Very cosy bar / restaurant. Open fire and lovely girl serving us .

Fantastic food went for evening meal it was fab

Ordered a steak ciabatta with fries and slaw. For the price you would expect a good quality meat for the little you get on the sandwich but most of it was tough, chewy fat which was unfortunate. Slaw is bland but the fries were good.

We enjoy the bothy with our wee dog

went here for food great place good service but dropped my phone in the toilet so loses a star

We were desperate for a place to eat in Blair Atholl and came across this pub. We ate in the bothy and it was a cosy atmosphere. The food was really flavoursome and pretty reasonable for the quality. We had fried calamari, curry and haggis and my partner said it was the best haggis he's ever tried. The staff were super friendly and all in all it was a great experience. We will be back!

Wer "old world charme" erleben will ist hier am richtigen Platz. Wunderschön gegenüber dem Schloßpark gelegen, lädt dieses altehrwürdige Hotel ein, in vergangene Zeiten zurückzureisen. Brennende Kaminfeuer in Pub, Lobby und "Rittersaal", weiche Chesterfield Sofas und eine wirklich rundherum passende Einrichtung machen die Sache komplett. Auch wenn man nicht zum Lachsangeln oder Golfen in Schottland sein sollte, so stellt sich hier beim hervorragenden Frühstück vor prasselnden Kaminfeuer das Gefühl ein, doch irgendwie eine Lordschaft zu sein.

The Bothy Bar is expectacular. I love how cosy it is, waiters are awesome going above and beyond and there is good pub food.

Charming, atmospheric hotel that's not seen a refurb in half a century but I loved it. It's like a cool dream about an old hotel. The mattress is terrible, the water pressure from the electric shower is low, the electric wall-mounter heaters smack of 1970s council house but see past it. The dining room is spectacular, the roaring fires are a thing of beauty and the breakfast is excellent. I'm giving 5 stars because it's enchanting and memorable in a way that few hotels are.

What a lovely place, I had a great time away.

I ordered the steak and ale pie. Probably one of the worst I’ve ever had. Meat was dry and tasteless and potatoes were tasteless as well. Pastry was also dry and horrible. Don’t go here. Avoid at all cost. At 16.95 you really expect a lot more. I’m not angry. I’m just disappointed :(

Not a wonderful experience here, food not up to scratch.

Great food and friendly service. Cosy pub with good atmosphere

Lovely hotel with staff who went above and beyond for my disabled / elderly grandmother. Also great meals at decent prices.

Loved the old-fashioned and 'busy' interieur. Food is good.

It's just a lovely experience off the A9. Amazing food, we had a huge lunch in the Bothy bar. Hope to stay here one day.

Good food, excellent service in the Bothy Bar. Very friendly staff and pleasant surroundings.

Comimos. Parada en camino a otro destino.

We stayed at the Atholl Arms for a weekend reunion with approximately 50 others. We had Friday and Saturday night suppers, and Celeidgh dancing on Saturday in their dining hall. Our family suite was pleasing - facing the road --quiet, clean and user friendly. Old fashioned desk service instead of a scanner/machine/robot. Dining room was super well-organised - breakfast orders taken efficiently and food delivered immaculately as ordered. For the numbers being served this was impressive. Friday night the best lasagne I have ever had was served. For this I asked the Maitre'd for the recipe and the chef personally wrote it down for me! Saturday night for the black tie dinner for 60+ salmon was served - again an excellent standard of food for such large numbers at one time for a local, family-style hotel. Requests and questions were answered and at busy times the staff remained cheerful and personable. We had a great time there! Tons to do and see around the area. Enjoy this old-school family - style hotel with high quality service while you can!

Wir waren nur zum Essen dort. Zum Hotelbetrieb kann ich nichts sagen. Die Gaststube, darf man in dem Fall wirklich so nennen, war so schottisch wie man sich das vorstellt. Da musste ich natürlich zum ersten Mal ein Haggis probieren. Und mir hat es geschmeckt. Leider fehlen mir die Vergleichsmöglichkeiten. Alles in allem ein typischer Schottlandabend wie aus dem Bilderbuch. Kleine Schönheitsfehler und Abnutzungserscheinungen waren aber sichtbar. Da sollte das Management aufpassen.

Popped into the Atholl Arms for lunch after a morning exploring the local area. Food was good with friendly service, plus my beer was nice and cold on a warm highland day. Worth the stop.

Excellent food and drink plus kind staff.

Typical but really welcoming, clean and warm pub, we had a really great dinner with friends. Food was really good (Atholl double beef burger superbe, salad very tasty, maybe fries not the same level; my friend a great beef'n'Ale, would be my next choice). Special mention to the waiters: really supportive, funny, but they possess the right equilibrium not to be "too much". A "must-do" for dinner when in Glasgow

Nice pub to sit in for a drink but wouldn’t recommend the £13 macaroni cheese - it was 100% the Heinz variety from a tin just upended into a little dish - they hadn’t even seasoned or tried to hide it under a homemade cheese crust. Mega cheeky since mac & cheese is a simple, cheap meal to whip up from scratch.

Definitely one of the nicer places to stay. Friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere. I’d stay there again.

Had a lovely family meal here at the end of our holiday, after a 20mile walk and a Munro it was gratefully received 😅the food was incredible and the girls serving us were attentive but not overly so. We would definitely go back, such a lovely atmosphere and the option to eat outside if you wished.

Drink review only - Just doesn’t make sense having to take a table and wait on being served for a drink. I’ve came here for years upon years and live visiting to have a few sociable drinks and not necessarily eating. It’s lost some of the oldy worldy atmosphere and I’m still scratching my head as to what table service for drinks would make any commercial sense ! I hasten to add the waitress was lovely and efficient but still, I’d rather it functioned as a normal bar / restaurant!

Nice Scottish hotel with fabulous traditional decor. Classic pub food.

We just stopped here for a cup of coffee from the bar. The coffee was really good. The service was very friendly. We sat outside at a bench in the sun.

Honestly dont want to write this. I have been coming here for 25 years and loved every meal. Bar this one. The prices are abysmal for what you get. Venison calibrese starter was a salad with two shavings of dyed ham. Steak pie was cold and got sent back twice. Dont reheat pie in a microwave mr chef man. Roast must of been trown off a wall. Insult to i injury it was served with one potato. Burger was like out of a fairground van. Hate to be a karen but we complained to just a sorry and nothing else. To top it off, visited the toilet to exit my vile meal and could only wipe with hand drying roll. Needed a pillow for the way home. I could genuinely write more but im too frustrated.

Nice place for food and drink with friendly staff

Lovely hotel went for a meal it was great staff very helpful and in a beautiful location

Beautiful hotel in stunning surroundings. The team here were amazing, as was the food. My partner said the steak and ale pie was the best he'd ever had. Visiting Blair Castle is a must.

Lovely food & pleasant service. We arrived after a number of tourist parties so it took quite a while to get our food however it was worth it in the end.

Rude, Unfriendly, Confrontational & Bad Tempered I apologise to all our visitors to this stunning area - this sort of service is TOTALLY unacceptable and belongs in the Stone Age - IT IS NOT representative of our fabulous country or its people.

Great lunch and very friendly staff. Thanks.

Lovely place to stay, very comfortable, very Scottish.

Excellent experience all round granted the weather was perfect but food was excellent.

Didn't stay there just had drinks

Just in for something to eat in the Bothy Bar and the food was lovely, sat out in the garden and had our meal as we had the dogs with us.

A pit stop for lunch on our way to Glasgow! Two adults two kids. Nice service pleasant staff. Fish & chips was very tasty all of our food was enjoyed the kids as well. Will definitely return here again we will be back in Blair atholl next month so looking forward to eating here again.

The Atholl Arms - Blair Atholl. The not so dog friendly hotel. On arrival before we even got our room key we were informed that we had either to put the dog in the car whilst we ate breakfast or eat one after the other. Dogs cannot be left in the room alone and they couldn’t put up a table elsewhere for us. As we were on holiday together and booked a double dog friendly room we were justifyingly unhappy. We never leave the dog in the car, especially with the hot temperatures we have had. As soon as we got into our room there was an A4 sign at the side of the bed stating dogs aren’t allowed in the room unattended at any time. It seemed so unwelcoming. So now onto the room. Room 201. Very traditional room set out lovely. Sash windows. The quilt cover was torn in two places. Bathroom window wouldn’t open. I fed our concerns to the hotel manager about the quilt cover who was the person who gave us the ‘warm welcome’ she arranged for housekeeping to change the bedding despite the fact we told her that they could leave it on - I brought it to their attention because I didn’t want them to think the dog had done it! The floorboards are very creaky in this place, so if it’s peace and tranquillity or an early night you want in your room I would avoid. In the evening we ate in The Bothy bar - mince and tatties and it was like good home cooked food and an ample portion - fresh and hot. Service was good too. We decided not to have a separate breakfast here even though it was a Sunday morning and difficult to get breakfast early elsewhere , we asked them to deduct it off our bill. Quite frankly we expected more from this ‘dog friendly’ hotel. Having travelled over 1000 miles on our Scotland holiday and been warmly welcomed and accommodated at 8 other dog friendly hotels - I guess there just had to one that marred it. It had so much potential to be one of our favourite places to stay - but we didn’t feel valued or respected. We got £30 deducted off the bill in lieu of breakfast, no charge for our dog which should have been £15 and we left the hotel hungry.

Sehr schönes Hotel. Waren nur in der Teezeit im Hotel. Sehr empfehlenswert und Hochwertig daß Personal. Service perfekt. 👍👍👍👍

Great burger, cold chips, but still enjoyed our meal, lovely place.

Due to several train cancellations, I was not able to arrive in Blair Atholl and start my vacation on time. Despite the fact that I cancelled on the same day, I received a refund. This is much appreciated and great customer service. Thank you!

just for drinks lovely old building fabulous settling

Food was lovely and the staff were extremely accommodating! I will definitely be back!

How fortunate for us to have chosen Blair Atholl to stopover between Inverness and Edinburgh! It was an unforgettably beautiful building to arrive at. Then the magnificent room assigned to us with a 4 poster bed and 2 person spa bath as well to overwhelm us. The dining room was simply beautiful so breakfast became a grand affair too. Game on offer on the menu for dinner was a rare and memorable treat. Thank you!

Stopped for lunch only. The menu is nice, a bit pricey if I'm honest, but these places really only have the tourist season to make money so it's understandable. The service was slow, we were an hour to sit, order, be served, eat & pay. We only had 1 course. My salad was delicious & my husband's burger was also lovely. Both meals slightly let down by the chips. They were pretty cold by the time they arrived & they were the type of chips you get from McDonald's. Which isn't great when you've paid £6 for Parmesan, Truffle fries! Not a bad place though & the dog is allowed in the bar area.

Lovely snug, dog friendly, delicious food, varied menu, friendly service.

I stayed here this week with my sister, we were on a rail and hiking holiday. The hotel was exactly what we’d hoped for, a roaring fire, beautiful rooms, great food, and the staff couldn’t have been more perfect! As this was our first trip to Scotland, the ladies which run this hotel have ensured that we will return, and definitely to the Atholl Arms! Do yourself a favor and check this place out if you’re headed to or from the highlands.

for one night it's all right. room really small. bed small, old and squeaky, walls are thin and we could hear our neighbors, door of bathroom not fully closeable, shower curtain not cleaned in a while (these one are washable, guys!) and smelly. rest of the room clean.

Was here for a function. Buying drinks from the bar was a nightmare. The barman told us that we needed to sit down at a table in order to be served, but we were sitting through the front in the function room....so how does that make sense? Nobody was allowed to stand at the bar, even to be served. We queried it with the barman later on as the bar tables were all filling up with diners, and he said, and I quote, "we don't value local custom as we get enough passing grade". A good way to lose customers. Hope that management have a word with their bar staff.

This a home for home for us. Lovely staff offer traditional Scottish hospitality. We love visiting ... and its doggy friendly.

Staff not very helpful . You feel more of a burden than a customer would not recommend this place to anyone. Food not very good . Needs to be updated

Plesant staff on tables good seating food is pitifully lots of fat on fish if you could remember Scotland has a great fishing Fleet with fresh fish why is it frozen ? People care about what they eat so give them the option of fresh produce not frozen water! With big batter ozing fat. You should be representing the quality of Scotlands fine quality food products you have the foot fall through Blair Atholl to make it special. So why not do it?

Popped in for some food after a cycle and the food was very good but there must have been issues with beer as no lager but no big issue. Service was ok bit slow but the place was Very busy. As others have said the decorations are old world but given the location probably fit in perfectly

Un accueil chaleureux et une ambiance typique d’un B&B.

A great place to stay. Food in The Bothy Bar is good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms warm and beds comfy.

Love this place been many times only downside this time was the bothy bar only open Friday and Saturday nights

Reasonable price, good location, nice pub, exceptional staff

Lovely hotel for a weekend break, service, food and drink we're great, lovely evening sitting in front of the log fire with my wife

Lunch on way north, usually eat in bothy bar ,but only open Fri/Sat so used main hotel

The real deal. Open roaring fires in winter, local real ales on tap, atmospheric slightly faded grandeur in abundance, food good if not exceptional, but universally friendly, cheerful, helpful staff push it firmly in to the five star bracket.

Fantastic staff and great food, will be back sometime soon

Lovely hotel the staff are very friendly and polite and are happy to help in any way they can. Great place to stop if your travelling up north or comming back down south. Many of the rooms are nice. Some upgrades need doing to the TV ariels for better pictures but all round a nice hotel.

Pub was closed, but friendly bar staff served us in for a quick half by the fire in the hotel lounge. Lovely.

We had an amazing experience!! We arrived late on Friday night and the lady kept the bar open for us so we could get a drink - very much appreciated. The atmosphere is amazing, sit in front of the fireplace enjoying drinks is a must! As it’s December everything was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Breakfast was delicious, different options and staff serving coffee and tea were lovely. They have a bar/restaurant hidden at the back, the food was pretty good (the hotel staff on this day wasn’t too helpful but anyways). The room was big and warm, all very clean. Good location too, we went for a walk near the river there, the view was beautiful with snow. A fantastic stay at a traditional highland inn.

We just popped in for lunch as we do when we are passing. Good food nice and cosy.

We went for dinner, Service was really good, food was ok, drinks a little expensive, nice atmosphere.

Always a great place to visit, friendly staff, great food, good beer and the surroundings are excellent, proper old fashioned bar

Lovely old traditional Scottish hotel to stop at. For what you pay room rate this Hotel is just fine. I would stop here again.

Excellent service and excellent food

Should be called castle mc stinger

Great ambiance in the Bothy. Slow service and average food.

We didn't stay here, only had dinner. The atmosphere is lovely as were the staff. The food I didn't find so great. I ordered the chicken with black pudding and it was very dry, comes with some onion liquid(only way I can describe it) over it but tasteless and not much of it. The person I was with had the steak and ale pie and said it was ok. In summary I would def go here for a drink as it has a cosy feel but wouldn't eat here again.

We had lunch here and the food was lovely, especially the mushroom soup 😋
