Atholl Arms Hotel in Perth & Kinross

Dropped in for lunch; one of the best steak ciabatta sandwiches I’ve ever had. Lovely service in a beautiful location. Thanks team, and thanks to Bertha!

Good food. Friendly and efficient service. Recommended.

Simply just great in every way …. Thankyou!!

What a great experience! The staff is so friendly and helpful! The food is amazing, we had the Ham Hock, the trio of salmon and the duck, all spectacular!! The duck is soo tender! 100% recommended!

Amazing please where eat and drink!! Really good service and food was great, definitely will come back!

Brilliant stay. Best dog friendly hotel around - lovely wee dog welcome pack including tennis ball. Food and service excellent at restaurant - fish and chips a must have.

We stopped in at the bistro part of the Atholl Arms and enjoyed a delicious lunch with our children. We went light - tempura prawns, Cullen Skink and pepperoni pizza, plus pints of cider and Belhaven - and it was tremendous. Tasty (esp the Skink!), good value and helpful service. V pleased.

Lovely venue and great service Will be back for sure

Lovely food and friendly service

This hotel is amazing, super dog friendly. The staff are excellent. Rooms are lovely. There were 10 of us for dinner and all of us loved our meals. The cooked breakfast however wasn’t so great but it didn’t ruin our stay. We cannot wait to return.

Well taken care of and great service. Dog loved it

A wee lunch stop today. Absolutely delicious lunch and fantastic courteous service from all staff. Will definitely be back. Joe and Bertha were in the Bar were very professional, friendly and attentive. 5 * service 😃

Came here for lunch, my partner and I are Gluten and Dairy free this makes us nervous to eat out. However the staff went above and beyond, they have a gluten free menu and were able to offer most things dary free if not with minor substitutions. The food was absolutely amazing, and great portion sizes, with lots of choice. The restaurant area is decorated lovely and has a gorgeous relaxed vibe. We popped in on the off chance we could eat and left thoroughly stuffed and happy! Thank you for a lovely lunch!

Stopped in for lunch with my friend and her dog, staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Beanie (the dog) was given some water, biscuits and a bowl for left overs. Food was also delicious.

Great food, and great service. Nero was great, he fixed our wobbly table in a second, and organised some off menu custard for my niece. Great place and will be back.

Stopped in for Sunday lunch, both my friend and I had the Sunday roast with beef. Food tasted great, really fresh and wide selection of veg served with the roast. My dog (Beanie) was treated like a queen by the staff who were extremely welcoming and so so efficient. We'll definitely be back!

We went for a meal before going to The Enchanted Forest. Food was amazing and the service was friendly! Worth a visit if you find yourself in Dunkeld.

Had a fantastic meal in Atholl Arms. Staff were up against it all day BUT still had a smile and managed to squeeze in 2 of us and a dog. Food was fab too, and loads of draft beer and whiskys to choose from. A MUST visit.

Lovely staff & quick service :)

One of the best gluten free menus around. All our meals were fantastic! Service very prompt and professional. A lovely place for lunch!

Bad, Deplorable Service and Staff

Lovely Jubbly food, great service

We chose to go here for a meet up with a friend that I hadn't seen for over 25 years. On arrival, the member of staff was friendly and we ordered drinks for our party of 5 adults, 2 children (and a baby asleep in a pram) plus tiny Yorkie. We were surprised that the only milk available was full fat - no semi or skimmed milk. The tea was luke warm, but we were happy sitting chatting and letting the children colour whilst we chatted. Then came the biggest surprise, we had to go through to the dining-room to eat lunch, BUT they would not accommodate the twin buggy with sleeping baby as 'it would inconvenience other guests' and they wouldn't put tables together to accommodate our larger group. (The bistro was not full as one waiter was happy to give us menus and accommodate our group until we said the little one was still asleep in the pram), did they expect us to leave the baby in a separate room???? We left and had the best lunch in the lovely Tay Hotel right next door to the Atholl Arms where the staff members were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, seated us around one large table and served us with a smile and great welcome. Moral of this story is: please don't dare go to the Atholl Arms with a double buggy, as a larger group or with sleeping children. 😞 Referring to the response - that's a great message to anyone who turns up at this hotel without booking - don't! You won't be accommodated unlike other hotels in Dunkeld (even when it wasn't busy, as was the case today), and the owner obviously has a 'chip on his shoulder' and offers a smart a#@e answer. One to avoid.

My fiancée and I had the most incredible time at the hotel. The service and services were beyond our expectations. Martin(from Hungary) was an absolute delight and an utter professional. Would highly recommend to friends and family.

Visited on Saturday for some late afternoon food. Excellent setting, great choices on the menus. Ate in the dog free restaurant. Very good customer service, freshly prepared food and in a very clean place. Highly recommend.

We only tried the restaurant here. Service was great, food is good. The location is fantastic in the picturesque village of Dunkeld. On a sunny day you can sit outside of the place or across the road on the bank if the river.

Dog-friendly hotel with spacious outdoor area right on the river. Ideally located for trips to the Highlands. The hotel has recently been renovated. Everything is very clean and modernly furnished. Very friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant offers excellent cuisine at moderate prices. Overall, a very positive experience and highly recommended.

Lovely boutique hotel, extremely dog friendly, including a 'dog menu'. We happened to have an over excited, undisciplined dog near us, but during the night we heard nothing so it didn't bother us at all. So if you are nervous around dogs this may not be the hotel for you. However it is lovely there. Very nicely decorated, a nice balance between chic boutique and welcoming homelyness. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We ate in the restaurant so didn't get to try the bistro. My other half loved his food, mine seemed a bit 'pub grub'ish but was competently cooked. They have a lovely beer garden with a large gazebo for the variable Scottish weather, overlooking the bridge across the river. (Drinks seemed a little on the pricey side) They don't have a car park, but there is a public one that isn't too expensive. Our room was quite nice, a little small, but our bathroom was large and opulent. Although for such an enormous bathroom there was quite a small shower cubicle and what should have been an impressive shower, but I the the shower was bought for it's aesthetics not it's function, which was not so great. So we had a beautiful copper bath that was gorgeous but impractical and a tiny shower with a naff shower head. BUT... That is actually minor. The hotel was lovely, we sat in the lounge after dinner with a drink really enjoying the laid back atmosphere. We would definitely go back to that hotel so we can explore the town more.

I really liked the hotel! I really liked the bed and the room was clean and nice. The food was certainly excellent too! And the staff was very friendly. It met my expectations perfectly!

As a party we have had a lovely 4 days. I need to say that all your staff are amazing. Credit also go your chefs as we had lovely dinners with you. Nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely stay again. B & K Meadow J & M Cunningham

Our first visit was back in April 2024 and we were greeted with a nice warm welcome from all members of staff, which continued throughout our short trip. Everyone was incredibly kind, friendly and helpful. Our room was magnificent, Room 10. The view over looks the River Tay and the garden terrace which was so peaceful, especially with a lovely bottle of champagne. Beautiful views in every direction - inside and out. Unfortunately, we did not dine with them on our first visit due to our plans but we made up for it when we returned in August 2024. A vast variety of choices from both the drinks and food menu, catering to all dietary preferences. Lovely presentation and very flavourful. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for not only its welcoming and cosy atmosphere but its unique design too. Also, the staff that go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. Very much looking forward to my next visit! Thank you.

Visited twice last week for dinner whilst in the area. Wonderful outdoor seating area by the river both open and under cover Good selection of alcoholic and none drinks and a varied food menu The food was all well cooked, tasty and enjoyable

We went for dinner at the weekend just last week and everything was outstanding. The warmth and hospitality we experienced was second to none, and staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Such great value for money and the true definition of "modern luxury". A must visit when in the area!

I have stayed here twice and we absolutely love it! The rooms are incredible with unique decor in every one of them. The service from the staff is impeccable. The food is fantastic with a wide range to pick for and we have never had anything other than perfection while eating here. The beer garden is probably one of the best I. Scotland, right on the banks of the Tay with plenty of areas to sit and a large drinks selection. We look forward to returning again.

Absolutely loved our stay here. Our room was beautiful. Food was delicious. Prices were competitive & reasonable. Loved seeing the one or two 4 legged guests that were there also. So much so we are returning with our 4 legged friend in September for her first night away in a hotel & we cannot wait. Trust me, I only write reviews when it matters & this beautiful place deserves my time & effort. Just book!!!

If there was an award for the worst pub lunch in Britain, the Atholl Arms would be award winning. This was by far the worst food I've ever been served and considering the ridiculous price, you'd expect some of the best. We ordered the vegan nachos which were truly awful. The chef has clearly never eaten good nachos, let alone good vegan nachos (perhaps the sort you'd find in Austin, Texas). They haven't even bothered to google search a recipe for vegan nachos. What we were served did not resemble nachos – I put more effort into feeding my dog. There was a thin layer of cheese melted on top, a very small pot of cheap, shop bought salsa, and a small pot of an unknown thick vegan creamy product. (not sour cream). Once the thin layer of cheesy chips were gone, all that remained was a bowl of tortilla chips with nothing to dip – i.e basically the entire meal was a bowl of dry, value brand tortilla chips. There was no guacamole, no beans, no chillies, no coriander. At £13 you'd expect homemade salsa (or at least quality shop bought), homemade guacamole, and some beans (Perhaps refried pinto or black beans), a garnish of coriander etc. Include some fake meat or queso and you might even be saying they're really good. Hot sauce should be a condiment as standard. Additionally, we had a very disappointing burger – at £19 you'd expect a top quality burger with all the trimmings and a decent portion of chips with condiments on the side (or at least in bottles).The burger wasn't the worst I've eaten, but considering the price, it's overwhelmingly the worst. It was basically a wetherspoons burger with a gerkin for 3 times the price. Rubbish portion of chips too with condiments in single use plastic sachets. The prices of this place deserve an extra mention – I can say for a fact, that people will order more drinks if the food was priced more in line with similar low end restaurants. Even the drinks were too expensive to order (£5 coffee!) – we went elsewhere to wash down this awful food.

Truly exceptional spot. The location is wonderful next to the river and bridge. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. The food was consistently delicious and the wine list had some great options. Also a truly dog friendly hotel who go out of their way to make any dog guests welcome. I look forward to my next visit!

Our group stayed here for 3-nights, in town for a veteran's hike (2024 Cataran Yomp) this past weekend. We booked up several rooms. Overall everyone had a wonderful experience. Professional, prompt service, great accommodation, and very nice breakfast. The location can't be beat and the riverside bar & restaurant is such a nice touch - we lucked out with a sunny Sunday and we relaxed riverside for hours after the hike. Will definitely be back next year!

I last stayed here 10 years ago. In that time it has changed ownership and has had a bit of a make over, for better and for worse….On the plus side the rooms have been redecorated and the bathrooms redone. The food was always good and now it is excellent. The whiskey selection is out of this world. The new owners are very friendly and welcoming. There is a covered outdoor seating area between the parking lot and river that serves food, drinks, and has live music at the weekends. The down side is that it has lost a lot of its charm. They installed a massive TV over the fireplace that replays screenshots from their website. A picture on the wall and an actual fire in the fireplace would be a lot more welcoming. They have an even larger TV in the outdoor seating area that shows the same screenshots. By far the most annoying thing about this place is the intrusive background “music” that plays everywhere at every time of the day, even in the outdoor seating area. If you have to play music maybe play some Scottish fiddle music (it is Scotland after all) not the kind of stuff you hear in an elevator….Overall it’s a nice enough hotel, but a tad expensive, and it could be anywhere.

Brilliant place Extremely dog friendly Food was lovely

A lovely little hotel with wonderful service and delicious food. Also the bathroom floors are heated, which is a lovely touch.

Super pet friendly, super people friendly

Stopped in for a drink, extremely overpriced green king beers, not a friendly welcome from any of the staff, and what seemed to be was a man in charge barking orders at people, one even vacuumed around some guests.

Beautiful boutique style hotel. We had a lovely room overlooking the River. Service was outstanding. Very dog friendly. Great Central location. Free hotel parking. Lovely breakfast.

Highly recommended. It's not cheap to stay and/or dine here, but it's an experience you'll never forget. We stayed for 2 nights recently, and dined here both nights, as well as a lunch and quite a few drinks and cocktails. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Food is excellent, and drinks on offer are good also. Rooms are well equipped and all areas are spotlessly clean throughout. It also happens to be in one of the most picturesque areas of Scotland. Ideal for walking if that is your thing, as it is for us.

This hotel must write their own reviews. £9.00 for 2 small cups of coffee!!! Unless you have money to burn avoid.

Nice meal ,would certainly recommend.

Dog friendly hotel. Went in for a cuppa and a scone after a long dog walk. Lovely place, great service and nice to be able to take your dog in too.

This was a nice locals place a few years ago but it is now overpriced regarding drinks. £7 for an icebreaker pale ale. Pity as nice looking place but you will not find many locals in there anymore

Dined here for lunch with my family after the Land Rover experience. The Sunday roast was lovely!

This is the first time I have stayed in Dunkeld and I am honestly so glad it was at the Atholl Arms, from the staff to the food, the lounge area and the rooms. This hotel is absolutely brilliant and a must if you are looking to explore Perth/dunkeld. You will certainly have a relaxing stay here.
