A few months ago, we were looking for a party/dinner location for about 35 guests for our wedding at the Hermitage last week. After visiting several hotels in Dunkeld and Birnham that 'just didn't feel right', we quickly settled on the Atholl Arms after a visit. Where other hotels would only offer us the location for a few hours and... More

We had a river room and frankly the view was so nice we could have been sleeping in a pig sty and would have still be happy. The room (number 7) was a little backdated and would benefit from a refurb but it's such a delightful village it was not an issue whatsoever. Only minor hiccoughs were we ran out... More

Thank you for your review. Our rooms are styled in that of the period of our 180 year old hotel and this can sometimes be confused with being backdated, although I do appreciate you did admire our views from the room. The breakfast, albeit a problem on your first morning was resolved, by as you say a completely different experience... More

This hotel is pretty old and we stayed in bedroom No.1 which had a view onto the street. The room was clean and comfortable but the decor was a bit dated. The en suite had a full size bath with excellent shower and loads of hot water. The light in the en suite was poor and not helped by the... More

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I am glad you found your room to be clean and comfortable. Many of our rooms have baths and yes, room 1 does have a great shower also. We have since been in to look at the light and changed the bulb from a low energy to a brighter... More

Booked and paid extra for a river view room in feb but think the cheaper room at the back of the hotel where we stayed on oct 2011 was better in terms of size and bathroom with a window instead of an internal shower room. Hotel has had dining room modernised since last visit- wooden floors., and 'modern' not so... More

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. As you have found, all of our rooms are different, many with baths and some with bath and shower. As we continue to modernize we try our best to keep the look of the original character hence the new solid doors on the rooms, wallpaper in the dining room... More

Thank you for taking time to review your recent stay to the hotel and whilst you enjoyed our fresh cooked breakfast, I am disappointed that you felt the room did not come up to your expectations. The hotel dates back to 1833 and our aim is to retain period features and offer a homely atmosphere, which differs from modern travel... More

From the arrival to departure nothing was too much trouble for the staff here. Our bags were taken upstairs, our room was spotless and the service in the dining room and bar were excellent. This is a very pleasant and atmospheric hotel and our room (room 9) had a beautiful view of the bridge and river. I would definetely stay... More

Stayed here one night heading north on A9. A great little hotel, just over the Tay river. Lots of improvements have been carried out to rooms, reception areas, function rooms which greatly improve the place. Service was good, and although we dined out in evening the breakfast was very nice. Just down the river is the famous Tay Banks pub,... More

We stayed here for 2 nights mid January. The hotel was warm and staff friendly and helpful. We were in room No1 on the first floor, I must say it was not the best of rooms, the floor was very much on a slope allthough it was clean and warm. The bathroom was adequate with bath/shower but could do with... More

Thanks for your review. The gentle sloping floor you mention is one of the quirks of our 180 year old hotel that helps retains its character. I am glad you enjoyed your breakfast as this is something we proud ourselves on. Next time time, we can show you one of our river view rooms for a different experience. More

We stayed in the Atholl Arms a Friday / Saturday, overall a good experience, this is an old building with lots of character some areas of the hotel would benefit from an upgrade however to be fair they are currently renovating.
