The atholl arms is a must stop if you're in the area. The food is always great, they do a Sunday lunch but normally only one meat on and no veggie Sunday lunch option. But the service is great and the atmosphere is wonderful, it's a proper Highland hotel

Very friendly and helpful staff. Only used the bar area this time. Did think about eating but once we found being charged "London" prices for 2 beers, decided to give the expensive menu a miss

Just returned from a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is the most dog friendly, place we have ever stayed, of course the dogs must have good social behaviour to cope with other dogs , the hotel provides snacks ,bowl and blanket for the stay in the owners bedroom. Dogs can be in the bar area and lounge, the staff are all dog friendly and very supportive. Specially zsolt and the chap from South Africa

Few restaurants really deserve their 5 stars but this one.......I would give 10 if i could. Excellent service, beautiful food perfectly served and tasted amazing. Yes!! All VEGAN!! Fantastic all round experience in a beautiful restaurant. 5 stars doesnt really convey the message. Thankyou for a WONDERFUL birthday lunch.

Thoroughly confused about the good reviews for this hotel. It is awful. The room (and hotel in general) are so tackily decorated. The rooms are run down. Mine had a cracked window, disgusting bathroom, toilet didnt flush properly, hot water didnt get warm, the most uncomfortable bed, very thin walls (was treated to the sound of my neighbor snoring all night). The food is disgusting (bedsides the soup), I couldnt eat much of it and what I did eat made me sick later that night. It is ridiculously overpriced. There are many other better and nicer places to stay (literally two doors down)
