I just got back from Scotland- spend 2 nights at the property. Friend was getting married. The property is pretty from the outside, nice gardens. The inside- needs a bit of work. Wallpaper peeling from ceilings, DIY tile job, scratchy sheets. Breakfast was okay- very greasy. The dinner at the hotel- as part of the wedding meal- was above average.... more

The Atholl Palace is full of character and is very Victorian in feel. If you're looking for perfection (e.g. everything looks like a new Marriott Hotel), then don't stay here. If you like old-fashioned charm, then this is the place. We lucked out with a great room, view of the hills from turret in bathroom. Front desk was helpful, if... more

When looking at the Atholl palace website, we thought we had found the perfect old Scottish castle we wanted to sleep in. But it was indeed far from perfect. First, the reception people weren't nice at all and didn't even indicate us our room, just told us our room number. We took the very small elevator (we found only one... more

We got married there on 16th July with 130 guests staying from England, Scotland and Ireland. Not one single complaint. What a fantastic location for a wedding. The staff were attentive, the food in the hotel and the wedding was amazing and the rooms were beautiful. The Hotel is old but hey, who wants modern in the Scottish Highlands. The... more

The bedroom was comfortable with superb views, the staff were helpful and friendly but no senior staff to be seen. The location was very good indeed. The £25 table d'hote menu was pedestrian and the food dire. Two 3/4 full mains plates were removed without comment which says it all!. Escape to the a la carte with mains (including veg... more

I'd refer you to the review titled "What this could be" for a VERY accurate assessment and would echo those comments. Though, I will add that the nice website and hotel brochures, whilst not blatantly deceptive, are more indicative of Atholl Palace's apparently excellent marketing department or firm than reality. We had booked a "valley view" room which was not... more

You can certainly see why this used to be THE place to visit in the area. The building is magificent, the grounds beautiful and the location and surroundings are just majestic. Sadly, time has not treated this grand old lady well. Although the public rooms are mangificently situated with awesome views over the town of Pitlochry and local countryside, their... more

Stayed for two nights in the Atholl Palace Hotel (Friday 6th April - Sunday 8th April 2007). I was a bit concerned regarding the reception staff at the hotel going from previous reviews but can honestly say they were very pleasant. On arrival at the hotel we were welcomed by the staff and offered a Glayva whisky to welcome us... more

We stayed for a romantic weekend on 16th & 17th February 2007. On arrival we were amazed at the fantastic structure of this hotel, the drive up to the hotel is lined with trees and the view of the hotel from the driveway is wonderful, we even spotted a red squirrel!! We were give a welcome drink on arrival and... more
