Clean, welcoming and comfortable, great value for money, good food in the restaurant, and a hearty breakfast. A real fire in the lounge would be a bonus!

We stayed here for one night only. The welcome was warm and friendly but I feel the rooms are in need of a refurb and redecoration as they are gloomy and tired. We had a river view room but it was quite disappointing...the bed was very old and the decor dark,

However, the food in the bistro/dining room was top notch and we both agree we had the freshest fish and chips we have ever eaten. The staff were friendly and attentive serving coffee in the lounge in front or a roaring log fire.

The hotel is small and informal offering few of the luxuries of the big hotel chains but that is part of the charm and in terms of VFM The Atholl Arms is a good choice.

Our room was perhaps in need of a refurb but bright enough with huge, heavy curtains to keep out the draughts from the old sash window. It overlooked the main street and so we did have early morning deliveries, dustmen etc disturbing our peace. The bathroom was quite large with only an over the bath type shower. In an attempt to be 'green' presumably, it has low wattage bulbs that give so little light it is hard to see at all and without a window this meant that the room was very gloomy.
The pub next door has a fabulous atmosphere, live music from locals and serves really great food and so we didn't sample the evening menu at the hotel. The menu looked traditional.

We found the breakfast service left lots to be desired - we had the last clean table and other guests arriving after us had to clear their own before even being able to sit. The young man on duty seemed only there to take orders and deliver food. He actually moved our cereal bowls out of the way to sit the coffee pot down then just left them there. My poached eggs on toast arrived without any toast and in a puddle of water. Luckily, I could drain it off into the bowls we still had! I had to wait a good few minutes for any toast and when it arrived it was cold and he placed the basket on top the old cereal bowls! Only as we were about to leave did the woman who had been on Reception finally come to clear tables but by that time service was at an end.
Staff training is perhaps called for but the car park and central positon alongside the reasonable room rates make this a good choice overall.

This is an older hotel in the small town of Dunkeld north of Perth. The town is not as quaint as many others we visited, the hotel not as cozy and modern, but the management made up for any flaws we might have found. Our room was spacious but plain, the bathroom large and dimly lit but reasonably clean. Not spectacular but no complaints there. There is a large sitting area, several dining areas, and a nice bar. Dinner was very good - my wife asked our good natured but less than knowledgeable server what a steak and ale pie was, and 2 minutes later the night manager showed up to give her a detailed description - and she loved it! A couple of hours later in the bar I asked for a local whisky - the bartender was stumped but 2 minutes later our same helpful manager whisks in with a quick lesson on regional whiskys, the taste differences, and a recommendation. We couldn't have been more impressed.
