- Location and views
- Room and atmosphere was very good. Friendly service and very efficient. Stag head bar very good
Cons -
- Price of drinks, food and service
- Well for this money I was expecting a wee bit more. I ask for bath that’s never happened, shower was broken or never worked correctly some of the room supplies was missing ( iron ). At the spa steam room was shut down or never worked. So money value I paid to stay am very disappointed. Poor
- Spa facilities ok. Massage short and expensive jacuzzi full of such much clothing it made our eyes eater. Steam room was cold and felt grubby. Food tasty, but lacked creative flair. Verandah overpriced for what it presented. Service was always good.

We love the Atholl Palace. Staff are friendly. Location is beautiful. It’s a short walk to town. Well maintained grounds with lovely walks. Since it was my husband’s birthday we received an upgrade and a thoughtful gift which was much appreciated.
Sauna was out of order.
Restaurant food was very good the bar meal was also good.The room wasn't a little disappointing.
The quality of the room was basic for the price we paid.
Ambiance, excellent staff, quality of rooms and venue.
Steam room not working and no sauna.
The setting was beautiful and close to Pitlochry. Very comfortable room. Comfortable lounge areas. Loved the history.
Coffee machine in room was broken. Steam room not working in the spa. Surprised no sauna.
Enjoyed our break staff very helpful in everyway breakfast very good dinner was good
Really elegant interior, stunningly beautiful building both inside and out. Staff friendly and welcoming. Old world charm combined with modern comfort. Beautiful grounds.
Temperature in hotel a little too high for me. Turned bedroom radiator completely off.
Had a fantastic relaxing stay in the Bothy lodge. Everything was perfect from arrival to check out. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. Beautiful lodge grounds and hotel. We will definitely be back.Thankyou
Everything was lovely. Bit pricey in the bar but to be expected.
Very comfortable, spacious surroundings set in beautiful grounds. Great room. Most staff very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our visit. Many thanks
Just a couple of niggles. Some staff in bar efficient but rude. Meals great with one exception (dry chicken)
Lovely staff which I couldn’t fault. Cosy sofas set up around multiple fires. Gorgeous grounds and looks grand from the outside.
Although it’s a period property it is looking dated : tired and could do with a refresh whilst keeping with the style. I felt it wasn’t good value for money and wouldn’t give it 5 stars.
Friendliness of staff. Delicious afternoon tea and boxed leftovers for later! Warm and cosy throughout hotel. Good parking. Lovely grounds.
Nothing negative to say
I had booked this stay for myself, my daughters and my daughter in law. we had also booked the spa for some treatments on Saturday followed by afternoon tea. We had a lovely time, the staff were so friendly and polite, nothing was too much bother for any of them.
Nothing, everything was to a very high standard.
Great location. The bothy was a great little self catered lodge, well equipped kitchen.
The steam room wasn't very hot or steamy.
Comfortable room, all meals, evening and breakfast were very good, staff were excellent and made you feel really welcome. Highland Soap in the room was great for shower use. Really liked the museum, learnt a bit about the hotel from when it was built, that was interesting.
Pity the sauna and steam room was closed, but understand work had to be done and they had to close the area. Its such a big hotel and there were signs of water ingress in areas, its not a complaint, it must be hard work with the maintenance of the building, sadly it made a few areas unsightly, but it was clear work was being done to try and stop the leaks.
Great location
Window was broken , high winds outside causing water and wind to blow through the room. They moved us room with little fuss
Location. Dinner. Breakfast.
Reception staff a bit surly.
Beautiful location views, comfortable clean rooms, lovely swimming pool, amazing dining experience
Staff varied between being incredibly friendly to a little cold, some were better than others,,my only slight disappointment.
A lovely old hotel, the room I stayed in was tastefully modernised without taking away from the character. The staff were all lovely, my room was spotlessly clean. Lovely wee touches like The Highland Soap Co. being used in the bathroom/shower, nespresso machine in room. Pool facilities were nice. Bar was cosy, very large whisky selection. Breakfast buffet was good, a nice selection of fruits, yogurts, juices, cooked items, pastries, muesli etc. Hotel was very warm despite the cold weather and single glazing! Gardens were nice for a walk around. Just on the outskirts of town so lovely and quiet with good views.
The odd thing could do with a refresh but overall no real complaints.
