Lovely hotel, super dog friendly, brilliant beer garden and gorgeous food. We had such a lovely time. It was the first time we had stayed at a hotel with our dog and the staff couldn't have done more for us. So accommodating and made such a fuss over him. They really go over and above being dog friendly. We had lunch and a few drinks in the beer garden, loved the live music on it really created such a nice vibe. Then dinner at the bistro and drinks in the lounge at night. We will 1 million % be back.

Be careful with this booking. There is also another Atholl Arms close by in Blair Atholl. We booked this Atholl Arms by mistake and they refused to credit us a 40 deposit when we called to cancel the table. 40 goes a long way to feeding our 4 year old rather than feeding the mouths of stubborn restaurant managers. Shame on you.

Lovely location near the river. The decor was odd but worked. There was music playing which is good because you can't hear other people and there's no silence but the actual music did my head in a bit. The staff were pleasant. The food was amazing but fairly expensive. All in all, pretty good.

Food overpriced and customer service could be better. Not too happy with the food or menu description and no refund offered. Disappointed.
