Atholl Arms - A pet-friendly Highland hotel near Blair Castle with traditional Scottish dining and outdoor activities

Atholl Arms offers 31 individually decorated rooms, each featuring tartan designs, en-suite facilities, and tea/coffee amenities. Some rooms accommodate pets with a £10 nightly charge. The hotel serves traditional Scottish cuisine in the Baronial Dining Room or Bothy Bar, prepared using local produce. Located at the gateway to Cairngorms National Park, Atholl Arms is just a 5-minute walk from Blair Castle and Blair Atholl train station, providing direct rail links from London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. The surrounding area features outdoor activities including hiking, fishing, and golf, while Pitlochry Theatre and distilleries are nearby.

Pros

The hotel's central staircase, designed by Francis Bernasconi, spans 30.5 m across four storeys.

Proximity to Blair Castle (0.5 km) and outdoor activities like salmon fishing and hill walking.

Pet-friendly rooms available with prior arrangement.

Traditional Scottish dishes served in historic dining spaces with a minstrels' gallery.

Cons

Some rooms may feature twin beds instead of doubles unless requested in advance.

The 9-hole golf course nearby lacks championship-level facilities.

“The crackling log fires, especially in the dining room at breakfast, define its character, suggesting the best time to visit is during the colder months. Originally constructed in the 1860s with the arrival of the railway, the hotel retains a uniquely Scottish, Victorian atmosphere, with some eccentricities-the antiquated gents' bathroom is a highlight. With its cozy Bothy Bar, comfortable rooms, and friendly service, this hotel provides a distinctly welcoming experience.”
