Atholl Arms Hotel

The Atholl Arms Hotel has a lovely location by the banks of the River Tay in Dunkeld, Perthshire.

Sitting by the head of a five arch bridge that spans the river, the hotel has been welcoming guests since 1833.

Naturally, it has changed a lot since then. Not least since it came under new management in 2018.

Recently, it has seen extensive refurbishment; the introduction of fresh dining choices and a vibrant new buzz about the place.

The hotel scooped several prizes at this year’s Scottish hotel Awards including Regional Winner for Bar Dining and National Winner for being a pet-friendly hotel. The owners are especially proud of the latter.

Experience it for yourself with this autumnal Big Deal on a one or two night stay for two at the Atholl Arms.

Big Tree County

Perthshire is sometimes called the Big Tree County and as the leaves begin to change colour, this is a beautiful time to see all that it has to offer.

Whether you fancy a round of golf, a fishing break or a simple woodland stroll, the charming conservation village of Dunkeld is a great base from which to explore highland Perthshire.

Relaxing getaway

Available seven days a week (weekend supplements apply) until the 19th of December, this offer has three options.

Option one is for two people to enjoy a one night bed and breakfast stay.

Option two is for a one night stay with dinner and breakfast.

Option three is for a two night bed and breakfast stay with dinner on the first night.

Dinner is a £50 per couple spend in either the hotel’s cosy Bistro or the new Seafood House Restaurant.

The recently refurbished bistro offers traditional British food with a modern twist.

A short stroll from the Atholl Arms, The Seafood House is a new restaurant launched by the hotel earlier this year.

As well as Wagyu beef, pork, lamb and game, the kitchen serves seafood dishes such as butter-poached sea trout with flageolet beans, pistou and samphire.

Cosy rooms

Room facilities include en-suite bathrooms, free WiFi, flat screen TV, hot drinks facilities and hairdryers.

‘Just the best. Just back from our second stay at the Atholl Arms. First stay was wonderful and our wee rescue dog had a ball. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and particularly her… Great for dogs, great for humans! A beautiful setting and very comfortable all round. Take yourself along for a wee break. You won’t be disappointed.’
