Atholl Arms Hotel

Deep in the heart of Perthshire’s Big Tree Country, Dunkeld is an attractive and tranquil little town.

And one with a turbulent past.

From Jacobite era musket ball holes in the walls of the Cathedral to the tomb of the Wolf of Badenoch – said to have been killed after losing a chess game to the devil – Dunkeld’s colourful history lies just under the town’s surface.

Factor in modern day attractions such as walking, mountain biking, fishing, golfing and distillery tours, and Dunkeld has much to offer the visitor.

Explore it all with today’s Big Deal on a one or two night stay at the lovely Atholl Arms Hotel.

Most of Perthshire is easily accessible in around one hour from the Central Belt which makes this offer very convenient for a short break.

Warm welcome

The award-winning Dunkeld hotel has a great reputation for delivering a warm welcome, stylish rooms and excellent food.

The open fire in the Meeting Place bar is a big attraction after a day spent exploring the surrounding countryside and, during the warmer months, the riverside terrace is a popular spot for drinks.

Historic setting

The historic Atholl Arms Hotel is at the head of the five arched bridge over the river Tay that leads into the charming conservation village and cathedral city of Dunkeld.

Only twelve miles from Perth, it has seventeen cosy ensuite rooms while its RiverView Restaurant and Meeting Place bar have won several awards for their local and seasonal menus.

Available seven days

Today’s Big Deal is for a one or two night stay. Both are available seven days a week, with very limited weekend availability.

Option one is for two people to stay one night in a double or twin room with a full Scottish breakfast in the morning. The offer also includes a bottle of wine in your room on arrival.

Option two is the same as option one but is for two consecutive nights stay.

The ensuite double rooms feature free WiFi, flat screen TVs, hairdryers and hot drinks trays.

Depending on availability, there may be the option to upgrade to a river-view room for a £15 per night supplement.

There is a supplement of £35 per room per night for Friday and Saturday night stays, which are very limited.

Fresh and local

Cooked to order, a full Scottish breakfast each morning is included in this Big Deal. If you take other meals in the hotel then you are in for a culinary treat.

The hotel’s RiverView Restaurant has won recognition from Eat Scotland, The Gourmet Society, Scotch Beef Club, Cittaslow Perth and The Scottish Hotel Awards.

Both the restaurant and the Meeting Place bar use locally sourced ingredients to create seasonal menus.

‘We just keep coming back… As ever, a wonderfully friendly welcome for the two of us and the two dogs… outstanding pizzas we had on the second night, possibly the best I’ve had outside Italy. The dogs loved curling up by the fire, and seemed quite put out when we made them go for walks.’
