Atholl Arms Hotel

Highland Perthshire


This hotel, near Blair Atholl train station, is convenient for the castle, with rooms of a high standard; book ahead on weekends. The Bothy Bar here is the sibling pub of the Moulin Hotel in Pitlochry, snug with booth seating, an enormous fireplace and bucket-loads of character; there’s no better place to be when the rain is lashing down outside.
