Atholl Arms Hotel Dunkeld

Welcome pack, dog menu and dogs in the lounge and bistro

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A four-star hotel at the bridge in the middle of Dunkeld, looking over the River Tay. Dog-friendly rooms come with a mat, towel, water bowl and biscuits, and dogs can join you in the lounge and in Z's Bar & Bistro. It suits owners who want a village base with the river path at the door.

Why it's in the collection

The riverside path along the Tay starts beside the hotel and runs past Dunkeld Cathedral. Across the bridge, the Birnam Oak walk follows the opposite bank, and the Hermitage woodland is a short drive away.

Best suited for

Up to two dogs in a dog-friendly room, depending on breed and size, and never left alone in the room.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

GBP 25, GBP 25 for one dog or GBP 35 for two dogs

Dogs are welcome in the lounge and in Z's Bar & Bistro, on a lead. Dogs aren't in the Riverview restaurant. A dog shouldn't be left alone in the bedroom.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
