Atholl Palace Hotel

Victorian hydro above Pitlochry with the lowest dog rate in Perthshire

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.
An enormous Victorian hydropathic hotel standing above Pitlochry in 48 acres of woodland, turreted and grey and impossible to miss from the town. It has a museum of its own history, a pool and a spa, and self-catering apartments, cottages and lodges dotted around the grounds. It suits families and touring parties rather than couples after a small hotel. Dogs are taken in the pet-friendly apartments, cottages and lodges as well as Manor House rooms, at GBP 10 a night.

Why it's in the collection

Black Spout Wood and its waterfall sit immediately below the hotel grounds, and the Pitlochry Path Network links from there down to the dam and along the River Tummel.

Best suited for

Two pets per room in the pet-friendly units and Manor House rooms, and none in the main hotel bars or restaurant.

The open question

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

GBP 10, Per dog per night

Dogs stay in the pet-friendly apartments, cottages and lodges in the grounds, and in Manor House rooms. The bars and restaurant of the main hotel are people only. The 48 acres of woodland grounds are open to dogs on a lead. Housekeeping will not enter a room while a dog is in it, so a servicing time needs arranging. Assistance dogs stay free of charge.

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