Wunderbare Übernachtung mit Schloss-Flair
Pros:

Unser kurzer Aufenthalt im Atholl Palace war einfach unvergesslich. Das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich und wir haben ein gratis Upgrade erhalten. Die Betten waren sehr bequem, die Zimmer sehr ruhig mit wunderbarem Ausblick über die umliegende Natur und das Frühstücksbuffet reichhaltig. Die Atmosphäre in diesem „Schloss“ hat uns sehr gefallen und das hauseigene Museum war auch sehr charmant gemacht.
Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen!

Cons:

Nichts auszusetzen!

Let with a smile on my face, after staying there, no regrets at all.
Pros:

Comfortable room, all meals, evening and breakfast were very good, staff were excellent and made you feel really welcome. Highland Soap in the room was great for shower use. Really liked the museum, learnt a bit about the hotel from when it was built, that was interesting.

Cons:

Pity the sauna and steam room was closed, but understand work had to be done and they had to close the area. Its such a big hotel and there were signs of water ingress in areas, its not a complaint, it must be hard work with the maintenance of the building, sadly it made a few areas unsightly, but it was clear work was being done to try and stop the leaks.

Cosy, comfortable and relaxing!
Pros:

A lovely old hotel, the room I stayed in was tastefully modernised without taking away from the character. The staff were all lovely, my room was spotlessly clean. Lovely wee touches like The Highland Soap Co. being used in the bathroom/shower, nespresso machine in room. Pool facilities were nice. Bar was cosy, very large whisky selection. Breakfast buffet was good, a nice selection of fruits, yogurts, juices, cooked items, pastries, muesli etc. Hotel was very warm despite the cold weather and single glazing! Gardens were nice for a walk around. Just on the outskirts of town so lovely and quiet with good views.

Cons:

The odd thing could do with a refresh but overall no real complaints.
