"Another truly memorable visit to the Palace. We are a group of couples who have now attended the AP Christmas party nights for seven years. We have always enjoyed very comfortable stays with some delicious food in the picturesque surroundings. Once again, a fabulous stay was enjoyed by us all. The ladies always look forward to the room allocations, however this year, my wife and I were allocated a turret suite which provided a perfect setting for everyone to meet and catch up over a glass of bubbly prior to attending the evening party. We were not disappointed with the smoothly run evening function, the quality of the food and the service delivery. Special thanks go to Howard, who is a true ambassador of the hotel. His genuine concern for guest satisfaction is commendable. He greeted us charmingly in the morning and escorted us to our table. A wonderful time was had by us all and we have already submitted our registration to attend next year. Many Thanks to your team for an excellent trip." The Austin Party

"My friends and I have all returned home safely from our FABULOUS stay at Atholl Palace. I just had to write immediately to tell you how overwhelmed/delighted we all were with our whole experience. I was hoping for a wee banner/balloons or table confetti to recognise our special occasion but the balloons, prosecco and sweet treats superseded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. Everyone seemed to recognise our special occasion from the girl who took our table wine order ( she asked if we liked the balloons) to the waiters and waitresses. The whole experience was exceptional and I would like this to be conveyed to the staff, people are very critical these days and often don’t give praise when deserved. The bed was super comfy, the rooms and bathrooms were spotless and the breakfast was delicious. All in all 5*, one of my friends said earlier “you’re in danger of us returning!!!” Thanks again for everything, we had a ball."

“Just love coming to the Atholl Palace Christmas party weekend. Stunning location, excellent facilities, quirky rooms. The staff cannot be more helpful. Party begins with canapes & fizz in the lounge, with band to get you in the Christmas mood. The meal followed by ceildih band and packed dance floor for the ceilidh, just gets you in the mood for the disco!”

"We've been to a few Christmas party nights over the years, but this was definitely one of the best. The food was excellent, the entertainment was fantastic and the whole evening ran so smoothly. The hotel looked beautiful and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. We hope to come back and stay in the Summer."

"Hi would just like to say that our work Christmas party at Atholl Palace was fantastic. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the entertainment really got everyone involved. The ceilidh was a particular highlight, followed by the DJ which kept everyone dancing until late. Going for a refreshing swim in the morning was a great way to end our stay. We will definitely be back!"
