Wake up to the quiet of the Highlands, step outside into the grounds of Atholl Palace and decide what kind of day you want to have. Explore Pitlochry and beyond, wander through the estate, enjoy a swim or book some time in the spa. Or simply slow down and enjoy having nowhere you need to be.
Our cottages, lodges and apartments give you the freedom of your own place, with the experience of Atholl Palace just moments away. Prepare breakfast in your own kitchen or wander over to the hotel. Spend the day exploring together, then return to a space that feels like your own. And when nobody feels like cooking, you can leave the evening meal to us.
Whether you are planning a romantic weekend, a family break or a few days away with friends, discover the Highlands your way, with the space and independence of self catering and the comforts of a historic Scottish hotel close at hand.
