Atholl Villa Guest House 4 stars

Pitlochry

Situated in the town of Pitlochry, Atholl Villa Guest House is a privately owned Victorian building, offering views of Ben Vrackie. It has free parking and retains many original features, such as open fireplaces and wooden sash windows. What an absolutely SUPERB accomodation! This was our third visit to Pitlochry and as far as we're concerned, Atholl Villa tops anywhere we stayed previously. Excellent, attentive and helpful staff. Outstanding breakfasts, with host asking us to make our choice(s) the night prior. Lovely dining room downstairs. We were surprised how quiet it was, even though the accomodation is right on the "main drag" through town. A very well maintained, beautifully kept property. Easyyy walking distance to downtown area. We had tickets to see the Enchanted Forest one night and the walk to the bus pick up point was 10 minutes away. Blair Athol distillery 10-15 minute walk in the opposite direction. Laundry services nearby to catch up on travel washing. Our upstairs room was clean, well-appointed and nice view. For the most part, we felt good value for the money spent.
