Scene

Inviting and homey traditional stone Victorian guest house

The Atholl Villa Guest House is housed in a 150-year-old
Victorian stone house located on Pitlochry’s main street. Interior decor, while in keeping with the Victorian property, might be a bit dated, but the overall effect is warm and inviting. A cozy open fireplace presides
over the lounge where an overstuffed couch and elegant upholstered chairs
inspire lingering. A soft color palette accentuates the sunlit space and
complements various gold-hued knickknacks, a chandelier, and gilt-framed
paintings and mirror. The adjoining dining room gets lots of natural light
from windows that span the width of the room and overlook the lovely garden. An exposed stone wall adds an atmospheric touch.

Location

Convenient location on Pitlochry’s main street, near restaurants and shops

The hotel is situated on the main street, Atholl Road, of
the small Victorian town of Pitlochry. The street is lined with restaurants,
bars, shops, and several other hotels and inns. The bus and train stations are
an eight-minute walk from the property. The location is a bit busy, so some
traffic and train noise might be audible, as the railway is nearby. The area is
surrounded by scenic countryside, hills, and mountains, and there are lots of
outdoor activities to do in the area, such as hiking and walking one of the
many trails or golfing at the Pitlochry Golf Course, which is a three-minute
drive from the property. Nearby sights worth visiting include beautiful Blair Castle
(a 13-minute drive) and the Blair Atholl Distillery, about a 10-minute walk.
Edinburgh is an hour and a half away.

fireplaces, and most have work desks and wardrobes. All rooms have flat-screen
TVs, tea- and coffee-making facilities (plus free cookies), and free Wi-Fi.

space, as well as a private one-bedroom apartment (sleeping up to four people)
