The Stable Snugs! We have four gorgeous cosy snug rooms. These are our entry level ground floor rooms and are located in the converted Stables on the estate, across the courtyard from the main hotel. These rooms are our smallest rooms and enjoy direct access to the outdoors and a patio area too. All of these snug rooms are furnished with a super king bed and can cosy twin. They are not suitable for more than two guests, but your four legged friend is welcome as these snugs are dog friendly, max one small dog per room in the snug and a nightly charge applies. However, we kindly request that the paw wash is used before you bring your dogs into the room. Atholl snug is slightly larger and is on the corner so enjoys a double aspect. However, floor space is limited in these rooms due to the superking size beds so if you require more space we would suggest a Walled Garden or Mansion House Room.

All are named after local places, Atholl, Blair, Rannoch & Struan.

All the snugs have ensuite wet rooms. Enjoy the privacy of the Stables Snugs each with their own entrance and furnished patio with all the convenience of the hotel and restaurant minutes walk away.

Railway Cottage

Railway Cottage is next to The Old Greenhouse and Kitchen Garden. It offers two separate stand alone en-suite rooms with magnificent open views out over the estate and countryside. The rooms are themed around the heritage of the Highland Railway Line and in particular The Black Island Platform which was situated just around the corner from the manse between Blair Atholl and The Old Manse of Blair. The rooms are decorated in a chic luxurious way a nod to the heritage and aptly named; The Signal Box & and The Ticket Office. Look out for the detail on the cushions, depicting the lanterns they would have used at night on the railway and the axels of the steam trains.

The rooms each with their own outdoor furnished patio which is bathed in sunlight and the perfect spot for relaxing. Please note there is an incline and these rooms are not suitable for guests with limited mobility. The Signal Box is a small double room. The Ticket Office has a Kingsize Bed and is a larger room with french doors to the patio. These rooms are dog friendly along with all our Stable Snugs too. The main house was used as offices of the Highland Railway Company from 1853 during the construction of the original railway, so the conversion and interior will reflect this period of history of the estate.
