Award-winning country pub hotel in rural Perthshire with an in-house butchery and salmon fishing school

Dining

The hotel's restaurant holds the title of Best AA Pub Scotland 2019/20 and offers a seasonal 'field to plate' menu. All meat and game come from the hotel's own butchery, using produce from their kitchen garden and woodlands. Guests can also dine alfresco in the courtyard or book private dining for special occasions.

Rooms

Accommodation includes rooms in the main building and self-catering cottages in the Stables and Walled Garden, all with en-suite bathrooms and tea/coffee facilities. The Stables cottages provide full kitchens, washer-dryers, and log fires with logs restocked daily. Each room is furnished with quality beds, Arran toiletries, and a sherry decanter with homemade shortbread.

Pet-Friendly

The hotel welcomes dogs in both accommodations and the dining room, with pet bowls and pet baskets provided. A dog walker can be arranged through the hotel so guests can enjoy dinner without their pet. The estate includes a safe pebble beach on the River Tay for dog swimming and walks through the woods.

The hotel owns a salmon fishing school on the nearby River Tay and provides all equipment free of charge (advanced booking recommended). Blairgowrie Golf Club, established in 1889, is 4 miles away. Guests can also canoe, cycle, hike, horse ride, or play darts on the estate.

lovely stay!

beautiful decor quality linens friendly staff super clean rooms
the hotel had beautiful decor and comfy furniture. beds had high quality linens. the provided aran products meant i did not need to pack toiletries. the location had a wonderful view of copper beech hedges. staff were friendly and helpful always. rooms and public areas were spotlessly clean. the food taste good. breakfast was cooked to order. i will be back soon and have recommended it to my friends. the experience was great!
the dining room lights are overpowering. this was observed not only by me but also by the next table. the owners should consider adding a dimmer. they could lower lights in the dining room in the evening.

Charming Getaway

scenic location attentive housekeeping personalized service
The location is scenic. The sounds of birdsong, trees, and the countryside created a relaxing atmosphere. Housekeeping provided a five-star service each day. It included a cheerful chat.
The room was a bit too warm. opening the skylight windows at night resolved the issue.

Good Stay with Excellent Local Produce

fresh produce helpful staff fine views
The food was excellent. They use local fresh produce. The staff and barman were very helpful. I found the lodge tastefully decorated, which suits the building. I also enjoyed the historical aspects. River views from the lodge were fine.
The restaurant and bar lacked atmosphere. The breakfast menu was a bit sparse. I thought the porridge was horrible!

The room was spotlessly clean. Furnishings and decor were tastefully selected. The bathroom was immaculate, including both a bath and a separate walk-in shower.
Service

All staff members were friendly. Staff were also helpful. All produce is sourced as locally as possible. The sausages, made in their own butchery, were especially delicious.

Adequate Hotel Visit

lovely garden private parking muddy carpark flight stair
My room was spacious and very clean. The provided dishes and cutlery were sterilized. This was reassuring. The accommodation had direct access to a lovely garden and private parking was included. I liked it.
The car park was muddy. It was covered in lakes. The room was across the carpark and up a flight of stairs. First impressions were not good.
