Highlights

Location: six miles north of Perth

Accommodation: six comfortable letting rooms

Dining: home-cooked meals using local produce

Entertainment: live folk music sessions

“This historic inn, dating back to 1760, offers a step back in time with modern comforts. I appreciate the blend of traditional charm and community engagement, particularly the weekly music sessions and locally sourced dining. While exploring the surrounding Perthshire countryside may require a bit of planning due to limited local transport, the experience of staying in this family-run, pet-friendly establishment is one of true Scottish hospitality.”

great pressure freshly made breakfast handpumps little demand
The shower had GREAT water pressure. Breakfast was freshly made, and Shanelle was very friendly at breakfast!
The handpumps for ale were OUT of action. We were told that there was little demand for real ale, i found this disappointing.

the room was clean and spacious. the staff was friendly enough.
i asked for a double room, but it seemed more like they gave me the single masquerading as a double. the tv was small, and i think my phone screen might be bigger. the shower had fluctuating temperatures, so i did not have a relaxing time.
