In a former surgeon’s home built in the early 1800s, Andrea and Martin Anderson offer guests a ‘warm welcome’, ‘great local advice’ and, at a ‘superb breakfast’, a ‘divine’ Arnold Bennett omelette – perhaps just what the doctor ordered. The bucolic exterior belies the B&B’s contemporary interior: expect handsome, high-end wallpapers and Farrow & Ball colours. Split between the main house and converted stables, individually decorated rooms (three updated in 2017) are well equipped with coffee, teas and locally made biscuits. ‘Our delightful, spotlessly clean courtyard suite was well appointed, with comfortable chairs in a light, bright sitting area. Although the room is nearest to the road, we weren’t disturbed by traffic noise.’ Take in the morning over breakfast in the double-height, light-filled cedarwood extension overlooking ‘beautifully kept’ gardens. The morning meal is a superlative one, guests say. Porridge comes with a choice of toppings (whisky, cream and sugar; Perthshire honey; summer berry compote); apple pancakes with grilled bacon are made, in season, with garden fruit. ‘The best breakfast of our Scottish tour!’ (DC)
