Good Hotel Guide Review
In a Victorian fishing lodge on the Meikleour estate, owned by the same Franco-Scottish family since 1362, this characterful country inn benefits from a verdant woodland setting and a double-bank salmon beat on the River Tay. The dog-friendly pub and oak-beamed restaurant have pleasingly rustic touches; a cheering wood-burner blazes between the two. At mealtimes, produce from the estate’s fields, forest and kitchen garden is cooked with Gallic zest in dishes such as rillettes of loch trout; cheddar soufflé, leek fondue. Spacious bedrooms in the main building are charmingly decorated with a rural French ambience; more modern rooms, with a private garden, are in outlying cottages and the newly converted stables.
