The Grandtully Hotel
Modern Scottish heritage — tartan banished, genuine warmth kept. Think record players in rooms, a 'press for whisky' button in the library, and cocktails that change with the seasons.
Book Room 3 for a vinyl record player and the 'Pet Sounds' wallpaper; Room 8 for the balcony; Room 7 for the most natural light.
Why It Matters
Two AA Rosettes, Michelin Key for two consecutive years, and Michelin Guide listed. The restaurant's hyper-local sourcing (Isle of Mull crab, Perthshire wild mushrooms, no avocado, no salmon) is the real draw. Rates from £160/night including a four-course breakfast.
A former 1866 railway hotel, now one of Scotland's best small food-led stays. Eight rooms, a Michelin-listed restaurant, and The Tully Bar sit inside a stone building on the A827 overlooking the River Tay. Its sister property, Ballintaggart Farm, is two miles down the road and shares owners, ethos, and the cook school.
Where You'll Stay
3 room types available
Cosy Room
The smallest and most intimate of the eight rooms. King-size bed with bespoke headboard and a warm, hushed atmosphere. Walk-in dressing space, en-suite with heritage cast iron roll-top bath and separate shower. The rooftop terrace is its trump card — views to the forests and hills behind Grandtully.
KingPremium Plus Room
The most characterful tier. One room (Room 3) has a record player and a curated vinyl selection — Bob Dylan to Bananarama — plus 'Pet Sounds' wallpaper featuring badgers, guitars, and trumpets. Room 7 has the most windows of all eight rooms and can connect with Room 6 for friends and families. Room 8 has a sun-trap terrace for morning coffee or an evening Negroni.
King or Super-KingPremium Room
A step up in size and drama. Some premium rooms feature bold design touches, bespoke panelling, and ornamental fireplaces. Four of the eight rooms have roll-top baths — and premium rooms are among those that do. Each room has its own distinct tile colour and character.

Read the papers, enjoy live music, and work through a three-course seasonal lunch at the farm. Finish with marshmallows over the fire. A genuinely relaxed afternoon.
