Best AA Pub Scotland 2019/20 hotel with a River Tay salmon fishing school
Dining & Local Produce
The Meikleour Arms holds the Best AA Pub Scotland 2019/20 award and operates an in-house butchery that supplies all meat and game to its restaurant. The seasonal 'field to plate' menu uses produce from the hotel's kitchen garden and woodlands. Private dining experiences can be arranged for special occasions, and the bar and restaurant offer alfresco settings.

The hotel has rooms and self-catering cottages, including the Stable Cottages, Walled Garden and Coach House. Self-catering cottages include full kitchens and private gardens. Estate paths lead from the cottages down to the River Tay.

“I find the commitment to sourcing estate and local produce particularly commendable, evident in dishes like the estate venison and double-baked soufflé. The recent refurbishment of the bar area and the addition of the garden room restaurant have clearly elevated the guest experience, creating truly inspiring spaces. Staff recognition of returning guests, along with their attentive service, contributes significantly to the hotel's welcoming and elegant rural atmosphere.”
