Meikleour Arms Meikleour, Perthshire, PH2 6EB

  • 11 bedrooms

Estate-to-plate dining and elegant country rooms

The Meikleour Arms is a handsome country inn set in the conservation village of Meikleour, surrounded by the woods, farmland and scenery of the historic Meikleour Estate. Close to the River Tay and around four miles from Blairgowrie, it combines the warmth of a traditional Scottish pub with an unmistakable French influence, creating a distinctive base for exploring Perthshire. Its 11 beautifully decorated bedrooms pair elegant country-house style with French antiques, crisp linen and marble bathrooms, while additional serviced cottages offer more space for longer stays. Food is central to the experience. The AA Rosette restaurant follows a genuine field-to-plate philosophy, drawing venison, game, vegetables, herbs and other ingredients from the estate and surrounding countryside. Salmon fishing on the Meikleour Estate’s own stretch of the River Tay and golf packages with nearby Blairgowrie Golf Club add another dimension to a stay.

Food & Drink

Dining at the Meikleour Arms has a strong sense of place, combining British country cooking with the estate’s longstanding French influence. Guests can eat in the rustic Barn, woodland-inspired Atrium and intimate Private Dining Room, with tables also in the garden during the warmer months. The wine list reflects the inn’s Franco-Scottish personality too, ranging from clarets and its own house wine to bottles from Italy, Spain and the New World. The bar offers a more informal setting and serves local beer, Perthshire gin, wine, coffee and homemade cake.
