Kinnaird Estate Accommodation

Perched high in the beautiful wooded valley of the Tay, sits one of Scotland's most unique hotels: Kinnaird.

Situated in a magnificent 9,000 acres of the most spectacular Perthshire countryside, the Kinnaird Estate comprises the original Edwardian mansion, now a luxury hotel where guest pampering is the order of each and every day, and eight charmingly furnished individually-styled cottages, located at secluded spots around the Estate.

For those guests who return every year, Kinnaird and its guest cottages offer a secluded and restful haven, where the stresses of the outside world soon become a distant memory. However, it's not all just relaxation. In fact perhaps the most pleasing aspect of a stay at Kinnaird is that it can be just about as peaceful or as lively as you wish it to be.

The pleasures of a visit to Kinnaird

One of the pleasures of a visit to Kinnaird is the comfort and elegance that the owner Constance Ward and her superb staff have created to welcome every guest. The house, parts or which date back to the 1770's, has been furnished almost entirely with fine and rare pieces of antique furniture, china and pictures.

There are nine guest bedrooms in all, each one stylishly decorated and designed in its own distinctive way, featuring a gas log fire as well as its own luxurious bathroom, in the traditional style of the house.

Prominent among Kinnaird's many shared areas is the panelled Cedar Room, where guests can relax before and after meals in the deep-cushioned armchairs and sofas. Beautiful pictures, family mementoes - including cases displaying many of the fine salmon caught on the Kinnaird Beat - and comfortable sofas help create a wonderful cosy atmosphere, enhanced in winter-time by the roaring log fire.

Discover the great outdoors

Active-minded guests can cast for trout or salmon on the Tay or one of the three lochs on the Estate, knock a ball about on the all-weather tennis court, discover the traditional excitement of the croquet and bowling lawns, walk for miles through the majestic surrounding countryside, play golf nearby, shoot clay pigeons, go horseback riding; the activity list goes on and on...

Dining at Kinnaird is a gourmet's delight

Chef draws on his experience at many of the country's finest hotels to create an imaginative and beautifully presented menu, using the finest of local produce whenever possible. The wine cellar and the extensive selection of aperitifs and traditional mal whiskies complement the delicious food. The restaurant and the private dining room are both exquisitely decorated; the hand-painted Italian frescoes in the restaurant being a rare sight to behold, and both rooms offer guests magnificent views over the Tay Valley and the lush hotel gardens.
