Killiecrankie House Restaurant in Perth & Kinross

My husband and I spend one night here with dinner and breakfast, and it was fabulous! Best meal we had the entire 3 weeks we were in Scotland and Ireland! The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. Would definitely come back here. They should be getting a Michelin star !

We had a fabulous lunch here. The cooking is inspired, very skilful, and consistently excellent. A really fantastic meal. The staff were all delightful and looked after us brilliantly throughout the meal. We'll be back!

Celebrating 20 years of marriage we decided to go to Killicrankie House for lunch. It was truly outstanding. The food is of the highest standard with such attention to detail. So much flavour in every bite. The location is idyllic and the staff very attentive and knowledgeable. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this restaurant and hopefully the next time we visit we can spend the night and experience their breakfast. Complete luxury... thank you to Tom and Matilda for making our wedding anniversary memorable.

Had a truly memorable dinner on our last night in the Highlands. One of the best meals we’ve ever had. The food is creative and expertly prepared, and the staff could not have been nicer. An added bonus - the soundtrack for the evening comes from LPs played on real turntables. A different staff member spins the tunes every night. Ours was fond of Lou Reed/Velvet Underground, Tears for Fear, U2, and Caravan Palace.

This place is just fantastic in every sense. Definitely a Michelin star waiting to happen.

Absolutely incredible dinner and stay. The staff were lovely, the food is by far the best we had in a month in Scotland, some of the best we’ve had anywhere in the world, I was googling it literally just to reminisce.

Service and food were top notch. The two female waiting staff had excellent attention to detail, things that most places completely miss. The food was great, I especially enjoyed the dish made with porridge, the cod that you barely touched and it just fell apart, and the mushroom and milk bread. Lovely little touches like being given a menu to take away in a nice envelope, and chef coming out to speak to everyone (but not in a pretentious type of way). Picturesque location and beautiful garden. Would definitely love to return.

Such a great experience to dine at Killiecrankie with beautiful local produce and with Japanese techniques! Kind and attentive service, beautiful surrounding and great food. Would have stayed at the hotel as well, had the rooms not been completely booked.

We visited for lunch on a Saturday and enjoyed it so much, that we decided to return and booked dinner and an overnight stay, before leaving. We loved the atmosphere, the surroundings, the hosts, and the food. There are some very talented people working here creating something exciting and different……keep up the great work and we can’t wait to return.

Amazing food with Scottish and Japanese flavours fused with phenomenal skill and subtlety. Great location. Where is the Michelin star….

Nestled in the plush scottish killiecrankie House, is a fusion cuisine and experience beyond excellent. Traditional Scottish grains, unctious sauces, freshest sea food, quality meats and the sweeties keep you wanting more. Wine pairing is faultless too. Gorgeous garden provides for most of their ingredients. The friendly team have thoughtfully curated a wonderful experience worth a trip here.

An experience, a successful concept, a culinary sharing with warm support from the entire team and a suspended, timeless atmosphere. It is strongly recommended to sleep in one place to enjoy the setting as much as possible and relax in the lounge or at the bar!!! 90% Eco-friendly, a few Americans and Europeans but it's worth the detour for a good epicurean! Well done !

On a tour of the country alongside other wonderful restaurants, the Killiecrankie House restaurant was by far the most memorable gastronomic experience in Scottland. Tom's cuisine is highly creative, refined, and unquestionably on an international top level. The establishment serves only the best local ingredients, which are typically prepared utilizing innovative techniques and complex preparations. However, the dishes were seamingly simple, powerful, and never overly complicated. This is a true gastronomic marvel, nestled in the Killiecrankie forests and surrounded by gardens where the staff raises their own veggies, herbs, and plants. An fantastic location. Go there before Michelin arrives and booking becomes tricky.

This restaurant delivered above our already high expectations going in. The tasting menu was fantastic, a Michelin-level blend of local cuisine and ingredients with a touch of Japanese elements, all with a flawless presentation. The paired wines were from atypical grape varieties such as manseng or merenzao, but they perfectly matched the dishes. Service was also excellent. Overall the best food experience we had during our one-week trip in Scotland.

Excellent Scottish tasting menu with Japanese influence. Great setting with beautiful open kitchen!

Had a fantastic stay and dinner here in June. Our hosts, who are the owners and chef, were warm and welcoming, creating an incredible 5-star experience out of a charming bed and breakfast property. The property and gardens are stunning, providing a picturesque backdrop for our stay. Our room was tastefully decorated with thoughtful details, such as the loose leaf tea. The dining experience was a truly unique blend of contemporary Scottish cuisine with Japanese flavors and techniques. Highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking a memorable getaway!

I returned in 2024. And stayed the night. Rooms and breakfast are magnificent. Food was better than ever. The langoustine with horseradish and beetroot made me cry. Top restaurant of 2024 so far. Myse is similar and not too far behind. I think the gap may be closing. This place is improving but places like Myse and Sola are upping their game. This restaurant is just "WOW". 2 star Michelin quality. One of the best tasting menus I've ever had. And lovely place. You can watch the kitchen. I shall be returning. [Note: I returned. It had got better. Best place I ate in 2022 and 2023.]

Just perfect! We ran out of superlatives. The tasting menu was unbelievably good, including fresh produce from the garden. Knowledgeable staff able to talk indepth about both the food and wines. Can't wait to go back. We didn't stay so cannot comment on the rooms. I can't believe they aren't perfect as well.

Sublime food which is not just a meal but an experience. I took my husband here to celebrate our anniversary and it was incredible. Down to the records played and the carefully decorated interior and exterior it was a culinary experience worth making a day out of.

Great lunch. Service, food, drinks, environment all of very highest standard. Staying soon.

The setting is sublime. The décor is so cool and relaxing. The staff are amazing and the food was second to none. I took my teenage niece and nephew…. So we completed the tasting with a non-alcoholic pairing which was so good. The food Scottish with Japanese influences was definitely a great pairing. Would absolutely recommend.

Exquisite dining experience. From the amazing service, to the fabulous homemade drinks, to the incredible food and beautiful decor, Killiecrankie House delivers on all fronts. I took my wife for the lunchtime tasting menu after a birthday bungee jump down the road and we were blown away. The lounge and bar are beautiful and the dining area is brilliant, watching the talented chefs prepare the food. The attention to detail with the different cutlery, crockery and pairing drinks is fabulous. The food, wow, superb! Incredible flavours, every part of the journey special and delicious. The old record player, with a selection of albums throughout the tasting is such a great idea, we loved it. (For our visit Hozier, The Killers, Paul Simon and Lou Reed). Thank you so much to everyone who made our experience so memorable. We will be back!

Visited for lunch. Superb lunch with friendly service. Beautifully decorated and the kitchen set up is perfect for those of us who like to watch. worth a visit.(get a move on Michelin!)

We had the taster menu at the Killicrankie House hotel which was absolutely fantastic. The whole experience was incredible and was an entertainment as well as a great dining experience. There is so much attention to detail and theatre with each of the many courses served and also the drinks, which were explained in detail. I loved the whole evening.

We visited Killiecrankie House Hotel on Valentine’s Day. As it was a special occasion we stayed overnight. The property is an easy 90 minute drive from Edinburgh in the heart of Perthshire close to Pitlochry. It has 5 bedrooms, a small art deco bar, lounge and dining room with an open view to the kitchen. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Matilda, who with her husband Tom (the head chef) own and run the property. Our room was well appointed and overall had the feel of a small boutique hotel. It is an excellent property for a romantic getaway amidst lovely countryside. Our dining experience was first class and the food was superb leaning heavily on home grown ingredients and locally sourced produce with Japanese influences. The meal comprised a 15 course tasting menu. Although this sounds a lot, the portion size and timings were just right with a number of these being finger foods served as canapés in the lounge/bar. We had upgraded to the Chef’s Counter and Tom presented each dish and explained the various processes that went into their preparation. We also interacted with the other chefs in the kitchen which added to the whole experience. During dinner various vinyl records were playing. Our playlist had been selected by Jake (the nightly choices rotate between the chefs) and was quite eclectic! A copy of our tasting menu and pictures of the various courses are attached. Breakfast the next day was expansive and very tasty. Highly recommend visiting this jewel of a property.

I can't recommend Killiekrankie House enough. Tom and Matilda were fantastic hosts, very friendly and engaging, and Niall in the bar and all the other staff were lovely to talk to. The meal was phenomenal - not only delicious, but quirky and fun as well, with a really interesting drinks pairing. All the ingredients were locally sourced, often grown in the house's garden, and clearly took a lot of imagination to create. I'd highly recommend sitting at the chef's counter, where Tom takes you through the menu and you can watch the chefs preparing your next dish. The master suite was also great, really spacious with a big bath and a comfortable bed. Will definitely be back!

Had a wonderful evening here at the end of September. Service, atmosphere food and drinks were all incredible. One of the best meals we have had. Love the fusion of local ingredients with Japanese flavours. Little touches, like staff choosing records to play during the evening, and them displaying the covers next to the record player, made it even more special. Very glad we booked a few months before it was awarded Scottish Restaurant of the year. It totally deserves it.

So good! Amazing food and a lovely crew!

Absolutely amazing. Great spirits, cocktails, and food. Bedroom and bathroom were extraordinary!

Amazing accommodations and wonderfully attentive service. It will be an experience hard to surpass- the dinner and drinks were probably the best we’ve had. Our hosts were knowledgeable and warm. Only wish we lived nearby to visit more frequently. Don’t skip the breakfast!

They deserve a Michelin star!! Our dinner experience at Killiecrankie House was hands down the best meal we had on our 2 week trip to Scotland. Actually, it was the best meal we have had in 10 years!! Matilda and our server, Lauren, welcomed us so warmly and were attentive and gracious without ever being intrusive. Tom, the chef, was also friendly and engaging. The house is gorgeous with an amazing garden of vegetables and herbs and the music, played on an old fashioned record player adds to the ambiance. But the real star of the show is the food! Every dish was spectacular but a few favorites were the Scotch egg, salmon cornetto, dripping fried porridge, Hokkaido bread and bitter chocolate, flowering currant & violet. The wine selection was also incredible including a Chinese red wine (The Prince from Treaty Port Vineyards) that bowled us over. The plating on everything made each dish a work of art. Just gorgeous china, wood and ceramic pieces to show off the food! One member of our group was a pescatarian and they created a special menu to accommodate those needs. If you want a Michelin star experience in a gorgeous, relaxed setting with amazing, creative, delicious food using local ingredients and produce right from their garden, go to the Killiecrankie House!! We will definitely be back!

My partner and I dined at Tom and Matilda's restaurant and we were warmly welcomed into a beautiful lounge with champagne. We had the tasting menu. The local ingredients were meticulously entwined to create delicate yet complex flavours, served with a Japanese influence in a beautiful kitchen-facing dining room with vinyl playing cosily. This restaurant truly deserves the best restaurant in Scotland award it recently received. I'm surprised Michelin hasn't awarded it with at least one star. We will definitely return.

One of the very best meals I've had! Came here after reading about it in the Guardian. Will probably try to stay over next time.

Faultless experience, highly recommended. Will definitely come back.

Fantastic experience - the rooms were beautifully appointed and both the dinner and breakfast were sensational and delivered in a relaxed atmosphere

All the other reviews at Killiecrankie cover the bases extremely well, so I won't repeat them. Just to add, at one point Tom asked me if I enjoyed a particular course and I replied "It was fantastic", his response was "That good ?". Truth be told, it was that good, the relaxed atmosphere, the food, the matching wines and the room were all fantastic. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

We had an excellent and memorable evening at the Killiecrankie House, trying the tasting menu and wine pairing. We arrived later than planned due to traffic but Matilda, Tom and the team were so accommodating and worked hard to ensure we had the full dining experience, even with limited time. The menu showcased Scottish ingredients (some sourced from the restaurant’s own garden), prepared creatively and often with a Japanese twist. Each course was full of interesting, well-considered flavours without trying to do too much at once. Music on the record player, the staff’s modern outfits and the lack of starched white tablecloths made us feel comfortable but the presentation and care that went into each dish and corresponding wine made the experience special. The Scottish-themed cocktails were a fun way to end the evening. In short, the Killiecrankie House is a breath of fresh air - fine dining without the pretence. Treat yourself and book a table, you will be thinking about the food for days!

This was our second stay. The dining experience was phenomenal again. The staff are amazing, so knowledgable, helpful and friendly. The bed is the best in the world. The garden looks glorious. Congratulations on winning Scottish restaurant of the year. Can’t wait to come back again. Xx

We had an extraordinary dining experience at a remarkable restaurant called Killiecrankie House in Pitlochry, Scotland. With a tasting menu that surpassed our experiences in both Paris and the US, it truly stood out as the best. We sincerely wish them great success. The chef's mastery of flavors was evident as he skillfully reinvented traditional Scottish cuisine, achieving perfection in every bite. Each dish was a work of art, beautiful to look at, and with hidden surprises. Often dishes are plated exposing every element: sauces drizzled over fish and garnish laying next to it. Not here. Multiple layers vailed delightful surprises such as fish hidden beneath the steamed Japanese custard cradling fish egg dish. The textures, layers, flavors, and contrasts exploded in our mouths, creating a truly fantastic culinary journey. In some tasting menus, the smaller starters are the highlight, while the larger dishes veer towards conventional flavors. However, this was not the case at Killiecrankie House. Each dish surpassed the previous one, keeping us captivated throughout. Did I mention that the restaurant's lounge offers a view of their vegetable garden, where the ingredients for their dishes are grown? It adds an extra layer of connection to the food we enjoyed. Thank you, Chef Tom and your team, for an unforgettable evening!

Absolutely incredible food and service. This restaurant would happily sit alongside those with a Michelin Star. Top top top quality food with influences from Scotland and Japan. All plates both highly innovative and delicious!

Went to the restaurant for the taster menu with wine paring and non-alcoholic paring. We arrived late due to traffic carnage on A9 but were greeted by staff as we arrived which was nice. We were shown directly to our table and made comfortable with some water before being served our first drinks. The marmalade syrup drink was fabulous and and the wine kept up a high standard. The food was fun, adventurous, local where possible and the drinks certainly did complement the food well. We were there for 2 hours, which wasn’t bad for 8 courses. It was interesting to see the chefs prepare the food but it wasn’t a public performance more a look at what was coming next. The scotch eggs were put in a steam oven and when they were brought out the steam flowed along the ceiling. Quite a nice effect . We certainly enjoyed it and staff were very friendly and explained every drink and dish as you would expect. Enjoyable day. Parking was easy and coming from Pitlochry the sign for the restaurant easy to spot as a big wooden board.

I did not stay overnight, but the rooms looked charming & inviting.

Tom & Matilda have done a fantastic job, albeit speaking with both of them, they are still on their journey. The rooms are fantastic with no requirement to improve. The food and service were both outstanding. The team are fantastic, displaying exceptionally high standards of customer service. We will definitely return on our annual trip to visit family next year, if not before. Thanks again to you both, fingers crossed Evelyn is as well behaved when she grows up😁 It was an absolute pleasure, see you again soon. Many Thanks, Ian & Amanda X

What Tom and his team have done here at Killiecrankie is truly beyond belief! It is well worth a stay to experience a Michelin star quality meal, with a friendly laid back environment, in absolutely the most stunning setting. Drawing upon their garden and local foods, the team take you on a culinary journey where Scotland meets Japan in a refined setting. If you cannot stay for the full experience, their Saturday lunch gives you a perfect break as you explore Cairngorms national park. With crafted cocktails, a fabulous wine pairing, and creative food that is beyond belief, get yourself here before it is impossible to get a reservation. Tom and his team feel like you are having dinner at a friend’s house as you explore a fine dining experience with a gorgeous house and rooms. They play their own vinyl albums to set the mood for an unforgettable experience. We will be going out of our way to return again as soon as possible and we cannot recommend an overnight experience highly enough. Finally, I will say that it is exceptionally rare to find a fine dining experience like this one in its early years, but it is a place we know we will return and will recommend to everyone we meet because it is so friendly, delicious, stylish, and fun! Book your experience before the word gets out!

Had dinner at the restaurant, which was incredible. Service and food both were exceptional. Loved the setting too.

Killiecrankie House is one of the best and most exciting restaurants in Scotland. Relax while enjoying the best food Scotland has to offer. Every dish is refined, inspired and cooked to a consistently high standard. Tom, Matilda and the team have created a truly memorable dining experience and we can’t wait to visit again.

Saturday at the Chef’s Table was one of the best experiences and meals my wife and I have ever had in any restaurant. From the moment of arriving to (reluctantly) leaving the following morning, was professional yet relaxed, in the company of two wonderful hosts in Tom and Matilda, not to mention their amazing staff! If you are even questioning whether to book or not, don’t, just book it, you will 100% not be disappointed with your decision. We booked again on the drive home! The standard of the cooking and quality of what is being produced far surpasses that of other ‘starred’ restaurants. Killiecrankie House really can’t be far away from one, if not two of those stars.I can’t go without mentioning the breakfast too, another triumph. Again, a huge thank you to all of those at Killiecrankie House, everything is just perfect.

We had a night here and dinner and breakfast. Such a welcoming and top-notch experience! Our room was gorgeous and our dinner was just truly amazing. Coupled with a really friendly staff and owners it made for a unique experience. Thank you so much.

We had the best meal of our lives at Killiecrankie House! The food, service and eating experience everything was perfect. Tom and his team are doing something special and amazing here. A real food adventure! Come with an open mind and enjoy the food journey they provide. A gem hidden in the Scottish Highlands!

Beautiful stay! Everything was just right. The accommodations were attractive and comfortable..great design!! The hospitality was warm, friendly and helpful. And the food and drink were unexpectedly delicious. We began with A+ cocktails in the very stylish bar (I wish this bartended lived in my city) which were accompanied by delicious small bites. Then we proceeded to the chef's table where we had an incredibly intimate and delicious tasting menu which included the best Daikon radish I've ever tasted, and a venison and sauce with home baked milk bread (to capture every drop) that was truly unforgettable. A Michelin Star is certainly on the horizon for this very talented husband and wife team. PS the vinyl play list was great! We'll be back :)

Ever since I saw Tom at the Foodies festival and had a chance to try his Dripping Fried Porridge I was dedicated to visit this place. This was the best idea for our anniversary which we had in September. The food was simply incredible, the best meal I've had in Scotland. You could feel the passion and care in every petal beautifully presented on all different gorgeous ceramics, a lot of hard work. Both my eyes and my taste buds were so exited with every dish, and I honestly wish I filmed more for the memories. As the menu is not very descriptive you gotta take notes if you want to remember the story and ingredients of every dish which I've told all my chef friends about. The room was also exquisite, and breakfast was great as well. The only thing, the atmosphere felt a bit cold and too classy-minimalistic, which I suppose is understandable for trying to attract a wealthier class and it's not an experience just anyone would have. Also for someone without a car location is a bit tricky, but you can get a taxi in Pitlochry. Definitely would come back for the food.

Simply incredible. From the setting to the service and of course the impeccable food and drink. We absolutely loved the experience from start to finish. It was exciting, authentic, innovative and just damn tasty. The storytelling of each dish and drink pairing and the warmth of which they were told, made them taste even better. A genuinely relaxing evening, which can’t always be said of tasting menus! Can’t wait to return.

This is the most delicious place with the most delicious food.

Most WONDERFUL PLACE!! Run by two of the nicest people you will ever meet. Food was absolutely delicious! The staff are all wonderful- we can’t wait to come back!!!

Quite stunning & original food. The wine list is extensive & contains some real gems. However, I found the hotel itself lacking in warmth - so much open wood/lack of carpets and old fashioned furniture. I would have liked an open log fire to improve the atmosphere. I do wish them well and recommend those who love really interesting food to visit. It's fine dinning with rooms - it is not a traditional hotel!

I cannot praise Killiecrankie House and staff enough. We have had the most wonderful and memorable weekend at our daughter's wedding. The house is so beautiful and Tom, Matilda and staff went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after. Attention to detail was impeccable and the food was incredible.

We stayed one night, loved it and wished we were staying longer. The house has been decorated with a fantastic style which is very welcoming with all the small things that makes your stay relaxing and enjoyable. The tasting menu is a must and such an amazing experience. We did it with friends and will be back for sure. The complexity of the dishes and presentation is 5 stars. The owners run a fantastic location and it shows in all the details and quality of service received.

Nice place with unbelievable scenery. Highly recommend.

wonderful experience. from start to finish everything was perfect the dishes are tasty, refined and delicate. the restaurant is cozy, the decoration is refined and the owners are welcoming and caring. we only have one desire: to go back!

Un des meilleurs diners depuis longtemps (toujours ?). D' abord l accueil qui est merveilleux par ce couple de trentenaires (l ensemble du personnel est parfait) qui semble n avoir qu une envie : vous faire passer le meilleur moment possible. Une mention particulière pour la décoration du lieu qui tranche par sa modernité et sa justesse avec ce qu on peut trouver la plupart du temps dans la région. Dans ce menu unique à l aveugle servi seulement pour le dîner, les plats s enchainent miraculeusement : tout est pensé, construit autour d' un produit, d une anecdote, de l' histoire de la région. Et le mieux de tout, on se sent tellement bien à la fin : rassasié mais pas lourd, en un mot heureux !

I'm not sure any review will do this place justice, these people care about 2 things, hospitality and food. They did not dissappint. The food was incredible, there was a ton of surprise tastes and presentations. I'm not going to spoil the surprises here but my wife and I may have been guilty at gushing a bit too much. We make a habit of treating ourselves to 1 luxury meal in any country we visit, and this one knocked it out of the park. The alcohol pairings were spot on, again I don't want to spoil their secrets, go and learn them for yourself. The hospitality was top notch, from the moment you walked to the desk and said your name, you were their guest. From personalized notes with wax seals, to a totally relaxed atmosphere, Matilda heads up an awesome experience. This couldn't have suited us any better. Bonus points : my wife would be mad if I didn't mention the bathroom in room 5. I do think once we go home we are going to remodel our own bathroom to match. The bathroom was seemingly ripped from my wife's personal pintrest for dream bathrooms. It was that perfect for her. Thanks Killiecrankie crew, for a really fun experience.

Truly an amazing experience, from the craft cocktails, to the expertly prepared dishes, to the engaging, knowledgeable, and personable staff. The food and drink creations are influenced by locally gardened, foraged or raised ingredients, and made with a discerning care and passion that comes through in the flavors and the stories. A must-do.

Hands down one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I hesitate to call it a meal, as it was more of an incredible gastronomic experience, as well as amazing conversation with our hosts. You can feel the passion and hard work in every bite. We felt incredibly privileged to be able to share in their journey.

Wonderful experience. Thank you Matilda and Tom.

Really serious cooking in this totally renovated hotel. Lovely room and smart bathroom and excellent staff. The food was delicious and well worth the expense - top class cooking in lovely surroundings

Incredible! The tasting menu was delicious and clever. The room was comfortable and luxurious. The hosts were extremely accomodating and welcoming. A perfect place to mark something special.

We'd heard so many good things about Killiecrankie House and the young team behind it. Our expectations were exceeded at every level: the food is impeccable (I've never eaten better), the bar and drinks are superb, everyone working there is charming and the setting is sublime. The quality of everything on offer is extremely high so it's incredible value for money; I can imagine being charged way more for this kind of experience somewhere else. Scotland is all the richer for it. We'll definitely be going back again soon.

Hands down the best place to eat in the Highlands, a fabulous tasting menu which would be very comfortable in the very best restaurants in London. A fantastic atmosphere with comfortable furnishings from a young couple who show great enthusiasm and are determined to make a name for themselves in an area devoid of any decent eateries. We will be back very soon!

The place is lovely. The staff are so awesome, focused, friendly, engaging and caring - loved Tom, Matilda and their people. So great. And the food - dinner & breakfast was to die for. Highly recommended. We’ve been to and eaten at lots of places around the world and this is in the top two or three. Thank you.

Absolutely recommend, one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Every dish of the tasting menu was delicious as well as interesting, we enjoyed it more than the ones at Fat Duck, Ledbury etc. On top of that it’s such a lovely place to stay, nicely styled yet very relaxed and welcoming. We will definitely go back.

This was one of the best meals in my life! Worth an entire trip to Scotland. Owners are wonderful hosts and awesome people. The drink pairing was exquisite- 10/10. The room was also so nice -such a lovely space. I feel lucky to have had this unforgettable experience.

Wonderful overnight stay at Killiecrankie House sitting in the wonderful scenery of Perthshire. The owners Matilda and Tom have restored the building fittingly. The interior decor is clean and consistent Scandi style which leads to a non fussy atmosphere accompanied with suitable indie soundtrack while drinking and eating. The tasting menu for our trip consisted of an Asian, Japanese fusion with Scottish nods to local favourites. Throughout the food was excellent. Great flavours coming from great ingredients handled with care to allow them to shine. Good mix from the land and sea to keep courses interesting with touches of humour in presentation. The matching drinks complemented well with the dishes and enhanced the flavour. All staff friendly and relaxed with smiles (behind the masks at the moment!) Thoroughly enjoyable and added to the list of places we hope to visit again.

We stayed at Killiecrankie House (KH) to celebrate a special occasion with a few friends and had a wonderful time! Owners Tom and Matilda have thought through all the details; their creativity is expressed throughout everything in the refurbished house, including its interiors, furniture, music and of course the menu. The view of the Highlands surrounding the house is breathtaking. The bedrooms are luxurious, simple and cosy. The cocktail bar area is stunning with tongue-in-cheek art around the room, reflecting Matilda’s playful side. The couple’s passion for food is evident in the living room where their personal collection of contemporary, classic cookbooks and other culinary-related hardbacks are available for the curious/food-loving guests to browse through. It’s a welcoming and intimate way of giving guests a glimpse into their food world and colourful personalities. The 13-course tasting menu was superb and, of course, the best part of our stay. Tom’s homage to Scottish ingredients, brilliant imagination and gastronomic curiosity is a delight. Matilda’s selection of the pairing drinks were equally delicious, including a dark, bold and sweet sake - a nod to her Japanese heritage. It’s simple - if you love to eat and drink and fancy a trip to the beautiful Cairngorms then I recommend you book soon. Keep an eye on KH, they’re just starting a very exciting journey in the culinary world! Good luck Matilda, Tom and team!

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel at home by Matilda and Tom. Killiecrankie House has been delightfully restored with 5 luxurious bedrooms, and has an invitingly chic bar and restaurant. The highlight though, is the food served byTom and his kitchen staff. The 13 course tasting menu is exceptional and almost entirely locally sourced. Would definitely return again.

Exceptional. The food is incredible and it’s only a matter of time before this ends up with a Michelin star which I’m sure will count for an awful lot more than my 5 google stars!

A place with heart and soul. Every aspect of the food, drink and accommodation at Killiecrankie comes from the deep passion that Tom and Matilda clearly have for what they do. Not only is it worth the trip alone for the meal, but the rooms themselves are top-notch and the surrounding Killiecrankie and Pitlochry areas offer breathtaking views. One of the best drinks pairings I’ve ever had with a tasting menu - don’t hesitate.

Such an incredible place - the tasting menu is amazing (get the pairing!), the rooms are beautiful, and so much attention has gone into every detail at the hotel. We can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely best taster menu we have ever had. Hotel and the hosts Matilda and Tom fantastic nothing was too much trouble and the breakdast this morning was sensational.

My partner and I had the pleasure of visiting Killiecrankie House the week before Christmas. Whilst the main attraction is the incredible dining experience (which I’ll mention later in this post), this visit had much more to offer too. The whisky tasting prior to dinner was unique, comprising a thoughtful mixture of classical and modern distilleries. Overall it was fun and informative and a great way to start the evening. Back to the main event. The tasting menu and drinks pairing were meticulously thought out. Bringing together the best of Scottish produce with creative and in some cases unexpected combinations. It can not be understated how enjoyable the meal was. Aside from this, the hosts were fantastic! Bringing a very relaxed and flexible approach to our experience. Finally, the rooms were in immaculate condition. Overall the best way to describe this experience was novel. Highly recommend!

My husband and I stayed here on Wednesday evening. What a treat!! The property has recently been fully renovated and it is easy glamour at it's best. Warm and welcoming from the decor to the staff. Everything couldn't have been done better. Great fun in the cocktail bar with some outstanding original concoctions followed by a most excellent tasting menu. The food was exceptional and innovative and although some courses sounded a little dubious, we thoroughly enjoyed everything that was put in front of us. The amazing meal was followed by a peaceful night's sleep in our beautifully appointed bedroom. Wonderful Scottish cosmetics supplied in the bathroom. Breakfast was the final delight with yet more delicious taste sensations. We could not recommend Killiecrankie House more highly and will definitely be returning soon. Well done to Matilda, Tom and their team. Hope it is an outstanding success!

I had a wonderful stay at Killiecrankie House during half term. The decor is fabulous, the rooms luxurious and comfortable and the food fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the cured mackerel and the “porridge”. I won’t give any more away! Tom, Matilda and the rest of the team have started something really special here, and I can’t wait to return in the new year.

We had an amazing evening at Killicrankie House. Tom, Matilda and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The food is incredible and the menu really cleverly put together. Matilda has put a huge amount of effort into the non-alcoholic drinks pairing which really helps the driver to feel part of the evening too. They have done a great job renovating as it is completely different to the old Killiecrankie. We will definitely come back next time we are in the area.

A fantastic fine dining experience surrounded by beautiful Scottish countryside. Killiekrankie House itself has been renovated to 5* standards and offers spacious luxury bedrooms for those that want to spend the night here after dinner. We particularly enjoyed the intimate bar with their large selection of whiskies and extensive cocktail menu - although they will pretty much make you anything you ask for if you have specific requests. All the staff were very friendly and it was a very relaxed and enjoyable way to spend a Saturday evening. Will definitely be returning.

A must visit if you’re in the area, or passing through! I ate here last weekend and stayed overnight. The tasting menu was exquisite and adventurous, and the team are warm and attentive. The property itself has been restored beautifully by the new owners, and the bedrooms are gorgeous and super comfortable. It has a great little cocktail bar too with loads of whisky for a post (or pre!) dinner dram. A real fine dining experience without any stuffiness, I can’t wait to return

Had dinner here last night and it was unlike any meal I’ve had in a long time. The food felt so much of the place and the time. The whole menu had a narrative (like the mouldy food inspired by penicillin invented in Scotland) and the team were so friendly and welcoming you barely want to leave.
