The best restaurants serving British food in Strathallan Perth & Kinross Central Scotland

Just everything is 5, very good experience. A Place with a soul

This place is clean, tidy and a pleasant to be in I would recommend it highly. We only went for a coffee but the food being served looked delicious

Nice place to be sweet home away from home

12th January was my wife's birthday, so I searched out somewhere I thought might be "special", using Tripadvisor reviews. Cairn Lodge seemed the place, but turned out to be something different from all the glowing reviews. But let me be fair. There were some good points. The ambience of the Garden Restaurant was very pleasant, and the staff were very attentive. But the food has a serious problem. We decided on 2 courses and 3 of us chose the belly pork. We all knew that belly potk is usually slow roasted and comes with crisp crackling and soft, tender, melt in your mouth meat. We were sadly disappointed. My wife had one mouthful and left the rest of the pork. Instead of meeting our expectations, the belly pork servings more closely answered the descriptions of Scotland's number 1 catering wholesaler, Brakes, who in their online belly pork advert to the trade, say, "Once reheated by either boiling or microwaving in the bag from frozen, remove and finish under the grill to brown the top as desired and serve..." The pork showed no sign of being roasted and then sliced on site. All the pieces were identical, suggesting factory production. All were equally tough. The pieces of carrot and parsnip , and the roast potatoes, were tasty enough, but the near incinerated Yorkshire puddings needed to have been "reheated" for several minutes less. Presumably they came from the same stable as the pork. Around the dining room, everyone seemed to have the same bought-in offerings, all treated in the same way. I have several observations. We are all used to this sort of food in the cheap fast-food places attached to Travelodges and the like, but Cairn Lodge presents itself as some special. Instead, you offer second-rate food at inflated prices. The meal for 4, with no wine, cost just under £160. I feel there is a certain dishonesty in what you are offering. Over-priced and second rate. Secondly, I am very disappointed that you have apparently weaned your clientele on to this standard of food, and they actually believe it is a good standard.. I come from a background as a writer for one of the major travel companies, and I can tell you that your food is not of the quality customers are led to believe. It is second-rate, and does not belong to an hotel which promotes itself as giving quality. Clearly we will not be back.

After booking a table and arriving early. I had a missed call enquiring where we were and an email cancelling the reservation. The food and service were excellent. The only down side is how dark the stairs and passage way are to the toilets. This is quite disorienting when coming out of the toilets.

We’ve long considered this restaurant a benchmark for quality, and on this visit, the food and service did not disappoint. The kitchen continues to execute dishes with finesse, each plate showcasing good technique and well-balanced flavours. Service was polished, attentive, and welcoming — hallmarks of a well-run establishment. However, we left feeling deeply disappointed, not because of what was on the plate, but because of what we paid for it. Prices have escalated dramatically since over the 20 years we have visited, to a point we now feel it is unreasonable. A £3 course £120 dinner menu is accompanied by various supplements, not least £8 for each small vegetable accompaniment and service of 12.5%. A particular sticking point was the £55 supplement for Dover sole and £40 for Beef Wellington — a charge that feels excessive, even when factoring in quality and sourcing. These were well-cooked pieces of fish and meat, but priced at a level that borders on absurd, as a supplement to a 3 course £120 menu (note not an extra course, but an extra cost to the main course in the 3 course menu). Fine dining will always command a premium, and we’ve never hesitated to pay for excellence. But there’s a difference between a splurge and a squeeze. Sadly, despite the kitchen’s continued high standards, the experience was overshadowed by a creeping sense of being taken advantage of. We’re not sure we’ll return — not because it isn’t good, but because it no longer feels worth it.

Went in today as passing through staff were lovely ordered a turkey salad roll costing £4.45 got back to the car and it was shocking one thin slice of turkey loads of lettuce and onion. I know people have overheads but that’s just robbing people I was absolutely disgusted. Won’t be back!

The Coorie Inn is a real gem, the atmosphere is cosy and comfortable, the service is impeccable and the food is out of this world!!

Fantastic stay in a lovely village inn. Food was excellent, room and bed very comfortable and our dog was made very welcome. We would return in the future.

We're do i start service 10 out of 10. Starter 10 out of 10. Main 20 out of 10. Pudding 10 out of 10. All I can say is that the place gets 100 out out of 10. All I can say is the best restaurant in Scotland.

We were staying at Gleneagles and made the mistake of not booking into a restaurant on our first night so found this place to eat. The food was beautiful I had beetroot and goats cheese starter and was very impressed all delicious… My only niggle was the drinks were quite slow in arriving but don’t let that put you off..

So disappointing! Went for a birthday meal with my wife two sons and daughter. Ordered ribeye steak medium done. It arrived overcooked, dry and tasteless. First time I have ever sent a meal back. They were very good and without hesitation took it away and got a fresh. I kid you not it was no better, so much so that I couldn’t eat it. Never again will I go to the dormay what a disappoint!

Service was very bad and very slow.

Cracking little hotel to stay in for a golf break to gleneagles. Location brilliant. Food is also a major plus with a terrific ‘Bombay’ menu alongside the usual gastro pub type options. Have haggis for starter! Good selection of red and white wine, and the Guinness was excellent. Lovely staff 🙂
