Saorsa 1875

Saorsa 1875 is a gorgeous vegan haven in a brilliant little town. The grounds are beautiful and inviting, and the rooms are stylish, clean and comfortable. Sandra is a wonderful host and such a lovely person. I can’t say enough good things about my stay, highly recommended!

The atmosphere at Saorsa 1875 was warm and easy to relax in, and the rooms felt comfortable and carefully designed. I was especially impressed by the food, which was inventive, beautifully presented and packed with flavour. The team looked after me throughout and made me feel welcome. A really special stay, and I’d happily come back.

We spent five nights at Saorsa 1875 and came away feeling completely relaxed. The Lynx room was spacious, well equipped and modern while still suiting the building, and the bed was very comfortable. There’s a pleasant woodland path and outdoor seating at the hotel, though the latter was less appealing in the rain. Pitlochry is only a short walk away, with shops, places to eat and plenty of lovely walks and views nearby. We tried a few pubs and restaurants and enjoyed the food there too. The breakfasts were generous, and the inventive five-course dinner was full of flavour. My partner eats meat, but was so impressed by the flavours and textures that they’ve since thought about going vegan. The lounge and bar are relaxing, with some lovely cocktails. Staff were friendly, welcoming and full of good local suggestions. Their enthusiasm for the hotel and its food came through, and by the end we felt part of the Saorsa family. We’d love to return whenever we can, and would recommend it whether you’re vegan or not.

The food was the highlight for me: every meal, from breakfast to the five-course dinners, was delicious. The menu changed each day and always worked, and I’m fussy about wine but really liked their selection. Staff were helpful, attentive and lovely throughout. We stayed three nights in the red deer room. It was cosy, with a roomy shower and beautiful bathroom tiles. The only thing I’d change is the use of space, as it felt a bit cluttered and smaller than it needed to. I’d definitely come back.
