What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
On the edge of Cairngorms National Park, Killiecrankie House is a five-room restaurant-with-rooms where the focus is firmly on food.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Cairngorms National Park woodland surrounds the house, and the town of Pitlochry is a ten-minute drive south.
The rooms
The five bedrooms keep a quiet, moody palette, each with a four-poster bed and a freestanding soaking tub.
Cocktail & Whisky Bar
Teal velvet stools sit before an Art Deco stepped mirror, and the bar pours Scottish and Japanese whiskies.
Restaurant
Killiecrankie House Dining Room
The Michelin-starred dining room seats twenty at dark wooden tables, using Japanese kaiseki techniques on Scottish ingredients.
At the table
Chefs plate dishes under heat lamps at the open kitchen pass, serving courses directly across the counter.
How it began
The house began life in 1840 as a private manse for a local church minister, decades before it welcomed guests.
