Anbôise's overhaul has brought ochre and dusky rose walls, four-poster beds, antique mahogany, copper cast-iron baths by glen-facing sash windows.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The ancient Fortingall Yew stands in the churchyard next door, and Glen Lyon begins right at the doorstep.
The rooms
Bedrooms have dusky rose walls and antique timber. Selected rooms add freestanding copper tubs by the sash windows.
The Restaurant at The Fortingall
White tablecloths and ladderback chairs sit around the open hearth, where dinners draw on seasonal Scottish produce.
At the table
The Ewe serves pints by an arched stone fireplace, and Charlie's Bar pours single malts beneath Bonnie Prince Charlie's portrait.
How it began
Facing conversion into private flats, the property was bought in 2022 by local landowners to keep the inn open.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
