What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Hidden in the Fife countryside, The Peat Inn is part restaurant, part all-suite retreat, and entirely worth seeking out.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Open farmland surrounds the property, and the historic streets of St Andrews are a fifteen-minute drive away.
The rooms
Suites sit behind the inn as split-level duplexes, with mezzanine living areas, tweed sofas, and views over open farmland.
The Peat Inn Restaurant
Three intimate dining rooms serve Michelin-starred Scottish menus, focused on regional ingredients like East Neuk crab.
How it began
David Wilson turned the inn into a fine-dining pioneer in the 1970s, later passing the kitchen to chef Geoffrey Smeddle.
