See for yourself why there’s such a buzz about The Old Mill Inn with today’s Big Deal for a one or two night stay including breakfast.

A family-run business, the Old Mill Inn is a popular place to stay with a modern bar and bistro and delightful en-suite accommodation.

Converted from an 18th century corn mill, the water wheel is still in situ and makes an interesting backdrop to the Inn’s outdoor courtyard area.

Atmospheric Inn

While the Old Mill Inn has retained its historic charm, it has all the modern conveniences that you would expect of four star accommodation.

Designed with comfort, space and style in mind, all of the ensuite bedrooms feature flat screen televisions, tea and coffee making facilities and free WiFi.

Although located in the centre of town, the Old Mill Inn is relatively secluded and offers private parking.

Option one of today’s Big Deal, is for two people to enjoy an overnight stay in a standard double or twin room with a full Scottish breakfast in the morning.

Option two is for a two consecutive night stay with a full Scottish breakfast in the morning.

Both options are valid seven days per week with a supplement of £15 per person per night for Fri/Sat night stays (weekend minimum 2 night stay). Upgrades to Deluxe rooms may be available for £20 per person.

Scottish produce

A full Scottish breakfast for both guests is included in this offer but the Old Mill Inn is also a popular spot for lunch and dinner with locals and non-residents.

Fresh, local produce is at the heart of the menu; particularly in dishes such as the wild mushroom risotto with truffle oil; the roasted fillet of Scottish salmon on creamy mash with greens and a tomato broth; the Highland beef burger or the char-grilled steaks.

The CAMRA accredited bar at The Old Mill Inn is one of Pitlochry’s favourites and offers a wide selection of whiskies and real ales, or why not try one of their delicious cocktails with a nibble or two from their bar bites menu.

See and do

The Old Mill Inn gets buzzy with live music every weekend from some of Scotland’s finest talent.

The surrounding Perthshire and Highlands countryside has plenty to offer as well. From castles and distillery visits to golf, fishing, white water rafting and, for the bravehearts, bungee jumping at Killiecrankie, you won’t be bored.

For those who prefer a gentler pace, Pitlochry’s Festival Theatre is a short walk away. The Ladykillers and The Miracle on 34th Street are both running over the next few months.

Pitlochry also offers varied and interesting shopping or you could head for the ‘Harrods of the north’, the House of Bruar.

Happy guests

‘Excellent. Stayed here for one night only but we will be returning. A very warm welcome and efficient check-in followed by a very informative and thorough introduction to the hotel and our room. The room itself was very impressive (superior room) and spotlessly clean. We ate in the hotel restaurant and the food was delicious with lots of choice. The staff are friendly and provide a very high quality of service. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this hotel.’

Only one venue won the Inn of the Year prize at this year’s Scottish Hotel Awards.
