This was a visit to a very friendly old style bar. ( The decor might not be to some people's taste but we loved the old charm & open fire.)We had only stopped in for a drink. ( Pint of local & a wine) However, we decided to share a sandwich, chips & salad. Very tasty indeed!! The staff were friendly, helpful & efficient. The toilet facilities could perhaps be updated but we're clean.All in all, a very enjoyable experience but a footnote to the proprietors."The price for a glass of wine should never be more than double the price of a pint!!"Still enjoyed our visit!
Love this pub and restaurant. The choices of food for meat eaters and veggie folk is great. The whisky's on offer are awesome. The staff were brilliant too. I wanted to try the haggis and they brought out a small portion for me to try. It was lovely too. If your passing and looking for great food and atmosphere please call and supper them.
We’d had a bit of a difficult time finding a pub for a quick pint…weirdly! Although this place wasn’t able to accommodate our dog the lady who welcomed us lifted our rather frazzled mood. Ok we didn’t have the best seat as the cosy room with the fires was full, but customer service counts for so much and we were really welcomed, and allowed to put our drenched walking boots next to the fire - thank you! Great local beer selection, and the cosy room with fires looks really good.

Fantastic place. Food was lovely, service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxing. The interior was really nice and homely, with an open fire. A good selection on the menu with some great classic pub dishes. We had the fish and chips, gourmet steak burger, and the homemade macaroni and cheese. They were all really nice and would recommend any of them. Proper old style pub chips as well! For dessert we had a cinnamon and apple crumble, and a chocolate fudge cake, which again were both very nice. We would definitely come back again if we're in the area and would recommend a visit!
Four of us went for food whilst we were in Blair Atholl for a short break. The waitress Lea who served us was superb nothing was to much trouble. So the following day we returned for coffee, again Lea served us, it is very rare these days to get such good service with a lovely smile.
