Saorsa 1875 - Plant-Based Hotel

We were initially excited to arrive at the hotel, but our enthusiasm quickly faded when the owner responded abruptly upon hearing about our dinner cancellation at Saorsa. She then informed us that “we wouldn’t find anything worthwhile in town”. Unfortunately, her attitude persisted throughout our two nights. Regrettably our overall experience was disappointing as she didn’t even offer a simple good morning or farewell.

Didn’t seem overly friendly! Nice, but small rooms and could hear everything in the next rooms.

Our second trip to this amazing hotel. Which was just as good, if not better than our first trip. We opted to arrive early so we could have lunch, as we were not going to be able to have diner that night due to visiting the Pitlochry Enchanted Forest later that evening. We were totally spoiled for choice with the lunch menu, everything we tried from the menu was delicious. My partner's highlight was the carrot rolls and for me it was the king oyster mushrooms. We were honoured and delighted to be able to meet the chef who had produced such wonderful creations and pass on our compliments. We were so glad of the lovely bar and it's wood burner when we returned from the Enchanted Forest. Our stay of 2 nights was incredibly relaxing and just the thing after a busy time at work. We had diner on the second night and the food was just as good as lunch and this time due to it being bonfire night we got to watch the fireworks while having diner. There was so much sightseeing in the area that we could have done but the hotel is so relaxing that we just ended up staying in and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the hotel. Breakfast was utterly tasty, they make without doubt the best tofu scramble we have ever tasted. The staff are all attentive and professional. Can't wait to return to this gem of a hotel.

A wonderful hotel experience We had a wondeful overnight stay at Saorsa in the Pine Marten room. The room was a good size, well presented and very clean. The beds were really comfy and the duvets were cosy. The hotel decor is fun and colourful and the weather was good so we were able to make use of the firepit area, woodland trail and hanging chairs to relax in and read. The breakfast was incredible and had lots of options including granolas with berries and seeds etc, yoghurt, baked biscuits, croissants (amazing), fresh fruit, toast with jam, peanut butter and chocolate spread, fresh juice plus home made ginger shots. The staff were all so friendly and attentive and brought over hot drinks quickly plus offered the choice of porridge, tofu scramble or baked beans. It was my first time staying at a fully vegan hotel so it was lovely to not have to worry about what food would be suitable. My travel companion is not vegan but really enjoyed the breakfast too. It was lovely having access to the lounge/bar area as a comfy area to sit, relax and read some quirkly books. The location is ideal as it is easy enough to walk into Pitlochry plus you can walk to the riverside and some other local trails too. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to come back.

Wonderful night celebrating our anniversary. The hotel had an elegant and relaxing vibe, tastefully decorated with a touch of humour. We booked the 5 course vegan dinner which was delicious- the service was friendly too. The bar, room and building were gorgeous, as was the surrounding area. Highly recommend this place, we will be returning.
