Ballintaggart

A farm above Grandtully in Strathtay with rooms to stay, a cook school, and long-table Feast Nights and Slow Sundays of seasonal Scottish food.

Welcome

On the hillside above Grandtully, where Strathtay opens out between Aberfeldy and Pitlochry, a stone farmhouse and its steadings look out over fields and woods to the hills.

Ballintaggart is a farm that has made food its purpose, the country home of the family who also run the Grandtully Hotel in the village below.

Its best known evenings are the Feast Nights: five courses of modern Scottish cooking, served to everyone together at one long table, with menus that change with the seasons. On Slow Sundays there is a long three-course lunch. The cook school runs masterclasses for a day or for a stay, and there are yoga weekends, weddings and gatherings.

The bedrooms in the farmhouse and steadings are each designed differently, and everything, from a feast to a class to a night, is booked ahead.
