The Grandtully

Welcome

Grandtully is pronounced "Grantly", which is worth knowing before you ring to book a table.

And you should book a table. The Grandtully opened in September 2018 in a restored Victorian railway hotel on the A827, the second venture from Chris and Rachel Rowley, who run Ballintaggart Farm and its cook school a few minutes up the road with Chris's brother Andrew. The restaurant holds two AA rosettes and seats around 30, with menus built on seasonal Scottish produce, some of it from the farm itself. There's an à la carte, a tasting menu and a slower Sunday lunch, plus the Tully Bar for cocktails, local gins and eating without the linen. A whisky lounge handles the drams. Upstairs, eight individually designed rooms have earned the hotel a Michelin Key two years running. Dogs are welcome in the bar but not the bedrooms.
