“The Fortingall, recently revitalised, presents a genuinely charming country house experience. Its rooms are well-appointed, offering a stylish Scottish aesthetic, and the dining, from breakfast to evolving dinner menus, is notably good. The hotel's connection to its locality, particularly the lively traditional music in The Ewe pub, adds a distinct character that makes for a grounded yet refined stay.”
