For those looking for a New Year escape away from the buzz and white noise of daily life, few places offer the tranquillity of Murrayshall Country Estate & Golf Club. The Perthshire retreat is a haven of glorious views and relaxing experiences - here's what you need to know.
A four-star hotel, Murrayshall Country Estate has a history dating back over 400 years as the former home of Lord Lynedoch. Today, the sophisticated retreat retains its heritage charm, across 40 rooms ranging from 'Snugs' to suites. Settle into a world of four-poster beds, tartan carpets and rich colours, all underpinned by contemporary amenities and hospitality.
Scottish fare is something to take pride in, and the award-winning culinary experiences are a central feature of your stay. The main restaurant, Eòlas (pronounced Olass - Gaelic for ‘experience’), showcases the very best of the Scottish Highlands in regal surroundings complete with their own bespoke thistle wallpaper. For more relaxed meals, there's also the cosy gastro food of Cairns, while drinks (including an array of Scottish whiskies) are served in the Barossa bar.
The hotel's vast grounds and gardens lend themselves perfectly to country pursuits, and the hotel happily obliges with some more traditional than others. Hike in the surrounding countryside, fish on the River Tay or enjoy paddle boarding, cycling, or laser clay shooting in the grounds.
The hotel is set in 365 acres of Perthshire countryside, including 27-holes of parkland golf. The landscape sets the scene for a relaxing getaway and beautiful walks. Wake to views of towering trees and enjoy total tranquillity.
There is no gym, pool or wet facilities at Murrayshall Country Estate - instead you're encouraged to enjoy your leisure in the mesmerising landscape. Then, however, it's time to unwind with luxury spa treatments using Scottish organic seaweed products from Ishga. The treatment rooms are located in the refurbished gate house, located at the beginning of the entrance to the estate. It's a world of its own where you can have a drink and take time to enjoy yourself.
