Four-pearl inn housed in a converted 18th-century corn mill with attractive, contemporary interiors
True to its name, the Old Mill Inn is housed in a former corn mill that dates to the 18th century, and still retains a fully functioning water wheel and stream running alongside the property. The charming stone building is conveniently located off Pitlochry’s main street, and plenty of locals, along with guests, frequent its lively bar and restaurant, which makes for a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Interiors are contemporary and elegant, with a mostly neutral color palette paired with crimson hues. The restaurant features wood furnishings paired with wood floors and stone accent walls illuminated by large windows. Tartan-patterned rugs and chairs are a nice little nod to its Scottish heritage. There is plenty of seating about the property, including cozy booths, individual tables, and comfortable armchairs in the bar, as well as a lovely outdoor area full of picnic tables and wicker furniture.
