Stunning venue and setting
The venue and the setting are stunning and we picked the option of whole place to ourselves with no support from the onsite team - we did buy a keg of beer and the no washing up service- can’t fault a single thing.
We had full use of the kitchen - all the rooms were spotless and communication before/during and after were excellent.
Great spaces to mix and chat and also breakaway and do your own thing when you want.
Turned a family gathering into a truly memorable weekend

I recommend this Manor with all my heart and soul.
The Blairgowrie Manor is absolutely beautiful. The facilities, the grounds, the food - all top shelf!! But the gold of the Manor is the staff— they are absolutely lovely and made the experience 100x above my expectations. I recommend this Manor with all my heart and soul.

Perfect place
Blairgowrie Manor was the perfect place for a recent family trip to Scotland. 8 adults and 10 children were easily accommodated with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The real joy, however, was everything that Blairgowrie Manor had to offer. Between authentic Scottish breakfasts, a true Scottish pub (in-house), and plenty of entertainment, there was never a dull moment. The location of Blairgowrie Manor also made it the right choice for our family. You're less than 1 hour from any number of sites and activities. Personally, we ventured out to St. Andrews, Perth, Edinburgh, Balmoral Castle, as well as many of the quaint small towns that make Scotland the country that it is. One of my personal favourites was Dunkeld (which is also where we did some fly fishing--great experience!). At the end of the day, the staff were second to none and accommodated all of our needs. I look forward to the day we can make a return trip!

A bit of drizzling heaven
Blairgowrie Manor was a bit of DOWNTON ABBEY circa 2023. I recently spent a magical week there as a mentor for Roadmap Writers with a fellow Nicholas as our very lovely and kind host. I managed to secure the working room with the roaring fire as my go to place, but the many rooms were equally delightful. We had all of our meals (with our dietary complications) cooked by a very caring chef and got to enjoy Scottish dancing (too hard for me), haggis (with the poetic blessing) and, of course, some bag piping. Close to Perth, Glasgow, Edinburgh and St. Andrews. A bit of drizzling heaven.

It felt like visiting Scottish family in Blairgowrie
I recently attended an exclusive-use company retreat at Blairgowrie Manor. With the luxury estate all to ourselves, it felt like visiting Scottish family in Blairgowrie. Nick and the Manor staff were outstanding-- kind, gracious and fun-- and did everything from addressing individual dietary concerns to arranging transportation for our departure. Our last evening, the Manor gave us a truly memorable authentic Scottish experience which included traditional Scottish food and drink, a bagpipe performance, a visit from a local dignitary and ceilidh dancing. Thank you for such a special stay!

This was the perfect location for our wedding and reception
I got married here! We stayed for 4 days with many friends and family members and the staff was so amazing and creative and flexible the whole time. Nicholas went above and beyond at every step of the way. We had a golf outing, distillery tour, highland games and much more. This was the perfect location for our wedding and reception. Pictures can’t capture how beautiful this location is.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
