“First class dining experience.”

Peat Inn was as genuine a 5* place as you could ever find. We initially thought about staying in a B&B locally and going to and from the Peat Inn by taxi but decided instead to push the boat out and stay in the accommodation at the Peat Inn....well - what a good decision !!

Welcoming decanter of sherry (no we didn't drink it all !!), as many fluffy towels as you could wish for..and a mezzanine floor with settees, TV, hifi system, tea, coffee and chocolate brownies (which were yummy). We went for the 7 course "taster" menu and just worked our way from amuse-bouche through crab, langoustine, pig cheek, beef tournedos to chocolate and sorbet. Meal was superb, restaurant was intimate and friendly and service was impeccable.

The delightful breakfast was served in our room by friendly staff and rounded off our short stay perfectly.

A fantastic place to go to for a special occasion but at the prices not somewhere for a regular visit !!

“Overpriced but an enjoyable enough night”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

Rather than get a taxi back to Dundee we decided we'd stay the night when dining here. I've reviewed the restaurant separately as my opinion is that the restaurant is of a much higher quality and better value for money than the add on B&B option.

We were given a very warm welcome, promptly shown to our suite and inducted into the breakfast ordering procedure. As far as I can gather all 8 have the same basic layout - a small landing at the door and 6/7 stairs down to the spacious bedroom and bathroom and 6/7 steps up to the lounge area. The console table at the door had a decanter of sherry. A bottle of wine would have been a better offering or even better still a mini bar. That said we were told if we wanted a glass of wine to let them know.

The suite was spotless although the decor was getting a bit dated. A lot of money seems to have been spent on the bathroom albeit possibly some time ago and its decor also gave the appearance of getting a bit dated - the bathroom fittings were showing signs of age.

Apart from the room there weren’t really any facilities to speak of, there is some seating at reception but my impression was that this felt more like a waiting area than a residents lounge.

A buffet breakfast is served in your room at the time of your choice. Initially I thought I'd be a bit underwhelmed, always being one to favour a full cooked when away but the variety of breads, ham cheese and fruits made for a five star experience in what was a three star room experience.

Overall I think we were happy enough. At £200 a night B&B I would have liked to have left with the impression that I had just stayed the night in a very special boutique type room but was left with the feeling that we’d stayed in a rather ordinary (but spacious) room in someone's house.

I'll definately go back to the Peat Inn to eat but I'll not be staying next time. If you're thinking of staying I would recommend it, I just didn't think that at the price the experience was good enough to repeat.

People understandably travel from far and wide to eat in the restaurant so I suspect that the rooms will always be popular especially at the weekend. A better option if you coming from a distance might be to stay in the nearby St Andrews and get a taxi back and fore to the restaurant

“Superb - what a find!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

My wife and I spent a night at The Peat Inn for our anniversary. Wonderful food, exquisitely presented, was matched by first class service in the restaurant. Our room, or to be more accurate our mini suite, was both comfortable and spacious. An excellent breakfast was served in our room. Can't recommend this venue highly enough - first rate - now saving up to go again!

Room Tip: All the rooms seem very similar and as there are only eight there should be no problems!

“Best meal I've ever had!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011

My husband and I were bought a voucher as a wedding present, which we used in July 2011. The rooms are lovely- mezzanine with a living room and TV on the top floor, and the grounds were really pretty. We had a three month old baby that we were reluctant to leave and they were fine about us taking him and helped to organize a babysitter. We had the tasting menu and it was the best meal I've ever had, the service was superb and we had the wines to go with the food and they were exceptional. I would love to go back there one day and do it all over again. It's a perfect romantic retreat.

“Recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

We stayed at Peat Inn for two nights - their Perfect Weekend package - eating from the A la Carte Menu on Friday evening and experiencing their Tasting Menu on the Saturday. We were impressed with the standard and quality of the food, which was refreshingly different, well executed and well presented. The experience was very good indeed and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend with the experience of a Michelin-starred restaurant.
