BREAKFAST OF THE YEAR
SCOTLAND
Craigmhor Lodge & Courtyard
Pitlochry, Perth & Kinross
Some say breakfast is the most
important meal of the day and there’s
certainly a fantastic selection here with a
wide and varied offering from the fresh
baked breads to the local cured, cooked
meats, and also a fine Scottish cheeses
selection. Refreshing smoothies and
creamy and tantalising yoghurt pots,
with local soft berries, are a delight.
Notable is the quality smoked fish from
distinguished smoke houses around
Scotland. The layout of the buffet would
put some five star hotels to shame – it is
presented to highlight local Perthshire
products and to do them great justice.
Owners Calum and Jane MacLellan
commented: “We are thrilled to win. It’s
our first time attending the AA B&B Awards
and we are delighted to win Breakfast
of the Year Scotland. It’s in no small part
thanks to the whole team and the support
from our seven members of staff.”
