Overview
Enveloped by 365 acres of rolling Perthshire countryside, Murrayshall Country Estate sits on the outskirts of Scone, just a 10-minute drive from Perth. This country house hotel and golf estate offers a refined yet welcoming base for food-focused weekend breaks, combining the tranquillity of Scottish parkland with easy access to castles, riverside walks, and the region's market towns.

Eat
Dining at Murrayshall Country Estate is defined by a focus on Scottish produce and contemporary flair. At the heart of the offering is Eòrla, the fine dining flagship, where menus rotate with the seasons, making the most of Perthshire's bounty. Think delicate local meats and day-boat seafood, wild herbs, and estate-grown ingredients, presented with elegance but never pretension. An à la carte format and curated tasting experiences are designed to surprise returning diners as much as first-time guests. Service maintains a relaxed, personable style, and the wine list is thoughtfully curated to suit both classic and modern palates. Awarded 2 AA Rosettes, the estate’s dining rooms balance the grandeur of their setting with a relaxed Scottish warmth—a winning combination for long, convivial evenings.
Sleep
Murrayshall Country Estate provides stylish bedrooms and suites in both the historic main house and newer estate lodges. Interiors marry classic Scottish cues—tartan fabrics, soft wool throws, and crafted woods—with modern comforts including plush beds, rainfall showers, and in-room Scottish shortbread. Many rooms offer bucolic views across golf fairways or woodland. The hotel is popular for couples' retreats and short group escapes, and families are also well accommodated thanks to a variety of room sizes and connecting options. Dogs are welcomed, and thoughtful touches like fresh mineral water and decent tea- and coffee-making kits add to the sense of a cared-for stay.
Retreat
Guests at Murrayshall can fill their days with walks across the estate, rounds on two 18-hole golf courses, or laid-back afternoons over Scottish tea by open fires. For something more active, there are fishing, cycling, and guided estate experiences available. Nearby, Scone Palace and the River Tay offer further opportunities for exploring and sampling Perthshire’s landscapes. Perth station is just over 4 miles away, with direct trains from Edinburgh in about an hour and Glasgow a little more. By car, Murrayshall is under 10 minutes to central Perth and just over an hour from both cities. However you spend your time, the everyday world feels a little further away from the moment you turn off the drive.
