Fabulous! - Edit
If you want to treat yourself to some ethical vegan luxury in Scotland you won't go far wrong at Saorse 1875. Beautiful Victorian house on the edge of Pitlochry and with country walks on the doorstep. Use the train or bus to travel further afield. John, Sandra and Jack are really welcoming hosts, Roxy and Lissie - the resident vegan dogs - have great characters, the bedrooms are lovely, the bar is well stocked and the food is amazing, chef Luca Sordi has really pulled out the stops to create his menu, which changes every day and is based on whatever is seasonal with as much as possible sourced locally. Dining is around a large table so you really get to chat with other guests. Can't wait to come back.

Vegan luxury! - Edit
This hotel is clearly a labour of love! The detail and decor is absolutely beautiful. The bar area is my favourite, all of the furniture, art work and even the drinks behind the bar all make for a beautiful place to sit and enjoy a few drinks before and after dinner.
Read moreThe food was superb! We had 3 courses all of which everyone thoroughly enjoyed! Although we should’ve asked for water but the wine was delicious!
The chalet style dining was a welcomed surprise! We met some lovely people!
Breakfast was also very very good with great attention to detail! I had a pea protein latte for the first time and the croissants!!
Can you tell we enjoyed it!?? AMAZING! We all deserve a little luxury now and then!
Pros: EVERYTHING VEGAN, Everyone working there clearly loves what they do, All biodegradable cleaning products

Not great value for money though the food was excellent. - Edit
The evening meal was sublime and I loved the communal aspect of it. However some confusion over the message of my late arrival not being passed on so I missed the first course. The room I felt was very simple compared to elsewhere I have stayed. No plant milk in the room for drinks, no hangers in the wardrobe and no tissues. There was however chocolate in the room and I loved the huge fluffy towel, cool stripey hand towel and mosaic tiled bathroom floor, very cool as was the decor throughout the hotel. Due to my late arrival I didn't ask for the missing things. The bed was maybe the most comfortable I have ever slept on in spite of only being a single and no bedside cabinet (there wasn't really the room for one). Most surprising of all was that the breakfast was a continental buffet though an amazing one with croissants and lattes I do prefer a cooked breakfast when away from home. An amazing building though and quiet and comfortable during the night.
Read morePros: Evening meal was amazing, Lattes and croissants at breakfast, Lovely building and everything vegan
Cons: Poor value for money for the room, No hangers or tissues, Poor communication between staff

🌟A gem in the Highlands🌟 - Edit
From the moment we entered the front door of this gorgeous family run boutique hotel, we were greeted with such a warm welcome, I fell instantly in love with this place!
Read moreRoxy and Lizzie, the two resident dogs were such characters, and made the hotel feel like a home from home.
From the cruelty free soap and cosmetic products to the cosy blankets and super plush pillows, the attention to detail is second to none.
We loved the communal dining experience and met some lovely and interesting like-minded people, and after many a bottle of wine and quality lager, it felt really natural and lots of fun being with each other.
Luca, the chef has taken vegan dining to a different level, and his culinary skills are quite exceptional... thank you Luca!
The breakfast was fresh and healthy with so much choice from freshly baked crusty bread with vegan honey, to perfectly baked croissants and homemade jams.
If you stay here, prepare to be spoiled!
We look forward to our next stay... nice to meet you all!!
Pros: Friendly and welcoming hosts, outstanding food,, Pure and simple luxury,
Cons: None

Wonderful stay! - Edit
We spent a weekend at Saorsa 1875 in July and had the most wonderful time. The evening meal was incredible, so special. And the breakfast was amazing too. The people running the hotel were very friendly, and what they are doing there is really special. So lovely to have the opportunity to stay somewhere 100% vegan and spend time with like-minded people. The even had 2 resident dogs who were gorgeous! Can't way to go back.

Outstanding - Edit
We found this incredible place by chance and it is a true revelation - simply the best vegan food we ever had. Each of the five courses was a masterpiece which bore testament of the Chef‘s outstanding skills. The starter was a Watermelon sashimi with lime-mayonnaise and tiny tapioca crackers. The melon had a perfect texture and all tastes very absolutely clear - amazing. It was followed by bread (made by the Chef) with almond-infused ‚butter‘. I liked most (but every course was to die for) the smoked carrot soup with whisky foam and burnt orange which came next. The main dish was a courgette, basil and buckwheat Crêpe with a hay-infused panna cotta as desert. Ever single course is worth traveling to Pitlochy. The setting itself is remarkable as well, sitting with all other guests at a large table which inevitably leads you to mingle and share this experience with each other.

Vegan Hotel / Restaurant Worth Planning Trip Around - Edit
I feel so fortunate to have learned about this hotel / restaurant during my stay in Pitlochry and to have had the pleasure of eating dinner here. The premise and decor is modern and distinctive with an impressive attention to detail. Dinner is a culinary and social experience in which ten or so guests per night eat around a communal table and journey through a five course menu prepared daily by the chef. As a result we were able to meet some lovely people—some fellow travelers, but also some local folks interested in the new place in town, which was great to see. Dinner was exquisite and delicious. My only regret is that I didn’t learn about this place early enough to book a room because I would love to have breakfast there. I would go so far as to say that I will plan my next trip to Scotland around going through Pitlochry so that I can stay at this place. If you are traveling through this area and have the means (and are a Happy Coe user), you simply have to come here. Cheers!

First Fully Vegan UK Hotel - Edit
We have just returned from a wonderful week-end spent at Saorsa 1875. Everything was fantastic! We are so pleased that we were able to be part of this historic event - the opening of the first fully vegan hotel in the UK! Jack and Sandra were excellent hosts, Luka created delicious food (enjoyed not only by me but also by my non-vegan husband) and Celine (? spelling) looked after us, too. We enjoyed chatting during dinner and breakfast to family members and other guests. Cocktails, toiletries, treats in our room and 4 legged therapy in the form of Lizzy and Roxy - we loved it all. Jim and I are looking forward to returning.
