We ate here on 4/24 around 7pm and were able to sit outside with no wait. We weren't able to stay at the Inn but it was a short walk from our hotel. The service was great and the atmosphere was very quaint. The food came out hot and was delicious. I highly recommend this place. read more

While exploring the countryside of Scotland, a certain sense of romance protrudes through the air. During the journey, one encounters the kindness of the Scots, the fields filled with sheep and highland cows, often forgetting that there is other life outside of this small paradise. Old Mill Inn is the epitome of this paradise. Situated on a backstreet of the quiet village of Pitlochry, Old Mill Inn is positioned in a unique spot where no cars pass through. Tables are surrounded by beautiful flowers, draft beer flows freely and the food is spectacular. The steak sandwich for lunch is a must, prepared with local beef and unbelievably tender. A great spot to enjoy the town's architecture in a pleasant setting. read more

This is a review for just the restaurant. The atmosphere was pretty, but the food was just alright. What really left a sour taste in our mouth was the service. The waiters were not attentive or helpful, not friendly either. We had high hopes, but left disappointed and hungry. Wish it was a different experience! read more

Such a cozy, top notch pub. The Beef Ale Pie is fantastic, as is their Sticky Toffee Pudding, and Espresso Martini. This is a wonderful spot for a meal or just drinks. We visited here twice it was so good. read more

This was recommended to us by our driver/guide. Very busy but we were seated quickly. Cozy family friendly feel. Food was on point. We had the Salmon, scampi and mac and cheese...which were excellent elevated pub food. Servers were attentive. Pitlochry is a quaint village and this quick quality meal with great service was a nice end to our day. read more

Quaint place. Great service. Ordered fish and chips and Mac n cheese. Very good. Sticky toffee pudding was 10/10.

Excellent food in a very busy and noisy atmosphere. Servers are polite and helpful. Great place to sit at the bar watch a game or just chat it up. read more

Is it possible to give more than 5 stars..? Still to this day I think I had one of the best meals of my life at the Old Mill Inn. My boyfriend and I came to Scotland last fall and stayed in Pitlochry to do some hiking and exploring. We stumbled upon this place for dinner and I am so happy we did. For a starter, we HAD to try the Haggis neeps and tatties. I was a little hesitant at first, but I thought it was done perfectly in a more modern style that complimented all the flavors. For dinner my boyfriend had the steak and ale pie, which he liked as a warm and hearty meal. Now onto my AMAZING meal, the Roasted Guinea Fowl with Mushrooms...Just WOW. I still dream about it. The mushroom sauce was rich, but just the perfect amount to not overpower the taste of the bird. It came with potato croquets on the side which were also great. For dessert we had the sticky toffee pudding, which as you can guess was to die for. We have gone to a few places in NYC trying to find the same quality and it hasn't worked out yet... If I am ever back in Scotland in the future you can pretty much guess what my first stop will be...The Old Mill Inn. read more

First time in the area and popped in for a meal with the family and the in laws great location and great menu. Really friendly staff who made us feel very welcome and the food was great and not to pricey. My meal the Wild mushroom pasta was great and everyone finished everything on there plates. We will certainly be back again and the location next to the stream was a great bit to sit next to while we had our meal. read more

Beautiful stone building with a mill out front, good menu serving local, farm raised meats. Sweet service and lovely wood burning stove and even brew dog on tap. read more

My wife and I came in for an early dinner on a Friday afternoon. We took in drinks at the pub until the restaurant opened at 5pm. Even at that time it seemed as though the restaurant filled up fast. We were seated quickly with menus in hand a drink orders taken. I ordered the Chicken Curry with Rice and Naan Bread. My wife ordered the Ribeye Steak with Chips. Both meals were very delicious and filling. The desserts that were on the menu looked yummy, unfortunately were too stuffed to try them. The atmosphere was great and the service was very attentive. The prices for food and alcoholic beverages are a little bit higher than most pubs, however I attribute this because the area is frequented by tourists. #pitlochryrestsurants #pitlochrypubs #pitlochryfinedining read more

A hotel/restaurant/ pub in the heart of Pitlochry! Whilst walking along the main road in Pitlochry we saw a sign toward the OLD MILL INN and thought why not have some dinner there, away from the traffic.. You follow the cobbled path and walk towards a hotel, which looks lovely from the outside: real old style country house and in this case an old mill with a working wheel on the side, just beside the outside sitting area. Inside there is a lounge where you can enjoy a glass of something during the long winter months, looking out though the large windows, which let in lots of light. The restaurant and bar are modernly decorated and if you look hard you might also find a fire place. A few TVs are hanging around the rooms. We decided to have dinner on the patio area. You need to order your food at the bar and the waiters bring it to you. They are really fast serving food, or at least they were that day. The staff is friendly and polite. We ordered some starters, salmon and bread, and a chicken Caesar salad main course. The salad was a delight, served with lots of anchovies and grated cheese, exactly what a Caesar should taste like (without the chicken of course). The leaves were thinly cut and ideal to eat. So if you are on the way up or down of Scotland and should decide on a stop over I can recommend the OLD MILL INN for a quick break with a bite to eat or just a drink. read more

Swell little roadhouse. Haggis casserole was yummy. Cod (2 pieces)and chips(thick cut) also good. Plenty of outside seating overlooking water. read more

Yes it's pricey, but it's worth every penny. Good food, good choice of beers and ales and a nice terrace. The staff is friendly. Nothing to complain about. Highly recommend! read more

We just stayed there for Lunch but let me say: Totally satisfied!! This place looks amazing! A bit hidden from the main road in Pitlochry, it unveils its true beauty inside. The food there is soo delicious! I had the linguine with prawns in a spicy lemon sauce! absolut worth a try. They have like an open kitchen which I really liked, to see the cook and the staff working. Meals are well priced for that kind of establishment (I think the hotel is 5* rated?). Definitely worth a visit! read more

In need of a short break away, my boyfriend and I started scouting out the various deals websites in the hope of scoring ourselves a bargain. And a bargain we found! We booked 2 nights at the Old Mill Inn, using a voucher, and paid an extra supplement to upgrade. I'm sure the normal rooms are lovely, but our 'deluxe double' was looooovely! Driving to the Old Mill Inn means you could easily miss the turning onto Mill Lane, as it's not a road, it's paved like a pavement, so do be careful of pedestrians! There's a car park round the back too, so you don't need to worry about finding a space. It's clear that the Inn is a popular venue in Pitlochry, and it's easy to see why. They have a real log fire, topped up regularly and giving the whole place and lovely smoky smell, and a good sized bar/restaurant area. We ate at the Inn on our first night, and were really pleased. I had the steak pie, which despite not being an actual pie... (stew and some pastry) was actually really delicious. Boyfriend had the roast pork belly which judging by his "mmmms!" must have been good too. I kind of wish we'd eaten here on the second night too, but we decided to give another restaurant in town a go. Truth be told, the real star of the show is their bar bites. Costing £3.95, you get a generous portion and as well as the usual olives etc. they have options such as haggis balls and fried chorizo - oh were we obsessed with the fried chorizo! The room itself was beautiful, a good size with a king sized bed and gorgeous interior. And the bathroom! Oh the bathroom. It's gone up to the top of the list of 'dream bathrooms' for when I'm ever able to afford to buy. The bath was very deep, and there was a double shower - more of a wetroom really. Plus, heated floors! Which was very welcome in freezing temperatures! And the radio even had a speaker in the bathroom too, for when you wanted to listen to the Inn's neighbour Heartland FM as you wash ;) Our only quibble would be the breakfast. There was a buffet with fruits, yoghurts, cereal etc, and a menu with a full Scottish, porridge etc too. On the first morning I had Eggs Benedict - which is a dish I can't not order when I see it on the menu. It was disappointing. The hollandaise had clearly been made much earlier and was being kept warm, and it was far too sharp and acidic tasting. On the second morning I had the full Scottish, this was fine but bizarrely no baked beans so a little dry. Overall though, I'd highly recommend the Old Mill Inn for a weekend away. But don't go in November like us, hardly any tourist attractions are open! read more

Great, cozy atmosphere, welcoming, and speedy service. My lamb tagine was tender and delicious, and the olive starter was super. Our view of the working water wheel was a real bonus. read more

Pitlochry is not that big. It has more hotels, bars and restaurants than actual shops (well that is what it looks like). One of these is the Old Mill Inn. Recommended by my good friend a s a great place to eat and drink we headed here prior to the Enchanted Forest visit. We got a very good service and the meal provided were of high quality. Lamb Tagine may need more apricot? My steak was cooked correct and the fries were crispy. The peppercorn sauce a little thin, but well tasty. When it is not raining they have the chance to sit outside. Oh and they have their own beer 'Old Mill Inn' on the draft. On Sunday afternoons they have live music.. so we noticed :o) read more

Travelling to Pitlochry from Edinburgh on East Coast is an experience in itself, especially if they are having a bad day, thankfully there weren't on this occasion and it was a fantastic air-con coach to relax in. Costs around £20(single) But well worth it if you can do some research or work. I made use of e-gift voucher from Redspottedhanky which helped with travel costs. Once the train pulled into town, after locating accommodation, I felt like a beer or cool drink so set off looking to sample the local ales in a comfy pub. It took the better part of a day to locate The Old Mill, as it is tucked behind an RBS and just off the high street. I prefer the extra comfy spaces and seating ranges at front of the lounge type area of the bar, or booths near restaurant. The food is also grand with bar bites starting at around £4. This was a particular good mid summers day I would prefer outside as sometimes it gets noisy in the bar when sport is on...but be warned if it's sunny not all exterior tables have shade. In July there are not many midges, but this changes later on in the season or after heat goes from the sun so might hamper sitting out too long - but I never noticed any. But beware these are tourist spots and things might run out, seating/cheap beer. I paid £5 for a pint of Peroni at this venue but as it was out of the sun and hotel prices I didn't mind. We were staying near Blair Castle at this time last year, so a quick bus or train journey means you can be in the centre of town and at the atmospheric Inn within half hour. Oh also pop into the highly mentioned charity bookstore at Pitlochry station. That is if you like charity books? read more

On a Tuesday in early fall, this restaurant was pretty busy. And after eating here, it was no surprise as to the reason. The food and service were wonderful. I enjoyed wine and the salmon Caesar salad for dinner. Not a typical Scottish meal but the salmon was local and was wonderful. There are other items on the menu if you want to have a more typical Scottish meal. For dessert, o enjoyed the sticky toffee pudding which was delightful. read more

My husband and I are vegan and they veganized two veggie meals for us. We were able to have the bruschetta and they made a vegan risotto for me. My husband had the vegan curry on their menu. We both cleaned our plates. Would highly recommend!!! Lovely servers that were very accommodating, food was great!!! read more

Best meal so far this trip to the UK. Started with chicken liver pate and chutney. Lara had local lamb, Ellie had a sirloin, and I had roasted pork. They have a great chef here. Sorry there weren't any pictures as we ate everything before we thought about it. For dessert we had the Scottish ice cream for the adults and the chocolate brownie for the teenager. Great staff, very attentive. read more

Stopped in here for dinner after a nice walk. We were helped to a seat very quickly, and got our food and drinks in a good amount of time!! I got the highlander beef burger and was very happy with it! My husband got the chicken Kiev and was very satisfied :) read more

I did not stay at the hotel, but I ate at the restaurant and it was absolutely amazing. My girlfriend said her dish (roasted guinea fowl with mushrooms) was the best dish she had ever eaten. I had the haggis neeps and tatties and the steak and ale pie and they were both so flavorful and delicious. For dessert, the sticky toffee pudding, which was outstanding as well. And very reasonably priced! I want to come back to Scotland just to eat here, honestly. read more

We chose the Old Mill Inn for a short-break because they offered family rooms at a reasonable price. What a good choice! We were accomodated in two interconnecting rooms, both with en-suite. This made our stay much more comfortable considering the age of our children (10 and 12). The standard of the hotel was excellent. Everything felt very new as if the rooms have been recently renovated. The bathrooms especially were superb with big walk-in showers. Both dinner and breakfast were good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. One really nice touch is that there is no seperate children's menu. The menu offers more than half their dishes as an optional child's portion, meaning the children get an opportunity to sample the excellent local produce rather than the ubiquitous chicken nuggets. We will definitely be recommending this hotel to our friends. read more
