Rooms & Design
The Fortingall has 10 rooms, each recently renovated by interiors brand Anboise, with handmade furniture and contemporary art. The rooms are named after local clans like Campbell and Stewart, offering pastoral views over sheep-filled hills. Guests find tea and coffee facilities, comfortable beds, and bathrooms with clawfoot tubs or excellent showers in select rooms.

The hotel operates two restaurants: the main dining room and The Ewe Bar, both serving dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. The chef adapts menus for dietary needs, with vegan options and personalized dining experiences available upon request. Breakfast is hearty with options like full Scottish, while dinner includes starters like duck rillette and mains like pork belly with black pudding mash.
