With its homely but luxurious atmosphere and open log fires, you will quickly succumb to their elegant charm, evocative period furnishings and genuine Highland hospitality.Lying in the very heart of Scotland, Perthshire has for centuries been the crossroads of the nation and thus benefits from excellent road and rail networks.

With its homely but luxurious atmosphere and open log fires, you will quickly succumb to their elegant charm, evocative period furnishings and genuine Highland hospitality. Eleven beautifully appointed bedrooms cosset you from the start, each has its own identity - individually planned and furnished with an eye for detail by local craftsman. The Hotel also has a luxurious self catering townhouse, Melville House, which is available for short term lets from two days to a week.
Stylish soft furnishings, antiques, polished wooden floors and open log fires, create a luxurious, homely charm. An atmosphere perfectly complemented by the Milsom family, who also own and run the Tufton Arms Hotel, Appleby, and their staff's cheerful, friendly hospitality.
You may dine in the walled garden during summer or choose the lounge bar for a light lunch with friends, but you are assured the very best in Scottish cuisine. After walking through the glens on a frosty morning, relax with a glass of wine by the crackling log fire.
Perthshire is often referred to as Scotland's larder and the Royal's chefs have an enviable reputation for their inspired use of natural ingredients - prime Scotch beef, lamb, venison, salmon, trout, game, sea fish, shellfish and the best soft fruit in Europe. All are harnessed to give you the very best of Scottish cuisine and a memorable culinary experience worthy of your stay at the Royal.
Award winning Chef David Milsom, who trained at his cousin's famous Le Talbooth restaurant, uses this fresh local produce, prepared with skill and flair, to create delicious classic dishes with a modern twist, matched with an extensive and well compiled wine list. The kitchen's achievements have not gone unnoticed and they have received a Taste of Scotland accolade for cooking, as well as One Rosette from the AA.
Their signature dishes include coarse venison and pork terrine served with griddled bread and beetroot chutney; and fillet of Scottish hake wrapped in Parma ham, sliced over braised cabbage and bacon, surrounded by tomato butter sauce and new potatoes.
Comrie, originally Gaelic speaking, has played host to many larger than life figures including Robert the Bruce, Rob Roy McGregor, Robert Burns and Queen Victoria - whose stay bestowed the name of The Royal Hotel on Comrie's major coaching inn. Over 150 years later, The Royal is still fit for a Queen having, in the years between the two world wars, been frequently visited by Queen Wilhemina of the Netherlands whose signed portrait hangs in the principal suite.
Why not join this exalted company and enjoy modern day comforts combined with old world charm by visiting the Royal to dine or stay?

REVIEWS OF Royal Hotel
Lesley Fudge (20 January 2010)
We had lunch at the Royal with my godparents who live in Comrie en route home to England from a family wedding further north. We chose the haggis, neeps, tatties and were delighted with the modern twist and wonderful presentation of our delicious meal. The dining room was spacious and pleasant and the hotel had a lovely atmosphere. Our waiter was delightful and friendly and this meal as well as the good company and surroundings became part of a memorable experience.
Jeff and Lisa Rockwell (20 November 2007)
I’ve been going to Comrie since 2000, got married there in 2004. I love coming to the Royal Hotel Bar to meet all of friends in the village and when they know we're coming over they book our friend, DJ Kevin Gallagher to fill the place with dance music and karaoke for a night. It’s a great draft lines and a fine pub experience. I love Cammy, the manager, and when he saw us he smiled, asked how we were doing and it was clear that he was sincerely glad to see us. What more could a visitor ask for? That's why we go there often.
