A cosy restaurant with rooms in a Perthshire village has been named Scotland's best boutique hotel at the 2026 Muddy Awards by Muddy Stilettos. The Coorie Inn Restaurant and Rooms in Muthill was praised for its roaring fires, bespoke furnishings, and intimate atmosphere, described as "the ideal spot for a grown-up country escape."
Muddy Awards 2026 Winners
On Wednesday, June 17, the Muddy Awards celebrated independent lifestyle businesses across Scotland. Muddy Stilettos, an online lifestyle guide, recognised the Coorie Inn as the top boutique hotel in the country.
What Makes the Coorie Inn Special
Located in the historic village of Muthill, the Coorie Inn blends historic features with modern design. Stone walls, leather armchairs, and quirky decor create a warm, cocooning atmosphere. The venue also boasts two AA Rosettes and is Michelin-recommended.
Muddy Stilettos noted: "All the comforting hallmarks of a traditional Scottish inn are here—stone walls, roaring fires, leather armchairs—but this is not your dusty, old-school pub-with-rooms. Lush houseplants, bespoke soft furnishings (made by a local, former dressmaker) and lots of soft lighting give it a polished, stylish edge."
Fine Dining Experience
The restaurant sources fresh, local seasonal ingredients for high-quality Scottish cuisine with a contemporary twist. Lunch options include beef tartare with egg yolk jam, cured sea trout, and rump fillet. Dinner starters feature scallop ravioli and boudin blanc, while mains include venison loin and North Sea cod.
A Sunday roast menu offers roast striploin of beef, pan-fried cod, wild mushroom, or roast leg of lamb, all served with Yorkshire puddings and beef fat roast potatoes.
Accommodation and Amenities
The Coorie Inn has six stylish guest rooms with modern en-suite facilities, tea and coffee makers, Laura Thomas Co. toiletries, and free Wi-Fi. A full Scottish breakfast is served each morning. The bar and lounge feature open fires and a selection of local and international drinks.
