International news
The team behind Saorsa 1875 - the UK’s first plant-based hotel - in Pitlochry have announced the hotel’s “chapter has come to an end” as they plan to close the business to “move on to new opportunities.”
The hotel opened in a Victorian mansion in 2018 on East Moulin Road in the popular Perthshire town and was 100% plant-based, from the food to the toiletries, drinks, furnishings, cleaning products and staff uniforms.
The business was put up for sale for offers around £950,000 in May 2024 Ms McLaren-Stewart confirming it’d stay open until a buyer was found.
Since opening it has been a popular spot for vegans, vegetarians and those curious about the ethos with the team saying they’ve served more than 125,000 dinners since opening. Celebrity guests have stayed at the hotel, including Alan Carr.
No date has been announced for the closure .
