Having got to the end of a two-week holiday, I was hoping to finish on a high so the Stormont family headed off to Murrayshall Country Estate to sample what was on offer at Eolas. I last visited the restaurant back in 2020 when I enjoyed and, having fantastic memories of that visit, it would be safe to say my expectations were high. And I was not to be disappointed with Eolas serving up some fantastic fare which rounded off my break in the best way possible for a foodie.
I love visiting Perthshire, with me being in Angus it is relatively close and, having been born at Perth Royal Infirmary, it is a part of the country close to my heart. It took only 45 minutes to reach Eolas – and that was on a busy Friday evening’s traffic. However, it was a relaxing enough drive which had myself, my wife, Karen, and daughter, Cari, exclaiming that we were most definitely ready to eat.
The , nestled in leafy Perthshire. The drive up to the old mansion house is lovely as it showed the house all its glory in the late summer sun. On arrival, we were greeted like old friends as we were guided through to the Barosa Bar where we enjoyed some pre-dinner drinks.
The drinks selection is varied, impressive and good value for money. It also caters well for those who are not drinking alcohol. The girls loved their non-alcoholic cocktails, while I sipped on a delicious glass of Champagne.
After enjoying our drinks, we were taken through to the stylish restaurant which has ample-sized tables for dinin.
