Moness Resort

Historic Heart in Serene Perthshire

Originally built as a hunting lodge in 1758, Moness Resort stands as Aberfeldy's oldest surviving dwelling, now transformed into a 4-star retreat across 35 acres of lush Perthshire countryside. The whitewashed main building houses boutique hotel rooms with Egyptian cotton sheets, luxury spa toiletries, free WiFi, and modern comforts like flat-screen TVs and tea/coffee facilities. Self-catering cottages provide spacious 1-3 bedroom options with full kitchens, heating, and garden views, perfect for families or groups seeking independence.

Leisure and Wellness Facilities

At the core of Moness is a comprehensive leisure center featuring an indoor swimming pool with children's pool, sun loungers, sauna, steam room, and hot tub. The full-service spa offers massages, facials, body scrubs, reflexology, manicures, and pedicures. Active guests enjoy the games room with pool tables, snooker, table tennis, and a sports hall for badminton or short tennis. Outdoors, expansive grounds include a playground, mini golf putting green, duck pond, picnic areas, and gardens ideal for strolls.

Dining and Social Spaces

Two on-site restaurants and bars cater to every mood: Flemmyng Restaurant for traditional Scottish dinners and full breakfasts (surcharge), and the refurbished Uisge Bar for casual lunches, drinks, or afternoon tea. A coffee shop, snack bar, and special diet menus ensure variety, with packed lunches available for explorations. The 24-hour front desk, concierge, and wedding services add convenience for events or stays.

Family-Friendly Adventures

Families thrive here with kid-focused amenities like a soft play area, arcade games, children's menus, and cribs/playpens. Nearby, the Birks of Aberfeldy gorge—immortalized by Robert Burns—offers easy woodland walks with waterfalls and benches. Venture to Castle Menzies, Bolfracks Garden, or Tummel Shingle Islands Nature Reserve, all within 20 minutes, for hikes, history, and nature.

Practical Perks and Accessibility

Free self-parking, wheelchair-accessible features, and pet-friendly policies (dogs with fee) enhance stays. Meeting rooms and conference facilities suit business or groups. While no elevator, ground-floor options and stair-free paths to entrances accommodate needs. Free WiFi spans rooms and public areas, with daily housekeeping in hotel rooms.
