Discover more about Peel Farm
From Farmhouse Tea Room to Rural Destination
Peel Farm's story began in 1984 when Frances Fleming, seeking to diversify the family's traditional Angus farming operation, started serving afternoon teas and local crafts from a small sun parlour in the farmhouse. What began as a modest venture has blossomed into a thriving multi-faceted rural attraction. Today, under the stewardship of Frances' daughter Claire, Peel Farm has evolved into a comprehensive countryside experience that seamlessly blends working agriculture with visitor hospitality, all while maintaining its authentic connection to the land and local community.The Heart of the Experience: Coffee Shop & Home Baking
The coffee shop forms the beating heart of Peel Farm, offering visitors a comfortable, welcoming space to relax and refuel. The menu showcases locally sourced produce, with particular emphasis on the farm's own Highland beef and lamb. What truly sets the coffee shop apart is its commitment to home baking—freshly prepared cakes, scones, and pastries are made on-site daily, using traditional recipes and quality ingredients. Whether you're stopping for morning coffee, a leisurely lunch, or afternoon tea, the coffee shop delivers genuine Scottish hospitality without pretension. The relaxed atmosphere and friendly service create an inviting environment for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.The Courtyard: Gifts, Antiques & Artisan Crafts
Adjacent to the coffee shop, The Courtyard houses an eclectic collection of gifts, homeware, antiques, and locally crafted items. This unique shopping space reflects the farm's commitment to supporting local artisans and makers. Whether seeking a distinctive gift, a piece of Scottish craftsmanship, or simply browsing for inspiration, visitors will find carefully curated selections that capture the character and creativity of the region. The Courtyard operates independently from the coffee shop, allowing flexibility for those who wish to shop without dining.Farm Shop & Local Produce
The working farm shop stocks the farm's own Highland beef and lamb alongside a carefully selected range of Scottish and local products. Shelves are stocked with homemade jams, chutneys, preserves, local game, fresh vegetables, free-range eggs, seasonal fruits, and even real sheepskin products. This is not a supermarket experience but rather a genuine farm outlet where visitors can purchase ingredients and products with transparent provenance and quality assurance. The farm shop embodies the farm-to-table philosophy that underpins the entire Peel Farm experience.Exploring the Grounds & Nature Trail
Beyond the buildings, Peel Farm's setting within the Angus Glens provides natural beauty and outdoor exploration opportunities. A nature trail winds through the property, allowing visitors to experience the landscape that sustains the farm's operations. The trail offers a peaceful counterpoint to the social atmosphere of the coffee shop and provides insight into the rural environment that defines this corner of Scotland. The combination of manicured hospitality spaces and wild countryside creates a balanced experience for those seeking both comfort and connection to nature.Accommodation & Extended Stays
For those wishing to extend their visit, Peel Farm offers two outstanding modern self-catering cottages and glamping pods, all Visit Scotland 4-star rated. These accommodation options allow visitors to experience the farm across multiple days, enjoying the rhythms of rural life while maintaining contemporary comfort and amenities. The cottages and pods are available year-round, making Peel Farm accessible as a destination in all seasons.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
