A “STUNNING” Scottish country house and former hotel has been put up for sale.
East Haugh House, near Pitlochry in Highland Perthshire, was run as a hotel business for more than three decades by a family team before being sold on as a private residence in 2021.
The 17th century home, and its extensive outbuildings set within roughly two acres, have now been put back on the market.
Agents Graham and Sibbald, alongside Rettie and Co, are marketing the property and asking for offers over £1.15 million.
The agents say the sale “offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a stunning country house, set within its own grounds, with additional property and re-establish the former hotel business”.
Built more than 350 years ago, the house was a part of the Atholl Estate.
It has seven bedrooms as well as a five-bed annex and a separate three-bedroom cottage.
Alistair Letham, a hotel and leisure consultant with Graham and Sibbald, said: “The East Haugh House previously operated as a quality, destination, country house hotel some three years ago.
"The property since has been used for exclusive occupation and therefore could easily revert to full use if new owners preferred that.”
Chris Hall, a director of rural professional services with Rettie and Co, added: “Pitlochry has long been one of Scotland’s most popular towns attracting domestic and international travellers all year round and East Haugh is well placed to capitalise; and Highland Perthshire is one of Scotland’s most sought after and expensive residential locations for good reason.”
The husband and wife team of Lesley and Neil McGown had run the hotel from 1989 until its sale in 2021.
They said it had “been acquired by a family who plan to revert it back to residential use” in October 2021, but it has now again been brought to market.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
