About us

Founded in the Perthshire town of Pitlochry, Scotland, Saorsa 1875 is the flagship hotel of Saorsa, a hospitality group committed to showcasing that the best experiences in life don’t have to come at the expense of animals or the environment. Saorsa is the first 100% vegan hotel in the UK.

Housed in a 19th-century baronial building, we have 11 guest bedrooms, a bar, a restaurant, a snug, a beer garden, and a yoga yurt, all decorated with luxurious linens, bohemian styling, and antique furnishings. Everything in the hotel, from staff uniforms to the food we serve, is completely plant-based.
