About Us

The Peat Inn is situated just six miles from St Andrews, the home of golf. The City of Edinburgh and its airport is just one hours drive away and Dundee only 30 minutes by car. A former coaching inn, The Peat Inn was put on the map over three decades ago by Chef Laureate David Wilson and has become renowned for excellent cooking and fine hospitality. The Peat Inn was taken over in June 2006 by Geoffrey Smeddle who continues to ensure the use of the best local and seasonal produce. Here at the Peat Inn, it is not just about the food. It is about the whole dining experience: the warm atmosphere in the restaurant, the extensive wine list on offer and the friendly elegant service you receive. This has all helped to make The Peat Inn one of Joanna Blythman’s choices in a list of the top seasonal restaurants in Scotland and also one of the AA’s Top 200 rated hotels.

Our accommodation offers eight beautifully appointed suites with bedroom and separate living room uniquely on two levels. Each suite has been individually styled and carefully furnished providing the perfect space for you to relax. By choosing The Peat Inn, you may be dining with us, staying overnight on business, or perhaps seeking a short break in Scotland packed with sightseeing. Perhaps you want to escape the stresses of life,“get away from it all” and enjoy a quiet romantic interlude. Whatever the reason, your comfort is our number one priority.
