Overlooking the Tay Valley, the 500 acre working farm grows barley for the local distillery and boasts a range of accommodation – there’s even somewhere for horses to stay.

A true field-to-fork experience, the judges tuck into a delicious dinner at The Hide, Lindores unique catering hut, while Grado gets behind the wheel of a tractor, bringing in the bales.

Other getaways included in the episode are Ballintaggart Farm near Grandtully in Perthshire and Borodale House on the Hebridean Isle of Raasay.

Judge Fiona says it’s a tricky category. She said: “Not only do they have to excel in terms of the accommodation but they’ve also got to absolutely blow it out of the water in terms of food and drink.”
