A great country house in the old tradition. Staff friendly and very efficient. Quality and presentation of food excellent. Superb location for touring the magnificent countryside in Perthshire. more

Simply the best service! We got married at Ballathie House Hotel last May and could not fault it! Service was fantastic especially as we organised the wedding from London. In comparison to service at other scottish hotels, we also stayed at the Scotsman in Edinburgh and found the hospitality rather lacking. more

Must have a fabulous past life,with the river Tay running by,birds,rabbits,spring flowers and great trees. However it now needs management,money,makeover,and trained manpower. From booking to paying our bill I think we only met one native english speaker.One of the breakfast waiters at least was learning basics on the job.Their well regarded chef left them last year.We did not take dinner,but... more

Our free tijme is very limited so when we do have a break we tend to head for an upmarket hotel where we can expect a bit of luxury and delicious food.

We stayed on a two day Christmas break with friends and found everything you expect of a country house - log fires,classy lounge,comfortable room,countryside views,fantastic food and friendly easy going service. Quite a few European staff with occasional communication problems but all willing and eager to please. Lovely dining room with views to the river, full monty breakfasts including smoked... more

We couldn't agree more, and in particular with regard to the latter comment both on the day itself and... more

Having read the previous two reviews we were a little apprehensive about our visit to Ballathie. However, our experience of the hotel was excellent. We stayed in the Riverside rooms, suite 1,and the quality of room was lovely with scenic views of the river and main hotel. We have nothing but praise for the room and hotel. The food was... more

My husband and I have visited the Ballathie on many occasions and it is the food more than anything else which has kept us going back (we haven't been this year due to a newborn baby). The dining room is lovely and in winter very warm and welcoming and we have always found the service to be excellent. In fact... more

I booked the Ballathie house as a surprise for my parents while we were visiting the UK... After a long drive and a magnificent entrance ot the grounds, my mother and I went to check in and both ended up having the same reaction - "should we leave and go find another place?" Unfortuneatly this would be indicative of the... more
