Very comfortable stay at Ballathie House Hotel! We stayed for two nights, Enjoyed walking the grounds and by the landscaped garden near the River Tay. We also played croquet, and badminton! Our room was comfortable, although a little warm and only one of the windows would stay open. Breakfast was a buffet style and had numerous options! We also dined one night, which was delicious, and also enjoyed whiskey in the bar another night with the very knowledgeable bartender, James, who was a wealth of information, and gave wonderful suggestions based on taste! We enjoyed our stay!

A Lovely Stay.

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful country house hotel. Staff were pleasant, friendly and efficient. The room was clean and comfortable, large enough to have a seating area. A small irritation was the rather noisy kitchen extractor fan, directly below our window, which started very early each morning! Breakfast was excellent, well cooked, with plenty of choice. The area around the hotel is very well maintained, with beautiful gardens.

Quiet location

Good size room, lovely location and pleasant staff. Couldn't get a restaurant place for some reason but was happy for the alternative bar supper option however this was a little expensive in reality. The strong point of this hotel is the staff. Very helpful, especially the barman who seemed to appear everywhere!
