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!
