Spent 4 wonderful nights at this lovely Country House Hotel. The staff were all really friendly, especially the lady who greeted everyone at breakfast. The breakfasts were all excellent. Stunning views and walks around the grounds and along the River Tay. Relaxing evening watching some fly fishman and salmon jumping. Will definitely stay here again.

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!

Tranquil Setting

The hotel is in a beautiful tranquil setting, with well tended gardens to wander through. Staff were friendly and efficient. We were delighted to see the return of the buffet breakfast, which was well presented and delicious. Some aspects of the hotel are in need of a little refreshment, but overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and we will certainly return.

What a charming property! The beds were awful but everything else was great! We had our own patio. The shower was amazing and the staff is so friendly and helpful! It is a little musty as all old buildings are but the charm made the allergies worth it.
