Ballathie Country House Hotel and Estate

Lovely peaceful location.

Very disappointing and not somewhere I’d return. The staff were pleasant, helpful and polite but there is so much wrong with this place given the premium you pay. It’s in dire need of a total internal renovation. The room we had felt grubby and was covered in cobwebs and spiders. The grounds are beautiful and a walk by the river is very relaxing but that’s simply not enough.

Wonderful building in stunning setting. Staff excellent. Old fashioned look adds to charm. Food very good.

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.

Lovely property, excellent service, and marvelous food. The bartender said he didn’t really know cocktails which was a bit surprising and a tad disappointing. Would have loved to go stalking but discovered we had to reserve that in advance. Will know next time.

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.

A beautiful riverside cottage room and welcoming and friendly staff

May wife and stayed for one night with our two dogs and had a fabulous break at Ballathie House. From the welcome on arrival, the room, dinner was outstanding and the location superb. A quality hotel offer a true Scottish experience. We are planning to return and this time I will have my fly rod with me. Thanks to the team at Ballathie.

The Hotel is an old manor house with a number of out building locations on the bank of the river Tay. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient, the food excellent. Some of the rooms were a little tired but now under new ownership there is an extensive refurbishment programme underway. The location with it's riverside walks is stunning. It is also greatly enhanced by the gardens surrounding the main house. My wife (an enthusiastic gardener) had some wonderful discussions with the gardener, Gordon who has been responsible for the design and planting of the beds over the last 9 years. HE is a great asset to the hotel, very skillful and extremely helpful when discussing plants. I don't think we can praise the hotel sufficiently. it offers excellent value for money and is an ideal base to explore the beautiful Perthshire countryside.

5 star all the way
