Ballathie Country House Hotel and Estate

It’s a nice hotel in a great location. The lodges are spacious comfortable but dated and a bit tired. Fair value though. I would stay again.

Welcoming, friendly staff, lovely grounds, great breakfast and quiet and peaceful. Would recommend to anyone who needs to stay in the area.

Very picturesque setting and pretty garden areas. Annex was a good distance from the main entrance if it was wet. Good sized room and bathroom but TV was far to small in comparison to the room.

Room was clean and comfortable, with double aspect windows. Bathroom was clean, large and well-appointed. There was a rather noisy sound of a motor running during the night, but we coped with that. Breakfast had a wide choice and was well presented. This is a really lovely hotel, set in beautiful surroundings.

This was a beautiful house and location. Our room was in the lodge. The tub/sink/toilet were modern and the bed was clean and comfortable. But the room was a bit on the shabby side. It could do with some updating. The breakfast buffet was very good.

The new rooms added to the original building are terrible and lack cleanness. Noise of water and doors, plus a fire alarm at 7:00 am. The surrounding area, the river and gardens are breathtaking though. Dinner expensive for what you get!

We stayed in riverside 2nd floor and had an beautiful view! Very peaceful!

What a great choice of Ballathie House Hotel . From greeting and over the 2 days B&B the service we had was first class . On first day we had afternoon tea which was wonderful . A special mention must go to Craig who served us . Breakfasts were a feast of first class fare. We are both of the opinion that we will come back to this excellent Hotel.

We stayed in the Sportsman Lodge with very dated and plain decor. The bathroom had black mould between the tiles and the duvet was thinner than any I can recall ever having slept under. The rooms were basic more reminiscent of a well worn Travel lodge than a Country house hotel. Guest facilities in the rooms were poor without even supplying shampoo for the shower. Towels were small and no face cloths provided. Tea and coffee making facilities were on a shelf barely big enough to hold the kettle. The floors creaked so loudly you could hear every step and movement of the guests next door and I probably shouldn't mention the lack of sound proofing. Sufficient to say we heard everything! and I mean everything! that happened in the room next door. Definitely not a place for a romantic night unless you want to share the encounter with the adjacent rooms. In all our overnight stay cost well over £300 and I think we would have had a more relaxing and certainly more private overnight stay in a Premier Inn. However the food was excellent and the level of service in the hotel and restaurant first class. Beautiful location and excellent food let down by the very average rooms. I expected much better for the price so overall it got an average score. Without the excellent food and service it would have been a 1 star from me.

We were on a roadtrip from Edinburgh to Isle of Skye and picked this place randomly as a good stopping point to make headway on the drive. One of the best decisions we ever made and by far my favorite place we stayed at during the whole trip. The whole place is beautiful, inside and outside. We stayed at one of the riverside rooms and had a balcony where we could sit and watch the river. The surrounding areas are great for a morning walk and everyone is generally quiet. The staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking. My favorite part was breakfast. It felt like the ideal British breakfast experience where you’re sitting in a beautiful room, well lit by the morning sun, staring out the beautiful lush green view outside as you butter your toast and pour milk on your coffee. And the food was delicious too. Overall, an experience I would recommend to anyone visiting Scotland.
