Ballathie House Hotel

Very good

Liked: Very comfortable old hotel with lovely situation and grounds.The B&B accommodation is excellent value.
Disliked: Dinner was poor, very expensive and for each course the plates were warmer than the food, very disappointing have had excellent dinners there in the past.

Overall good. Room 1 (Dog...

Liked: Large room in main building. Staff very friendly and helpful
Disliked: Location for eating meals when visiting with a dog not ideal - separate dining room would be more suitable rather than behind the main stairwell

Superb

Charming but a little more...

Liked: The property is beautiful and lovely to walk about. The main hotel was lovely as well. The staff were very friendly. It had a Downtown abbey atmosphere. Lovely bar to meet fellow guests which was delightful.
Disliked: It was extremely remote with few or no close options for dining. The hotel dining options were pricey but i will say very delicious. The sportsman rooms had no amenities such as shampoo and the curtains did not keep out the light resulting in a very early rise. We didn’t get the feeling from booking.com that we would be in a low end room. Our clamping pods we tried for fun were better fixed and more comfortable.

Superb stay - key was...

Liked: Really beautiful location right on the River Tay, with a sweeping drive (though lots of potholes!) and beautiful gardens. This alone made the visit.A good breakfast.
Disliked: The rooms are rather tired and could do with renovating.Not keen on the hunting decoration of the property. You might also be interested to know that some of the East Asian art on display on the upper floor is hung upside down!

Our stay very pleasant would...

Liked: Breakfast was great plenty of it and great choices. Room large, clean and comfortable. Location excellent and grounds very well kept. Dog with us looked after well also
Disliked: Only one complaint potholes on drive

Superb

Liked: Excellent food in the dining room in the main building.
Disliked: Out buildings housing the lower priced rooms were adequate and value for money but staying in the main building would be preferable if more expensive

Very good

Liked: Staff very friendly and helpful. Room clean and tidy. Bed comfortable.
Disliked: £80 for a risotto and a lamb rump? I thought was a bit expensive. (My opinion). A good selection at breakfast. But the buffet was Luke warm at best after just 30 minutes of opening.

Would not stay again.

Liked: The view of the river from the gardens. The outside of the hotel was nice.
Disliked: The food was terrible.Wait staff in the dining room at dinner & breakfast were unfriendly, rushed & sometimes confused. One in particular was just rude.
