Best Western Balgeddie House Hotel Guest Reviews
Write a review
Set in the peaceful countryside of North Glenrothes, the Best Western Balgeddie House Hotel offers a classic country house experience with a modern twist. Originally built in 1923, this traditional hotel blends historic character with contemporary comforts like free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and serene garden views. Surrounded by lush Fife landscapes, it's a calm and comfortable base for music lovers looking to escape the bustle after a big night out.
If you're catching a gig in Fife or nearby towns, this hotel is a smart pick thanks to its quiet location that's just a short drive from local music venues. After the energy of the show, unwind in the oak-paneled cocktail bar or soak in the countryside views. The 12:00 check-in is ideal for arriving early, and though check-out is at 11:00, the relaxed vibe makes mornings easy. Free parking makes it simple to get in and out, even for late-night returns.
The on-site Brasserie serves fresh Scottish cuisine and overlooks the gardens — ideal for a pre-show meal or post-gig wind down. A full cooked Scottish breakfast is available, so you don’t have to miss out even after a late night. While 24/7 room service isn’t offered, the cocktail lounge and bar stay open late enough for a relaxed nightcap, and Glenrothes eateries are just a short drive away.
While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, the cocktail bar is a cozy spot to unwind with a dram of local whisky. You're also within easy reach of bars and pubs in the Glenrothes area — perfect for continuing the night after the encore.
Guests rave about the friendly staff, peaceful location, and the hotel’s blend of old-world charm with modern amenities. Many highlight the beautiful gardens and restful atmosphere — exactly what concert-goers want after a loud night out. The quality of food and the traditional bar are also frequently praised.
While the quiet location is a plus for some, others mention that it's a bit off the beaten path — so having your own transport is recommended. Also, if you're hoping for 24/7 room service or a buzzing nightlife scene on-site, you might prefer a more central hotel.
If you're after a quiet, comfortable place to recharge after a concert — with Scottish charm, great food, and countryside views — Best Western Balgeddie House Hotel is a solid, soothing choice.

Liked: Gem of a hotel! Quiet location but close to the town. Very clean and comfortable with good TV channels. Lots of choice for breakfast, eg full Scottish breakfast, Continental breakfast, cereals, toast, poached eggs on toast, veggie options also, fruit and yogurts - plus plenty of tea or coffee. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely return to this hotel.
