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: This place has real character — it’s a cute, old, castle-like building full of charm. One of the highlights is the peaceful garden in the back. It's a great spot to relax with a coffee or a book.
