Overall Ratings & Reviews Ballathie Country House Hotel and Estate

The room was very comfortable with a fine view of the gardens and the mighty River Tay. The staff were friendly and efficient. We have stayed here many times over the years and continue to return, which is a good sign. However I was quite surprised that there is no longer a breakfast buffet, which used to be one of the highlights of our stay.

Great location. Very friendly Polish receptionist. Lovely room. Great food for dinner and excellent breakfast. Ive stayed there many times and dont hesitate to recommend it.

The best place we have ever stayed with our dogs. The breakfast is excellent. Lovely grounds to walk dogs. We would not stay anywhere else.

Fantastic place! They treated us like royalty!

Relaxing and friendly as always. Food is superb.

Lovely stay. Beauyiful grounds . Very comfortable room with balcony overlooking river

It was like stepping back into 1940. The bed was so uncomfortable I had to use the thin duvet to form a topper to stop the springs digging in. Hotel has a nice location.

Every thing was just perfect, just suited us for a night away and meeting up with friends

Lovely location. Riverside room which had an amazing view from the balcony. Rooms are large, well furnished, nice fittings and well equipped. Powerful shower which is great! Need to walk to main building for breakfast but the grounds are beautiful and the weather was nice so no problem. Plenty of parking

Excellent stay as always. Clean and comfortable room, breakfast buffet delicious with a wide variety. Staff were friendly and efficient.

The restaurant and the staff in the country house, were very good, but Hotels.com was, I think, deceptive about the accomodations. Pictures on Hotels.com all showed the impressive looking country house building, but what we actually slept in, was the "Sportsman's Lodge", which was actually, one of many small cabins on the estate; like in Butlins or Hi-de-Hi minus the knobbly knees contests, etc. The "Sportsman's Lodge" cabins were adequate, but pretty basic, and were a disappointment, thinking we were going to stay in the country house.

Beautiful property with several buildings. We stayed in the riverside building, which gave us a beautiful country view across the river. Room had its own outdoor space. Breakfast was delicious and had many options. Staff were very helpful and accommodating with my glute-free diet, offering both GF toast and porridge. Absolutely recommend staying here.

Ballathie House is always a very pleasant place to stay. Staff are always friendly and efficient, the rooms in the main house are comfortable and pleasant, and breakfast is well presented and fresh. The gardens and river are a peaceful and quiet place for an evening walk.

Lovely setting on the Tay River and a peaceful, pastoral vibe.

Absolutely beautiful!

Really peaceful hotel which allowed dogs.

We have stayed here many times and have never been disappointed. The hotel is set in beautiful gardens, overlooking the river. The room was very clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and efficient. Breakfast was well presented with plenty of choice.

I have already left a highly complimentary review that refers to staying in the main house on a previous visit. Just like before, every single staff member we came into contact with was pleasant and professional. This time we stayed in a first floor room in the Riverside building and that experience was equally excellent. The views over the Tay from the balcony were lovely. The room was clean, spacious and well appointed. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and varied and set us up for the day. Yet again, a wonderful stay at such a special hotel.

After finding this hotel last year we have returned 12 months later because we loved it so much. It's in a beautiful setting, right by the River Tay and the gardens and grounds are wonderful to walk in with lush green trees and birdsong. The staff are attentive and polite, nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are clean, well equipped and traditionally furnished. The communal areas have so much charm and it's packed with original features and character. Please don't ever change, Ballathie House, we will definitely return.

Very unique property, not easy access without a car but if you do, it is a great place for getaway!
