My partner and I had the 4 course dinner with wine, to which we added a couple of ports and a whisky nightcap each. This was a lovely meal, one of the best we have experienced at a two rosette hotel. The surroundings are beautiful, the atmosphere relaxed and the service attentive and personal without being intrusive. Most definitely recommended,... More

The strongest points of the hotel are the setting, the quietness and the friendliness of the staff. The weaker points seem to be caused by the pressures that the staff experience on occasion, slowing down responses and causing minor hiccups. The hotel is physically based on a Scottish Baronial house but there are now too many residents when it's full... More

I've been staying here for many years and I have never been disappointed. I recently travelled to Scotland for a funeral with my young son and we had a lovely stay with the staff going out of their way to find something that 'might suit sir' for dinner instead of the adult fine cuisine. The breakfasts are legendary, I cannot... More

Ballathie advertise afternoon teas as being 'daily'. However having travelled 10 miles for this (on a Friday) we were turned away as they said they only had capacity to deal with a booked wedding. Another couple were also turned away. They should be clear on their website that their afternoon teas, kitchen and bar etc is only available when not... More

We stayed in the Riverside rooms, away from the main hotel with a view over the river. The standard was high, the service good and the surroundings very picturesque and relaxing. The breakfast room was very enjoyable and it's a lovely place to have a walk if the weather's fine. Beyond that it is down to my personal taste as... More

We've sampled afternoon tea here before, and it didn't disappoint yesterday. The sandwiches were heavenly. The scones still warm from the oven. The dainty cakes home made and too tempting! The hotel is lovely. It's set in its own grounds on the bank of the river Tay. It's a very special place and well worth a visit.
