Ballathie Country House Hotel And Estate

This hotel was decorated tastefully and to a high standard. We arrived in January when it was freezing outside. There were three open fires burning. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was excellent (with one exception).

The porridge was disappointingly cool, had lumps of formed skin in i and had little or no salt. Not good for an expensive hotel in Scoland. Dogs are allowed in the bedrooms only, so while we were eating, our dog was out in the car despite it being -7degrees C. Surely in the winter they could allow dogs better shelter.

comfort,excellent location,food all first class

arrived on a dark and very wet evening, so the greatest surprise was when I opened the curtains in the morning, the veiw was breathtaking, the river Tay flows through the garden.I liked everything , wish I could have stayed longer than one night.

Wonderful setting; peace and tranquility; friendly, attentive staff; good food;relaxing atmosphere;well appointed rooms; convenient for A9; Dundee and Perth

Perhaps lost some of the elegance of former days; direct booking overpriced; rather restricted menu e.g. no a la carte on a mid week evening; some of the staff need a little more training at table service.
