Ballathie House Hotel Restaurant in Perth & Kinross

We visited on Saturday 17th for Afternoon Tea, this was something we had done previously and had enjoyed it. This experience was very different, the savoury plate was very scant with little variety, the sweet plate was uninspiring as well. No one asked us if everything was okay, we were politely served but that’s where the service ended. Balathie House isn’t cheap for Afternoon Tea, it used to be sumptuous and good value, sadly it was far from it this time, we came away very disappointed and no one seemed to care.

We had the most enjoyable private family luncheon in December and everything was perfect. The riverside setting is beautiful and a favourite of ours, the food was exquisite and the service first class. We were also able to have our dog join us which we really appreciated. Highly recommend. Thank you to all for arranging this special occasion for us.

We booked afternoon tea to celebrate our 25 th anniversary. We had a splendid spread served in the drawing room with excellent service by Jalal. We are very familiar with Ballathie and everything was up to standard. On leaving we stupidly took the wrong exit and were faced with a flooded road. On trying to turn back we got the front wheels in mud and stuck ! Fortunately, another guest who managed through the flood stopped to help. He kindly alerted the hotel. Minutes later Jalal came in his car. He was unable to help. Behind him, the owners son, Mr Milligan came in another vehicle. He very quickly organised for a local farmer to come with his tractor to pull us out ! We waited no more than 20 minutes in the bar while the rescue was made. Payment was offered by us but not accepted. We can only say how extremely grateful we were for the kindness shown by all concerned. Ballathie come up trumps again .

Just back after 5 days over Xmas from the moment you walk in you are greeted by a bubbly receptionist from Latvia ..The Staff we’re excellent and couldn’t do enough .The food was Superb u can see why they have there 2 AA Rosettes .Debra and her Housekeeping Team 5 stars and was very helpful with her local Knowledge of the Area .We will defo return

Nous avons séjourné à l´hôtel et manger au restaurant. Hôtel avec beaucoup de charme, un peu désuet dans un magnifique parc. Restaurant de grande qualité à des prix raisonnables au regard de la qualité des plats. Tout était très bon. Petits déjeuners en buffet excellents. Service très professionnel et attentionné.

Excellent. Every time I have gone there for dinner, lunch or afternoon tea the quality of food and service has been first rate. It is a great place to go with family or as a couple.

We stayed here for a couple of nights in June 2023. We were looked after very well and we were given a lovely room in the hotel. The hotel is situated in a great location and the grounds are immense allowing you to walk on woodland and riverside walks. A relaxed dog friendly hotel. Food delicious.

Would highly recommend Afternoon Tea, had a lovely visit, excellent selection and attentive though not overbearing waiter.

First of all the positives. This is an amazing setting to visit and we had a fabulous table overlooking the gardens. The quality of the food was excellent. Everything we ate was delicious. However - I thought the quantity and size of what was served was very small. I have been for afternoon teas elsewhere and have not been able to finish the food off. I have a small appetite and managed to finish everything. Also, the pace of service was very slow. We had been sat at our table for 30 minutes before any food was even brought to us. We had been given coffee, but the food took too long to arrive. Overall - I left feeling a little underwhelmed.

This was our second visit to Ballathie House this year so that must say something. All in all we have been back three times and we find it difficult to fault. There is a homely charm to the hotel the atmosphere is relaxed which is a relief from the sterile manicured atmosphere of some country hotels, and the food is excellent. The situation too is quiet and relaxing next to the river Tay with glorious autumn colours at this time of year. We look forward to our next return visit.

Staff very lovely and helpful, always made sure we had enough coffee and tea. Food was lovely and very well presented 🥰 was just enough food and pleasantly filling. Only downside was that it was extremely quiet to the point where your scared to talk over a whispered voice. Would of benefitted hugely from some background music.

I was in 2 minds whether to spend £60 on the set meal but was so glad that we did. The food was tremendous with excellent presentation and the blends of flavours were to die for. The service was amazing as the waitresses bent over backwards to describe all aspects of the food I was eating. Just one of life’s culinary gems

Stayed in the hotel for five nights. We were so impressed that we dined here every night. The food is excellent, highly recommended

Yesterday we really enjoy our first visit here. We had booked afternoon tea and although it was a Monday at the end of January and very quiet, we were met with a warm welcome and had a reserved table for two overlooking the River Tay. The waiter, Juan, served us with great style and explained what would happen then talking us through every individual item of savoury and then later of sweet. The pot of tea was piping hot, the set up was perfect and we were given all the time in the world to make the most of this midweek treat. Looking forward to a second visit already!

Last minute decision to stay and for what we paid tremendous value. Courteous, obliging staff who went out of their way to please. Dinner was exceptional being of a very high standard. I’d definitely like to go back! Nice location and grounds to enjoying walking. Ticked all the boxes for us.

We booked into the hotel as a stopover on our way to Glasgow, We had booked dinner after reading reviews. From start to finish the meal and service was absolutely fantastic. It is a long time since I have come across such well trained waiting staff . The chefs obviously are extremely talented also . We will definitely come back. Thank you all for a memorable experience.

We had the 5 course meal, which was delicious. The service was exceptional. The dining room was in old style which was beautiful and looked onto beautiful grounds.

Small but adequate portions for each course, every mouthful heaven. Excellent waiting staff, excellent service.

This is a quality place with excellent service from experienced staff. The food was of the highest quality and the settings perfect for a romantic evening.

The hotel is set in beautiful grounds overlooking the river. It’s truly stunning. The staff are lovely and friendly. The evening meals & breakfast was easily Michelin star worthy. However the lunches / sandwiches need a little work!! Unfortunately, the rooms really let it down. They are very tired and in dire need of refurbishment. The plumbing is awful. The rotten timber skirting boards, architrave and bath panels etc are truly awful. I can understand the attraction of having a wedding because the photos would be amazing. But due to the archaic rooms I wouldn’t stay here again.

I love this place, so welcoming and relaxing and superb grounds. I usually stay in a riverside room or sportsman’s so my dog isn’t traipsing through the hotel, but I’m sure the staff would be great even he was. I think the rooms are really good value despite some reviewers thinking they may be getting a little tired, I personally think they are super at the price. The beds are exceptionally comfy, the bathrooms are good with shower and bath, the rooms are adequately spacious. Breakfast is freshly cooked to order and the evening meal the best I have had anywhere. Staff are so pleasant, professional, welcoming and attentive and they strictly adhered to the Covid guidelines with no fuss. The walks in the grounds are lovely and the whole place is good for the soul , can’t wait to go back again.

We went as two couples and really enjoyed the evening meal which was first class, as was the service provided. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, which was part of a dinner bed and breakfast stay.

This hotel is perfectly imperfect. Spotlessly clean bedroom with old worldly decor but it is in an absolutely stunning location.The service from all staff is exceptional from the charismatic knowledgable Bartender to the amazing restaurant staff.The food is simply sumptuous. Presented with breathtaking skills on display from the kitchen in a relaxed un-stuffy restaurant.Following a great nights sleep we had a fabulous breakfast.The Ballathie experience is one of total relaxation and I would recommend highly.

Took our friends for their wedding anniversary and the food and wine was excellent. Ballathie never fails to deliver

Four family members enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Balathie House last night. Each of the 5 courses were prepared and presented exquisitely. The dishes at this top class restaurant are always full of different flavours and little surprises that blend into an absolute treat for the taste buds. The friendly and helpful staff provided impeccable service. We can hardly wait until our next visit.

This was one of the best hotel and restaurant experiences we’ve ever had. The staff and owner could not h ave been more attentive.The owner even took time to point out one of his favourite walks in the large estate. The only problem we experienced was with our satnav . Due to the large area covered by the post code. It took us a few attempts to find the entrance to the hotel grounds. But the effort was more than worth it.

I would stay here and enjoy breakfast. I think the dinner prices are too high for my style. At times the waiters appeared less than pleasant . By the way, they are not from Scotland. Perhaps being in a group of ten affected the way they looked at and attended us.At breakfast all we’re nice and friendly . Bountiful food in a beautiful setting!

Exquisite food,imaginative menu, beautiful surroundings, delightful, friendly, professional staff,this is THE place if you're looking for something special, a terrific dining experience.

Two days here means, quite simply, eating two of the best dinners available in Scotland. Well sprinkled with local produce, the menu is not long(4 choices of each course) with an amuse bouche, pre dessert course and coffee with Petit Fours making the meal stunningBacked with superb service in both bar and restaurant, these meals were outstanding. Set in a magnificent building, old style decor perfectly maintained and cleaned, this experience is totally delightfulOf all the special dishes, Ballotine of Salmon was the outstanding dish for me, but the Filet of Hake my wife enjoyed may have been even better!As a side issue, the staff anticipate your every need and prepare well for it, especially in pouring your wine for you. Our joy is the understanding of my wife's dietary needs, known to all staff and, when necessary having a dish prepared and served especially for her. Thank you Ballathie

Some of the best food in Scotland and fantastic and good value afternoon tea. Lovely dining room and great places to have a drink. Fantastic river views

We enjoyed the 5 course evening menu which was delicious from amuse-bouche to dessert. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavour combinations were simply stunning.

My wife and I had a relaxing afternoon at the Ballathie yesterday to enjoy her birthday voucher for afternoon tea! Our previous visit was for lunch. The glorious surroundings of the gardens with the rhododendrons in full flower and the comfortable lounge to chill out in enhanced the Ballathie experience even before enjoying the savory selection which was followed by a further cake stand full of sweet treats. We had so much to choose from that we just couldn't manage it all.

Eten op stand. Goed verzorgd, vriendelijke bediening en heel smaakvol! Mooie entourage, klassiek en bijna “royal”

This Hotel is very welcoming and the staff very friendly . The room was located on the Riverside area and was lovely & clean with a view over gardens & the river .

Go fairly regularly but advisable to book. Sunday Lunch is a must. Aiming for an overnight stay.If we can get someone to look after animals.Chef very creative with delicious mouthwatering dishes. Staff attentive and cheerful. Lovely having coffee/liquers in bar with open fire. Lovely walks

Been here on two occasions now and both visits have been excellent.Lovely traditional Country House Hotel with the restaurant overlooking the Tay.Service is excellent and the presentation and flavors of each and every dish from the £27.50 3 course Sunday lunch was amazing.(bonus point for no supplement for the cheese board) Upon leaving the restaurant a gentleman also having lunch introduced himself as the owner and asked my wife if she had been looked after which was a nice touch. If I lived locally I would be eating here once a week. Full marks all round.

I had been given vouchers for this hotel and having not been for a long time I was looking forward to using them. I wasn’t disappointed by my visit, it was a lovely afternoon tea with especially good scones and hot savoury treats. Staff were attentive but not smothering, and the room that it was served in had lovely views over the river and nice relaxed atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend this to a friend, and wouldn’t mind getting more vouchers for this lovely country hotel

Having Sunday lunch at Ballathie was an experience to remember with a friendly welcome following a beautiful journey along the tree lined drive.

Went for lunch, arrived to beautiful location and received a very warm friendly welcome. Very much a Scottish country house hotel set on the River Tay. Beautiful grounds and dining room overlooking the Tay. The staff were v helpful and friendly. The menu was varied and obviously well thought out to use local products. Dietary requirements dealt with without any fuss. £27.50 for 3 courses - all food was excellent - roast sirloin, chicken, beetroot & goats cheese salad, puddings v good. Definitely good value and delicious food.

I took my aunt for afternoon tea just before Christmas and she really enjoyed the experience. We were in a lovely lounge room with sofas and comfortable chairs. We had a seat overlooking the gardens and close by there was a tree decorated in lights. Lovely setting. There was no rush and we could have sat there all day. My aunt does not eat meat and they had accommodated her needs in the choice of food on the plates. The sandwich fillings were different and not the usual afternoon tea offerings but the little venison burger and scones were delicious.

Fine dining at its best. This was a lunch to die for and the excellent service, beautiful surroundings and reasonable prices made this a memorable experience. Well done everybody!!!

We've been coming here for years , and the Ballathie House Hotel serves up one of the best sunday roasts in Scotland. Better than the Balmoral in Edinburgh, and the Galvin at the Waldorf. Price is under £30 for three delicious courses. Booking essential! :-)

Was given a voucher as a birthday treat. Also decided to take my son along and pay the £21.50. I would have preferred to have been given a choice of sandwiches, as none of us were very keen on the fillings. Unfortunately, the bread was hard around the edges. I explained this to the waiter. There was nothing done about this. The hotel is in a beautiful setting, which really is the only positive comment I can make. The afternoon tea was certainly not worth the money and I would not recommend it.

Dined here twice whilst staying at the hotel. Food was good and service ok. Can recommend the lamb which was scumptious.

Everything here is almost perfect - service, ambiance, food and drinks to mention the obvious. We had carpaccio that was a bit thicker than usual, still tender as a thin slice. And so elegant in the presentation....

Nous avons séjourné à l’hôtel et le soir nous sommes allés à ce restaurant. Pour 55£, vous ne serez pas déçus. Déjà la salle est très belle, avec des peintures au mur et une très belle vue sur la rivière. Pour ce qui est du dîner, c’était parfait. Très bien servi, excellente nourriture, rien à dire. Et vous prenez votre café dans un des salons annexe à discuter avec d’autres convives !!

Was getting treated by my friend for lunch here. I had the smoked salmon for starters and the sea trout for mains. I can honestly say they were both utterly delicious. Two friends I was with really enjoyed their food too. The service was lovely, waiters were friendly and polite. Thanks again guys...

We thoroughly enjoyed a three course meal. The food was most enjoyable and the service was efficient and courteous.

The food in this hotel is of the very highest standard. The presentation of every course was just amazing and tasted every bit as good as it looked. Highly recommended.

We had been given a voucher for an afternoon tea and decided to use it whilst on holiday in Scotland. We were blown away by the service and the delightful afternoon tea - easily the best ever. Mini venison burgers through to the little pots of Eton mess this tea did not disappoint in any way

Beautiful location by the river on a sunny Sunday, this was a perfect place to enjoy lunch with our dear Scottish friends. I had beetroot to start and the roast beef, it was beautifully cooked, just as beef should be.

Was given a voucher for afternoon tea as a birthday gift. Beautiful hotel in lovely grounds by the river. Food was beautifully presented, staff could not have been nicer. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

We have been going to Ballathie House for celebration meals for a number of years, this time for my mother's 90th birthday celebration.

Up from Kent to visit family , my Scottish cousin invited me to accompany her to enjoy a gift voucher for two she’d been given for Afternoon Tea in this relaxing , picturesque country house Hotel beside the river Tay.

We had a wonderful lunch here with friends. The drive up to the hotel was beautiful. the hotel is set in marvellous grounds alongside the River Tay. The restaurant has fine views of the garden and the river. The food was delicious and tasted as good as it looked. I had an excellent guinea fowl. The restaurant has consistently been awarded two rosettes by the AA. The service was impeccable and the meal was reasonably priced. The friends who with us use this restaurant again and again and are never disappointed. We will definitely return.

Having dined and lunched often over the years at Ballathie House decided as part of my husband's birthday treats we would have Sunday lunch here. My goodness what a change and notfor the better. It started with a game of" hunt the barman " no one serving only passing staff dotting in and out. Eventually ordered drinks and were given menus and made our choices gave our starter and main course orders to our waiter who asked

It is difficult to say anything negative about this hotel and restaurant. An impressive long approach road through well tended grounds leads to this elegant hotel overlooking the river. Efficient reception. Spacious public areas, including an unexpected place at the top of the stairs. Long corridors, with, in our case, two short sets of stairs,so not ideal for those with mobility problems. Our bedroom has some good imaginative touches. Ample magazines and books sprinkled around the corridors. Set menu ( with good choices) for £55 fair value. But if one does not have one of the courses, a deduction is made from the bill. There are a variety of offers available during quieter times of year. Staff well trained and friendly. Good place for dogs, who seem to be welcomed.. .

Was here several years ago for a special lunch, at a knockdown price. Have to say, it was uninspiring and left a poor impression. Anyway, fast forward to this year and a good friend gets us an Evening Meal gift, with win. What a difference. Service was first class with all staff really attentive. The meal was impeccable, a 5 course one at that. All in a classy surrounding. There was no rush, the table was ours for the evening. Only slight, tiny grumble? Didnt get the wine or water glass topped up. I dont mind, as I like doing this myself, but higher end establishments pride themselves on this. And also... I used my small dessert spoon, for my main course to serve a sauce and it wasnt replaced. Minor quibbles.

Superb Afternoon Tea. Attentive and friendly staff and wonderful food. Proper loose leaf tea with strainer the way it should be. Wonderful comfortable warm lounge with living flame fire overlooking one of the finest Salmon beats on the River Tay. Couldn't ask for better. Thanks to everyone at Ballathie.

We booked the Ballathie for a family lunch for ten people in December. This meant that the hotel was preparing for Christmas so it was nicely decorated including some snow outside!

This place rightly deserves all the awards and accolades for the food and menus they put together.

We stayed at the hotel and were on a full board rate which was great value, The dinner was excellent

Wonderful presentation and delicious food.great attention to detail. Husband had duck as a main and I had hake. Both cooked to perfection and enhanced but accompiements. Unobtrusive and friendly service. A real treat.

We had beef, duck, souffle, minute filet and potatoes. Very well prepared! Customers very well served by service minded staff. Great!

I am writing this review after raising some points during my stay and have not had any acknowledgment which tends to confirm and repeat the indifference when I checked out on 25th November where I left feedback.

Outstanding Country House Hotel in magnificent surroundings, food is exceptional, plenty of parking space, beautiful ambiance in main house, cosy bar, Convenient to Dunkeld and Pitlochry

Loved the food and service at Ballathie House, however that was my first and last visit.

We had a stay in the hotel and we ve eaten at the hotel restaurant. The atmosphere was very good and the diner too. We ve chosen the menu and the quality and the taste was very good. Sure a diner is expensive over there but it is absolutely worth it.

This was our second visit to this establishment and can only praise this establishment.They are dog friendly and the grounds are lovely.The food is of the highest quality and will definetly be back.The staff are very attentive and take time to speak to you on an individual basis.I would recommend this establishment and we will be back.

Try it, the food is off the scale at the price. Surprised and thrilled with our selections and the service.

we ate dinner only one night because the meals were expensive and the service terrible. while the food selections were interesting, the food itself was very average.

Dîner gastronomique, tout était parfait de l'amuse bouche au dessert . Très bon choix de vins. Compliment au chef et au personnel

I was at my cousin Clare's wedding here at the end of April. It was a wonderful venue and the staff were very attentive. The meal was amazing and the service was first class. The entire place, including the grounds are just steeped in atmosphere. When sitting in the lounge after the wedding ceremony and meal, I felt like I was lady of the manor and I found myself imagining what it would have been like here back in the days when it would have been a stately home. Wonderful place!

My partner and i stayed at Ballathie with our two dogs. We had a lovely room overlooking the River Tay and there are a lot if woodland walks. We had a living room where the dogs slept and the accommodation suited our needs. We had dinner in rhe restaurant which was of an extremely high standard. Will go again.

The 5 course set menu is extremely good value. the standard of cooking is very good. I will definitely be returning at some point!HAVE THE GUINEA FOWL

Ballathie is always a special place to go. The location is stunning, the house is beautiful, the interior is luscious, the fires in winter just as you'd want them, and the food is to die for. A good wine list - although not always the most informed staff; if I'm going to pay lots of money for a special bottle of wine, I want to know it will be served at exactly the right temperature and has been opened, if appropriate, at the right time.

The staff, but particularly the chef/s deserve 100% credit for the food that was prepared during our stay at the Hotel. Whether it was the breakfast with great choice, or the evening set menu meal. The food and the preparation of the food was first class.

Excellent food. 5 star quality food and service. We really enjoyed everything about our meal and the staff were so attentive. After our meal we were invited to enjoy our coffee in the beautiful drawing room with open fire.

Three of us had a delicious three course lunch for a birthday celebration. Beetroot cured salmon and desserts were fantastic and presented perfectly. Bream main course got a big thumbs up. Roast beef was well cooked with nice veg but not as special as other courses, maybe a choice of roasts would be good. Cost of £31 per person (not include drinks) seemed a bit expensive to us but good for a special occasion.

Excellent food and service. Same menu both nights of stay, would have liked a different choice on second night.

Eight adults and 4 children came here on a Sunday for my Daughter-in-law's 40th birthday celebration. We were welcomed by very polite staff who took into one of the many lounges for pre lunch drinks. After placing our order in the lounge, we were soon invited through to one of the dining rooms to start our three course set lunch. The service was exceptional, the staff knew what each person had ordered, and placed each course (wearing white gloves) in front of whoever had ordered that particular dish. The portions of starters and deserts are quite small, though the main course was an expected size. The quality of the food was first class, obviously the food had been very well thought out and presented by a chef who knows what he is doing. There are only a choice of 4 items for each course, but we found these to be perfectly adequate. For example, the mains were a choice of fish, beef, chicken and vegetarian. The cost for the 3 course set lunch is £27.50. It is very good value, excellent food,served by very attentive staff in a beautifully decorated dining room. The whole experience at Ballathie is wonderful, I cannot find any fault, the setting is especially worth the visit as the entrance along the driveway is stunning, and with the river Tay passing through the grounds giving an added bonus. Well worth coming here, though I believe it is essential to book in advance.

Ww went here for a special occasion and had a wonderful meal. The menu choice is a bit limited but all the food we had was excellent, especially the deserts. They a very good wine list as well. The service was first class and the restaurant has lovely views over the hotel gardens and river Tay. Lovely setting for a special meal.

This restaurant serves superb food not only does it taste good but it looks amazing The staff serving us were excellent,this is a lovely place to eat.

Lovely food. Everything was cooked and presented beautifully. Ate here for two nights and couldn't fault the food at all. Waiters were very attentive without being intrusive. Excellent service, would recommend.

Absolutely delicious food using local ingredients every single dish we had was delicious and presented beautifully

Although expensive, the restaurant was excellent. Each time we visited, be it breakfast or evening meal, we were personally taken to a table, seated and given menu. Service was with a welcome and a smile. The food was absolutely beautiful. Surroundings were also lovely.

My wife and I have just returned from an overnight stay, bought for us from our eldest daughter for a treat for our 30th wedding anniversary.And boy, what a treat. Wonderful setting in the beautiful area of Perth, we had a wonderful riverside room overlooking the river Tay, the room was clean and comfortable, then we had the best hotel meal that I've ever had, they change the menu daily, using local produce, the chef deserves a Michelin star for the fantastic food presentation and taste which was on offer,and the breakfast was just as wonderful,I'd like to thank all the hard working staff on duty during our short but wonderful stay,I will definitely return in the future.....

Went here for Afternoon Tea this was realy quite nice the setting is lovey and staff nice we had lovey window table with out looks over the river, very relaxing pace of sirvice and i had coffee and it was very good, The sandwich's nice but bit dry haven sed this the rest of it was very nice and did enjoy it very much and would go back, we my loveing wife was very Lucky in that my careing Daughter gave us this as a gift .

This is a lovely country House Hotel we were very well looked after the food is very good and helpings are not to large

We only had a one night stay but thoroughly enjoyed it, this hotel is a classic Scottish Country House Hotel , great setting on the banks of the River Tay, we were in room 2 which had a brilliant view of the river (I'm a fisherman) where I watched the house boat harling for spring salmon, our room was fine clean and functional (this is not a boutique hotel) I have to say the hotel suited me down to the ground stuffed salmon, antlers and various other antique pieces adorning the walls plenty of atmosphere, and a tidy comfortable wee bar, our breakfast was excellent my partner plumped for the smoked haddock which I have to say looked superb, me classic Scottish breakfast, a really enjoyable visit

We booked for an overnight stay via Booking.com as a birthday treat. We were called upon booking by the hotel to say that they were overbooked for dinner that evening (saturday) however we would be placed first on the waiting list for a table. The hotel itself is really somewhere you hope to go to get away from the busyness of life. We did not anticipate that residents would not be able to be fed in a hotel where the only option is to either get a taxi elsewhere if we didn't want to drive.. which we didn't ! Not ideal at all. We were reccomended a restaurant 10 minutes drive away but it too was fully booked. The only food available in the hotel bar was a very limited choice of soup and sandwiches...not what we expected to be eating on our birthday treat weekend. In the end we drove 10 miles to a supermarket to get some supplies and ate those in our room. However our first disappointment was to find we were allocated to riverside building though upon booking online we had specified the main house. The annexe can only be described as a very tired 80s throwback and nothing like the beautiful photos of period rooms on Ballathie House's website. We queried this with staff who blamed booking.com for allocating rooms and offered us the one and only tiny double left in the main house. A poky room also with tired decor , no shower and with a small window...we decided to remain in riverside and put up with the Hyacinth Bouquet chintz decor and orange pine due to the small balcony and river view. Finally we were disturbed twice in our rooms by staff. Once on the Saturday evening (whilst eating our supermarket fayre) offering us more coffee sachets and secondly on the Sunday morning our door was opened by cleaning staff and at 9.30 am whilst we were still in bed! A truly disappointing experience in a tired hotel which has such potential. Having stayed in a number of hotels many of which are significantly less expensive than Ballathie House we felt poorly served by this experience and would not reccomend.

Went with our family to the Ballathie House Hotel restaurant for Sunday lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was very nice and the service was very friendly indeed. We were well looked after when we were there.

Attended for a family private dining occasion and was well looked after. Old school fine dining. Liver Pate starters were excellent. Main of Mushroom Risotto - not enough depth of mushroom flavour but very tasty roasted baby tomatoes. Followed up with a perfunctory cheeseboard, the quince jelly complimenting some local cheeses.A beautiful location on the river taking you back in time.A good place to dine for a special occasion. Jeans & T-Shirt are just not going to cut it!

Enjoyed a fabulous dinner here with family. Every single person raved about the food. I am quite a fussy eater but this meal was exceptionally good. The menu choice was extensive, the food was presented in a decorative way but it was the taste of the food that excelled. The staff were friendly and very professional. Our bedroom was a good size and the bathroom huge. We were in room 22 (Peebles). As our room was situated at the end of a corridor it was very quiet. Breakfast the next morning gave us another menu to pore over. Everything from smoked haddock with poached eggs to the traditional full Scottish. The whole experience was very pleasurable.

his is part two of my earlier review of Ballathiie House Hotel. In Perthshire.... Lovely location but that's about all it's got going for it. In my earlier review I compained about the £90 per night room called the Cabin... Room 19 a. Now you can see my images of that room. Does it look like value for money in a four star hotel...a single bed beside a library bookcase, the shower was a disgrace.... Must have been there for 50 yrs, dreadful !! Judge for yourself....

Restaurant food in this amazing hotel is absolutely stunning. Attention to detail taste and presentation is out of this world. I've never eaten a finer meal in my life! Will be back. Thank you head chef Scott Scorer a pleasure to dine in ballathie.

A gastronomical delight! A fusion of unusual flavour a and textures that left ones mouth tingling....

Perfect - comfortable, clean. Great food, staff attentive. Made you feel welcome. We stayed in the sportsman's lodge very practical, and quiet. Amazing views from the dinning room.

We have recently held our eldest daughter's wedding at Ballathie House Hotel which was a wonderful weekend for our many friends who travelled far and wide to spend the weekend in Perthshire. Ballathie did us proud, the food was superb and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. It was magical weekend and we are extremely grateful to Ballathie and its staff. We would certainly recommend Ballathie who can cater for all groups and sizes! Marvellous.

Food looked amazing and tasted fantastic. Would highly recommend a visit but make sure you book as it is very popular.
