The food was very good and the service, although a little slow, was impeccable. The beautiful restaurant is like a room in a stately home with artistically painted wall panels. There are some other sitting rooms and a nice bar with a real fire. Incidentally, the bar is open 24 hours for residents at the time of writing. Unfortunately, the accomodation was disappointing to say the least. On arrival, we found that we would not be staying in the Country House building, but instead, in the "Sportsman's Lodge". Okay, we thought, ' still sounds good. However, when we drove a minute or two down the road, we discovered that the "Sportsman's Lodge" was, in fact, about 20 little Butlins style cabins with no WiFi. Sparcely furnished and worn, and the mattress was so soft and thin, that we "bottomed-out" on it. Each cabin had it's own bathroom, but it was a big let down compared to where we thought we would be staying.. That said, it wasn't crazy expensive (~UKP 140), so I guess we got what we paid for, and the (extra cost) dinner and breakfast in that beautiful restaurant partially made up for it. Beautiful grounds too, but the bait and switch on the accomodation was definitely disappointing. None of the pictures on the (third party) website showed the exterior of the "Sportsman's Lodge", just the beautiful Country House.

From the moment you walk in the front door you know you're staying somewhere special. We stayed for two nights, on the Friday and Saturday night, and after our disappointing stay at the Dunkeld Hilton, this cheered us up. We didn't stay in the main hotel building but were lodged in the "Riverside Suites". The room was perfect and had a door leading out on to a small covered balcony overlooking their fishing beat on the river Tay. The balcony had a table and a couple of chairs so you could sit and take in the view and fresh air. We arrived a bit too late for lunch so opted for afternoon tea in the drawing room which is this big old room with those lumpy comfy chairs you'd expect of a pile such as this. On the first night we opted to dine in starting with aperitifs in the bar. The barman knocked up a couple of mean bloody mary's to get our appetites going. The restaurant is top notch and I found my three courses of scallops, chicken (really regretted not having the fillet steak after I spotted it on another diner's plate) and desert exquisite. The saucing and presentation were outstanding. As you would expect from an establishment such as the Ballathie their wine list is pretty extensive and they also have a decent selection of "new world" wines. We opted for a bottle of Angus The Bull to go with our dinner which was excellent. All in all I couldn't find a fault with the Ballathie, it would have been nice to stay in the main building, but we weren't disappointed with the river side suites. I'll definitely be back.

The grounds are meticulously kept and surrounding area very beautiful. If you love the outdoors, old world charm, and a feeling of what it was like to stay at an exclusive large estate manor 100 years ago, this is the place to come. My wife and I personally love it. That said it does need some major updating. The decor is definitely aligned with the local area so the theme is outdoors, hunting, etc. this is fine but it could be done in a much more updated manner. The restaurant is unfortunately average and not up to the level of the hotel. Not sure why but unlike modern hotels, the pool and gym close early. We stayed at one of the lodges. Very nice but also definitely in need of update. We were charged separately ~$100 dollars for the electricity we used during our weeklong stay, a first after 40 years of global travel. Having the Lodge cleaned once during our stay would cost 60 pounds or about $80 dollars. If you're going for the old world experience, rustic charm of the grounds, welcoming staff, etc. Then come have a unique experience. For those looking to stay at high end luxury, this may one day get there but not yet.

A basic hotel in the heart of Perth, perfect for travelers making their way through the area. It's…read moreclose to the bus station and train station and close enough to the down town area, within walking distance to everything. My boyfriend and I stayed here one of the two nights we were in Perth for my birthday and it was nice enough. An older building, it could use a bit of an update, but was completely jammed packed with tour bus patrons and wedding parties. Our room was cozy, and the window opened up all the way, which was nice as the weather in Perth was a dream compared to what we had been used to in Glasgow. There is an old lift in the hotel, which we avoided, but took the stairs to get to and from our room. There is a workout area, that caters to the people staying at the hotel, but also, they offer memberships to people who just want to work out. Most of the equipment was probably made before I was born, but it got the job done. They also have an indoor pool, sauna and steam room, which we also used. It was nice to be out all day, then come back, workout and sit in the sauna to relax. Breakfast left a bit to be desired. By the time we came down for breakfast, the tour bus worth of people had cleared the place out and left the poor staff spinning in confusion of what had just happened. There was nothing left to eat, and we had to wait a bit for more stuff to be brought out. The fry up was tasty. All in all, it seems like most hotels in the downtown Perth area are a bit tired and in need of a good refurb, but that's also what made this trip memorable and enjoyable. It's all in the company you're in, I suppose, and his company always makes my life that much better.
