My partner and I stayed at the Balbirnie House Hotel for two nights in early June and we also hosted a family dinner for 20 in the hotel’s private dining room. Our deluxe Room (No. 307) was large and on the top (3rd) floor; no lift available so the porter was obliged to carry our luggage all the way! The... more

I stayed here overnight for business. Although pricey I had an amazing room and the staff were wonderful. We were greeted with warmth and terrific service. Unfortunately the main restaurant was closed, so we ate in the bistro, which didn't have a great deal of choice but the food was very good. I'd thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone and... more

To say that you are welcomed would be a huge misunderstanding. They advertise that their dining isoff to a flying start and they ask are you ready!! McDonalds has better service, food and atmosphere compared to the Bistro at Balbirnie, where you are treated as a second if not third class citizen. I was given a voucher by friends who... more

Styed here overnight whilst at a conference. Staff very helpful & efficient. Room was spacious with all I could want (including access to internet via TV). Hotel ought to get duvets tho' - didn't sleep so great with sheets & blankets. Was very disappointed by food tho' despite it having won awards. If you like cooked breakfast then you'll be... more

Fantastic wedding venue - my sister married here last week and we had a fantastic time - i admit that the rooms are pretty inconsistent in size but that is reflected in the price and some of the rooms are really quirky and add to the overall feel of the hotel - the food in the orangery is amazing and... more

Although we did not stay overnight at the hotel as we live nearby, my husband and I enjoyed a lovely evening to celebrate my husband's 50th Birthday. I would like to commend all staff for very professional, friendly and attentive service. The meal was excellent and when the staff discovered it was a special occasion the chef decorated my husband’s... more

Our family and friends are slowly coming down to earth after a truly fantastic day on 20th October, 2007 (our daughter's wedding reception held at Balbirnie House). The whole thing was just superb from start to finish, due in no small measure to the attentiveness and professionalism of all the staff who were involved during the day (and right into... more

Excellent wedding venue- the function suites are lovely. Rooms not great- small, windows on the roof so no view of the lovely grounds which was pretty disappointing. Food was really good including really nice breakfast. Hotel should invest in duvets as it's pretty annoying having the blanket and sheet arrangement. Bar closed at 1am prompt which for a residents bar... more

I am a bit biased about Balbrinie House Hotel, since I got married there and had the most perfect day and overnight stay in the honeymoon suite 4 years ago. So it was with pleasure that when 2 of our good friends booked it for getting married, we booked a room at a discounted rate. On arrival, we were put... more

Balbirnie is a convenient and restful place to stay for a night out of Edinburgh. Service is very good, the bar/lounge area is extensive and dinner in the Orangery well worth staying for. Compared to other SLH hotels though the fittings in the rooms are still stuck in the 1990s - small cheap TV, poorly functioning bathroom plumbing etc. When... more
