It has been a lifelong dream of my 82 year old mother to visit Scotland and so when planning a belated birthday trip for her this year I wanted a memorable stay - and this certainly was, from the very moment that we arrived to the moment we left. As my mother has limited mobility I wanted a comfortable hotel... more

Having just returned from my annual week's stay at Ballathie, I enjoyed the hotel more than ever. If you like hotels where the service is second to none, where the staff address you by name and you are looking for a quiet get away or some country sport, there is literraly no other option in the area. Indeed, having stayed... more

We stayed in the main part of the hotel in a medium sized room. Room was clean and had all usual facilities. Bed was large and comfortable. Bathroom had been recently refurbished to a high standard and had sufficient toileteries. We left on Monday when a lot of the rooms had been vacated and were open for cleaning revealing that... more

Having read the reviews in TripAdvisor, I was looking forward to a stay at Ballathie Country House - it would be as good as other country houses we had stayed at in Scotland. But our time at Ballathie was a great disappointment. After some trouble we found the Riverside Suite we had been allocated. But on entering, there was no... more

I stayed here in April 2009 with my wife and 22 year old daughter, having used this hotel many times for horseracing trips over the last 5 years.My dear wife asked why I always stay at the same hotel and did I not fancy a change, I explained that the hotel was in a perfect location for my needs and... more

Location wise-it is in the middle of nowhere so if you plan to explore nearby places it is essential you have a car.... more

Had a 2 night break here. Food was wonderful and good choice, staff were excellent, very attentive and caring. The room was a bit 'chintzy' for us but a refreshing change from usual hotel rooms. My favourite bit was the bathroom, built into the turret and with a HUGE bath, I floated! The taps were fantastic. A lovely hotel to... more

The brass plaque on the main door as you first go in to register at a table under the gaze of a huge salmon in a glass case introduces one side of the hotel. There is indeed no pool, no gym, but a gun room, and a drying room. We went with an elderly relative looking only for peace and... more

As a regular visitor to the hotel (normally 2 visits over 9 days every year), I thought I might succinctly review my week long stay in October 2008. Accommodation - I choose to stay at Riverside, a modern building in the grounds of the main hotel, just beside the river. I happen to, as you can (via the hotel) fish... more
