Often with these grand old country houses the initial impression is good, but upon closer inspection things are just under par. This is the case at Balbirnie. Everything was in the finest repair. The only complaint I really have is that during the wedding device the lawns were being cut, this seemed highly inconsiderate as the wedding party had booked out the entire hotel and the hotel were aware there was a wedding taking place. Aside from that minor niggle, the hors d'oeuvres were fantastic especially the cheese scones, the evening meal was also wonderful and the staff were exceptionally pleasant. One other small gripe, if I'm paying nearly £7 for a gin (Gordon's at that) I'd hope that it was a double.

We visited Balbirnie, and stayed over, when attending a wedding here in September 2015…read more Admittedly, the weather was horrible, so we didn't have a chance to stroll in the garden (darn, lost my chance to run into Mr Darcy there! :)), which presumably is lovely. The hotel itself as well as the wedding venue was absolutely amazing. The room for the cermony was the perfect setting, so extremely pretty and romantic. In the hotel, I loved the old, wide stairs and our super luxurious room (we had a "normal" double). The room had such a peacefulness and tranquility to it, and it was very well isolated - no noise at all! Had the best night's sleep in ages here! The venue (ball room) was beautiful and good sized. Loved how they had decorated the room itself, as well as the table decorations. So pretty! Foodwise, I was pleasantly surprise. To be able to serve around 80 guests that good food, that's impressive. I had the veggie version, which actually might have been better than the meat one - very unusual and I was very happy about it. Breakfast the day after was yummy, loved the scrambles - you could tell they were made with lotsa cream! The only tiny thing that I was unhappy about was that the party had to close down at midnight (hello Cinderella fantasy!). There was a small bar in the library still open, but then it was more chilling with a few people, rather than partying. Still fun, but not just the same. If I had the money, I would totally book this for my own future wedding (if there would be one) and fly all guests here from Sweden. It was such a fantastic experience for us (the bride was also really happy), and I'd love to come here again. Note to self: Make friends with some scottish couples, preferably engaged ones.

We used this as a stopover when walking the Fife Coastal Path and had a very comfortable stay. The restaurant is partly a sports bar, so there are TV screens visible from all tables, but the food is fine and not expensive.

The lounge is warm and inviting with a wood fire burning and lots of comfortable chairs to relax in. We ate in the bar, there is also a restaurant, great choice of food which was excellent.

I would absolutely recommend the Bein Inn Hotel. It is charming and welcoming, fabulous service and great food, perfect for everyone! Will definitely be returning. Thank you Karen and Dave for a wonderful stay.

We ordered and mentioned that we had a voucher and this was dealt with without issue. Main course arrived within 15 minutes and was piping hot, well presented and delicious. Would absolutely recommend as the food was excellent, service excellent and the atmosphere was also excellent

We stayed for a couple of nights as a cheap stopover while visiting Edinburgh. In truth it was a bit too far away, and unless you are specifically visiting Fife (in which case its perfect), you might want to look elsewhere. The hotel was new open when we stayed, and you couldn't fault the rooms or staff. There is also a small bar which is basically a fridge that the reception desk will serve you from! Still better than nothing! There is a BP garage across the road, but anything else would require a car.

At £50 a room p/n, I'd say you could find something in a better location with better facilities overall. In a family room with a double bed to myself with en-suite, it sounds not a bad set-up, but as I said in my check-in, the mattress felt like it had one of those waterproof sheets underneat, which is underatandable for a family room, but it felt like you were sleeping on plastic. The mattress wasn't that decent either, kinda thin and "so-so", nothing compared with a Premier Inn type mattress (to use that as the comparison). I'd say it does serve a purpose though and is good for family, business, last resort stays, but I could see anyone staying there for more than one night.
