We had to drive around and around, but we found it…read more When we arrived, we thought the back of the hotel facing the water was the front. We made someone run inside and were told the right way to get to reception. They have a place to park our huge van, but we had to wait for people to leave so that we could fit. In the end, reception told us to just leave it on the street since her car was there. We were only going to be here one night. Not even a whole day, just one night. The hotel is older without an elevator. The rooms are decorated really cute with a little canopy over our comfy bed. The room is average size. I like reading the hotel book to tell me a little about the place. Our view is a wall, but I wasn't looking out our window anyhow since there was so much to do. We went to the lobby and ordered a coffee and a beer. The shortbread cookies that came with my coffee were so nice... prime example of a good cookie. My husband was offered a taste of beer just to make sure he really wanted it. They had San Miguel on tap, which seemed weird to me. After our friends were all settled, we went out for dinner. When we came back, we sat around using the free wifi and then went to bed. In the morning, we were the last ones to breakfast. FULL SCOTTISH PLEASE! There was an assortment of cereal and canned fruit at the door, along with pots of coffee. Yummy yummy. Breakfast was great and didn't taste like free at all. You know how sometimes places include breakfast and they are gross... not here. I would stay here again. The location is beautiful with quick access to the river. We were within walking distance of a restaurant and a Tesco... it was great.

The secluded Country House and grounds are beautiful…read more On offer in the restaurant, was a prix fixe (UKP 65) three course dinner, plus an amuse bouche. 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.

This was my first time staying in a UK hotel. It was a unique experience…read more The first thing I noticed was how much like a cruise cabin this reminded me of. From the putting the key card into the power slot to the compact bathroom (With the REALLY big tub) to the lay out of the room, it was all reminiscent of a cruse ship cabin. And that was so different to a US hotel room, and not in a bad way. The bed was large and comfortable, the pillows were plentiful, the tv was nice. The water was hot. the kettle was great. I love that it was a kettle vs a coffee maker! What they did really differently? No small sized shampoo and conditioner, no individual soap. It's a pump container on the wall in the shower of shower gel that is both shampoo and body wash. And a pump beside the sink that is for the face and hands. It smells very masculine to my nose and I'm just a touch allergic to it. This location is RIGHT next door to the Perth Theatre, and made an excellent destination for us after watching the show. I'm glad we were able to secure one of the parking spots behind the hotel at 5 pounds per night.

We really enjoyed our stay there - good-sized rooms, friendly staff and very conveniently located. The building itself is very nice, too - the dining room is particularly impressive. Breakfast was ok, but not exceptional. (I cannot comment on the restaurant as we had dinner elsewhere). Do check booking.com or similar sites - we got the room for about half the regular fare (we paid around £69 for the double). There is a public car park just around the corner (pay & display). Overall, I can really recommend this hotel!

We had a good laugh...settled our son into the bunk, and then did our best Lucy and Ricky good night kiss as we turned into our separate beds! Check-in was easy and very personal; it was like we were friends that they were waiting for. They asked if we wanted a newspaper in the morning; and told us about the included breakfast. She also did a good job of explaining the parking option, which was helpful (it's a public lot that charges after 9am...but she explained that if we paid that night it would roll over to the morning and we wouldn't have to go down and pay in the am). The room was clean and had all the things you expect in an old hotel (creaky floors, etc.). We had an issue with the hot water in the bathroom for showers, but not enough to ruin our stay. My favorite part was the coffee/tea set up in the room, complete with some Walkers Shortbread Cookies. Yummy! Breakfast was so great. It's served in their dining room, proper service with linens. Food is served buffet style and had a good variety including some tradition Scottish fare like haggis and black pudding (blood sausage). All in all it was a great stop on our Scotland experience.

Besides that, beautiful rooms, scenery, and food. My favorite part was the breakfast buffet. I had the best smoked salmon I've ever had.
