17 of us showed up for dinner one night on the fly in June and they accommodated us all. Great dinner and great service.

Ballathie House Hotel

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.

Arrived at around 6 on Friday night, the drive up went ok although I'm sure the satnav screwed us as per usual. Annoyingly the onsite parking at the hotel was full, both front and back, after circling the place like parking space eating vultures we gave up and parked at a free car park along the road behind the Co-op. It didn't look all that secure but we had no problems, other than a wee walk to the hotel, which probably was similar in length to the walk to the back car park. The hotel is quite big and has lots of rooms on different levels even on the same floor. Potential difficulty for older people with heavy bags I suppose. The hotel was nice, not dated, but not new, the room was nice and clean if a little small, though it did have a fairly large T.V. The spa part lied and said it had a steam room, which it didn't but it did have a sauna. Some of the signs were misleading, like the one to the pool which we couldn't actually access, instead you had to go through the bar and then the ballroom. We breakfasted here twice and had dinner once. The food was good but the service was a little slow on two out the three occasions. All this moaning, then why a 4 star review I hear you ask? Simple, the staff, they were absolutely great really accommodating, helpful, friendly and cheerful, they really helped to make this a good experience. We also booked hot stone massages at late notice which and they were as accommodating as they could be in this respect. If I was up this way I would be happy to come here again, however, had the staff not been so great then it was probably more of a 3 star kinda place.

Rather bizarrely located in Perth Aerodrome, this is great budget accommodation just north of…read moreScone. But although the price is low, the standard of lodging is actually rather good. I would rate it as similar to or even a bit better than Travelodge. Rooms are all en-suite and well-appointed, the beds are comfortable too. There is a good-size television, a couple of comfy armchairs, a hair-dryer, wardrobe, free Wi-Fi and of course tea and coffee-making facilities. The bathroom has a bath and a good hot shower, and everything is in good condition throughout. The breakfast is actually served in a different building, and is a DIY Continental buffet affair with toast, croissants, scones, cereal etc. But it's fine and you can eat as much as you want. If you're looking for budget accommodation in Scone, you are basically limited to either the selection of B&B's on the way out of Perth (of which there are many), or go past Scone a similar distance in the other direction and stay at the Skylodge. I think for the price, this place is hard to beat.

Situated in a RAF airfield & home to small planes & pilots alike, the buildings are more like a barracks w/ thinnish walls, basic metal frame single beds & stripped down bathroom..... but that doesn't mean we were roughing it by any means It provided a warm refuge from the rain, the beds were comfy, the neighbors were quiet ( I think we all appreciated each other's situation ) TV with full channel lineup - including ITV3 (my fav British Mystery channel!) and FREE WiFi! Best part was discovering the multitude of adorable bunnies romping & frolicking & running all about, chasing each other - just adorable! Happy discovery!

But outside on a nice day is perfect. I grabbed a spot with my son who just loved the sunny sky, cool breeze and watching the water flow down the stream underneath.

My son got the burger and my partner got the steak pie, which was out of this world. We had steak pie in Edinburgh, but this one was so much better in quality.

The accommodations are comfortable and the food is good, but the house made ales and atmosphere are how they earn their 4th and 5th star in my book.

The restaurant has a nice ambiance with two wood fireplaces going. The squash soup was really good (well spiced). The braised onion soup was also very good. I'd also recommend the 'Haggis, Neeps & Tatties' (Haggis, mashed potatoes and mashed turnips) all with a nice gravy. We've never had Haggis before and all enjoyed it. It's like a peppered meat loaf. I like that they have flights of beer available, so you can try 3 different local brews from tap at one time. We also had the 'bread & butter pudding' which was satisfactory (not great but good). We loved the open fire smell. All was moderately priced.

We also chose it because it had decent reviews, was one of only a few restaurants in the area, and the pictures of the food looked good. We arrived around 7:45 PM, an hour before closing, but didn't have a reservation. Although we are accustomed to places that are full and completely understand if no seating is available, this Sunday evening was exceptional. A hostess greeted us and asked if we had a reservation. We said that we did not and she promptly stated that they were completely booked and that there was no room for us without a reservation. I asked if we could simply attend the bar for a drink instead and she again shut me down by saying "No, we're fully booked." Generally, I'm accustomed to a bit of politeness. Perhaps apologizing or offering to make a reservation for me on another night may have been nicer. Alternatively, why not let us at least have a drink at the bar? I think what put us off was the stern tone and shortness that the hostess took with us. Her quick ability to deny us twice in a matter of seconds was surprising. We wouldn't recommend going here without a reservation. Instead we had to travel 9.4 miles to Pitlochry and enjoy Victorias Restaurant instead as no other restaurants were open in this area at that time. Victorias turned out to be quite good and we would definitely recommend going there instead of this Inn on the Tay. We also post more reviews on our EatWanderExplore travel blog.

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.
