I can't comment on the rooms as we had lunch, the egg and cress sandwich was so good, just the right amount of mayo. The location of Balathie House is so beautiful and the views are breath taking on the river. Staff were great and the service was top, thank you.

A stunning country house hotel. The grounds are amazing with various walks along the river and through the trees. The dinner was outstanding, staff were very helpful and were discreet but available. Breakfast was also delicious with hot and cold buffet options available. There is a bar and lounge/drawing room where you can have drinks as well as the large dining room with views across the lawns to the river.
There are a large number is established trees in the grounds which adds to the atmosphere. If you want a quiet room with views of the river choose the Riverside rooms in a separate building a couple of minutes walk along from the main hotel. Each room has an outside seating area either on a little patio or balcony. Perfect for enjoying the view. Will definitely visit again!

My wife and myself were at Balathie house for afternoon tea on Sunday the 15th of May. The sandwiches and cakes were absolutely splendid as was the service. Each item was explained to us by the very knowledgeable gent who served us. All in all good value for money.
