Today's wedding was a joyous, colourful occasion, in keeping with its setting, Balbirnie House, which is a glorious hub of old-fashioned opulence, comfort, peerless service and top-notch food and drink. A special mention for Leah and Daniel who couldn't do enough for us - thank you.

Went for a wedding, i am sure they have lovely rooms. The location is stunning, the view of the place as you drive in is amazing. The service by the bar could have been better. They could have been more bartenders which would have eased the congestion by the bar. Overall its a beautiful place, staff is amazing and very helpful.

Nice location, room either hot or cold, no in-between had to use coffee cup to keep window open. No portering offered had to take cases up numerous stairs (no lift)not good when you're 71. Nice little money maker in the bar by only pouring doubles without telling you and then only taking card payments, bit dusty in some of the public areas.

Visited Balbirnie House to celebrate our daughter's birthday and try their Seven taster menu. We were looked after by a delightful young woman called Taylor and the food and service were both exceptional. We look forward to returning again soon.

Great location. Lovely woodland walk. Good food. Great service. Peaceful. Showers in the rooms are for short people. Poor quality toast at breakfast, but otherwise excellent. Huge, relaxing lounges.
