My husband & I have been fairly frequent visitors to the Balbirnie Bistro, and both of us also use it a lot for work. We had reservations for a Saturday evening and were very much looking forward to it, however, after our experience, we will never be returning to this joke of a venue, and have withdrawn with immediate effect...

Friendly but professional staff. Large, comfortable, well decorated room - though the bed a bit on the soft side. And great food. Stayed with a Groupon deal which was incredible value for money as it included dinner bed and breakfast as well as wine and chocolates in the room. The food was the best bit of our stay. Great restaurant... More

My husband and I and two friends had an overnight at the beautiful Balbirnie House Hotel. The rooms were well equipped and homely feel about them. The grounds of the hotel are well kept and great for walking with a craft shop in the grounds too. The cream tea was delicious with scrummy homemade scone, cream and jam. We had... More

We booked rooms for ourselves and my parents-in-law for a couple of nights. Service was outstanding, the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The hotel itself is beautiful whether the public areas or the bedrooms. We enjoyed an enormous room with lovely en suite. Despite the room's size it was warm and cosy. Everywhere is scrupulously clean. We ate in... More

Was taken here as a surprise in Decemeber. I was immediately impressed by the surrounding and how stunning the building was. The staff were very helpful and a porter took us to our room. The rooms were very homely, clean and spacious. They had large, comfortable beds, flatscreen TVs etc. The food was absolutely amazing- great menu to choose from.The... More

My husband and I live in Edinburgh and when we started looking at wedding venues, never really imagined that we'd end up getting married in Fife - we started our search in the Borders and East Lothian. However, so many venues that we viewed either couldn't accommodate our numbers (110) or were just too over the top - we wanted... More

I stayed at the hotel for one night on a dinner, bed and breakfast rate. The hotel is beautiful. The best thing is definitely the staff that work here, they really do go out their way to make the experience special and individually bespoke to each guest. It is clearly within the culture of the hotel that all staff are... More
