We've sampled afternoon tea here before, and it didn't disappoint yesterday. The sandwiches were heavenly. The scones still warm from the oven. The dainty cakes home made and too tempting! The hotel is lovely. It's set in its own grounds on the bank of the river Tay. It's a very special place and well worth a visit.

The service from the staff and attention to the little details is why the fine service is really special. The menu had us mouthing-watering and our meal was superb. As for the wine, Ballathie has an experienced sommelier.... More

I attended the wedding reception of my nephew Andrew Renwick and his lovely wife Dr Suzi Reid. I could not fault the efficient and attentive staff who kept the level of service high throughout the day and evening. The reception was in a large semi permanent marquee off the main building.
