My husband and I have just returned from a stay at Balbirnie. We were expecting a luxurious 4* weekend, unfortunately that is not what we got. The room we were given was tired & dated, the mattress was extremely uncomfortable & the room was very hot. We could not open the windows as we looked onto the kitchen and could... more

Everything about our experience was outstanding. We loved it - very romantic - take your partner there for a romantic break - so much better than other hotels offering romantic breaks in Scotland. We had a ball! more

I have visited this hidden gem for many years now and cannot speak highly enough of it. Every time we have visited this hotel we have been lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite-amazing. It is all the little touches-homemade sweets waiting for you, the lovely Molton Brown in the bathroom, the bathrobes. I have eaten in the Orangery... more

I visited Balbirnie House recently for a showround for a potential wedding venue and i can only say great things about it. We live in Cheshire so we stayed over the night before and from check in to check out the service was excellent. We ate down in the Bistro and the food was fantastic, and nothing was too much... more

Was dissapointed to arrive for a 2pm wedding and be advised that check in was not available until 2pm. This is their policy which I accept but it causes a problem when the wedding ceremony is at 2pm.

We our in our late 20s ealry 30s and stayed at this hotel for a friends wedding at the beginning of March 09. The hotel itself is beautiful however some of the public areas look like seating areas of a residential home, its all patterns and mis-matched furniture, I am all for mis-matched chic but this was not it. Also... more

From the minute I drove up to the hotel it looked fantastic!!! The Girls on reception showed the true personality of the hotels staff. All of the other staff were fantastic and cannot praise them enough!!! The rooms were fantastic. 5 star luxury! Food- Amazing! Best in Fife I would reccommend this hotel to anyone! more

While visiting Scotland with a friend, I was anxious that she would have the experience of different venues and localities. I have stayed at Balbirnie, but ,my last visit was 5 years ago. Balbirnie House is an exquisite Georgian Mansion. It is located 45 minutes from the airport in Edinburgh. I was hugely disappointed in the interior, as it needs... more
