We had a nice stay at Balgownie. We were treated to a complementary wine tasting, the grounds were very nice, the breakfast was excellent and the room (admittedly, we chose the “standard” room) was adequate. The gym was untidy, the AC didn’t work in the gym (nor did the Wi-Fi) and it’s a small gym/pool area. It’s a nice location for exploring the area.

The most perfect place to relax! I was very happy with my 2 night stay. Staff are friendly, the room was clean (with a great shower) and very spacious, and the balcony was great to have a wine in the sun. The free wine tasting in the afternoon was also a nice little bonus (Jenny is soo fun). My only real issue is the pool/gym area is quite small but thankfully wasn’t busy, and the car park gets full. The restaurant on site was a great vibe and excellent food (bit pricey but the Wagyu was worth it). I would happily stay again!

Booked 10 days before New Years Eve and discussed at length the options for dining given there was a function on that night. The function was booked out so we booked in the restaurant only to be told at lunch time on NYE that the restaurant wouldn’t be serving dinner that night and the only option was to eat in our room. Given the short notice we could not book anywhere else. Very untidy around the property grounds. Maintenance has not been kept up. Has deteriorated considerably since our previous stay.
