“Long-established country hotel in splendid surroundings. Elegant rooms feature traditional patterned wallpaper and some have free standing baths. Grand reception rooms with fireplaces are ideal for unwinding in after a day outdoors. Award winning Scottish cuisine. A lovely rural escape.”

Hotel review

This turreted mansion house, set on the banks of the majestic River Tay, is a veritable mecca for country sport aficionados. The exclusive Ballathie Beat offers exciting salmon and brown trout fishing while world-renowned game shooting takes place on the nearby Royal Estates of Scone Palace, Atholl and Glamis. Simple accommodation in the Sportsman’s Lodge complements the more luxurious bedrooms in the main hotel and Riverside Suites. Décor is heavily traditional, as is the service, but splendid food and glamorous comfort compensate to induce feelings of deep relaxation.
