Stayed at Balgownie Estate and really enjoyed the experience. The location is beautiful and very relaxing, making it a great place for a short getaway. The service throughout the stay was excellent, with friendly and welcoming staff who made everything easy. The restaurant was a highlight — both dinner and breakfast were very good and well worth trying. Overall the stay was reasonably priced for the quality of the accommodation and the setting. The only downside was that the pool area is currently closed while it is being repaired or replaced, which would have been nice to use. Aside from that, it was a very enjoyable stay and I would happily visit again.
