Fabulous Wedding

Beautiful house and setting

Room fairly small - only a ‘double bed’

Beautiful place but buyer beware!

5.0

The location was lovely and park like, the building was beautiful, the staff was friendly and so helpful. Unfortunately, after we returned to the States we received three parking tickets for parking our car in the Balbirnie parking lot. We were told on arrival to register our car, but were not told that each time we left the property we needed to re-register the car upon our return. When we contacted Balbirnie House, they admitted that they’d had a problem with staff not informing guests of the need to continually re-register but there was nothing they could do about the penalties. Very unsatisfactory response and poor service!

The pillows were flat and hard

Herregårdsstil i grønne omgivelser

10.0

Der er en skøn afslappet stemning og meget venligt og hjælpsomt personale. stedet ligger i et stort grønt område som er værd og udforske, det indvendige er i flot stil. vi har der i en uge start, der var ikke så meget aktivitet men det passede os fint. bestemt et sted vi besøger en anden gang.

Der var intet og klage over.
