Best Western Balgeddie House Hotel

Myself & my husband went for a wee night away to celebrate our wedding anniversary. He booked Balgeddie as it was close to home & also the amenities were quite good. On our arrival we were welcomed by a very pleasant & helpful receptionist. The reception area was lovely. Everything was clearly explained to us. We headed to our room which was 210, the room is where it loses marks for me, the room itself is what I can only describe as a cheap looking b&b in Blackpool, very old & very dated. The carpet & Lino in the bathroom, along with the bathroom suite and furniture haven't been replaced for years! However, credit were credit is due, it was clean, massive bathroom and massive bed. Tea/coffee making facilities, hairdryer and ironing board. We went to the spa and swimming pool and the changing area was nice, and we had a good time there. We ate a light lunch and then later on for an evening meal, the food was really good. Best steak pie I've had in a long time! The staff at the bar & restaurant were very attentive and all reasonably priced. In fact, I cannot fault any staff member as they were all nice & lovely and more than willing to help. All in all, it was a very good stay, very relaxed but I really feel that if they done some refurbishment to the rooms, this would make me give this a 5 star rating. I've stayed in best western before, namely the keavil house and the rooms were so much better, also I believe the owners also manage the Pitbauchlie House hotel which is 5 minutes from where I live and I regularly go there for something to eat & drink and it's lovely in there so definitely time to invest more in the rooms and update slightly even if wish to keeping in the theme of the hotel like the others have done. less

We stopped here for three nights. What a mistake. On arrival we are allocated a room that we rejected. Staff resolved this but told me it was a complimentary upgrade yet I was actually preparing to leave so they would have lost the income, so why try to make me feel grateful. In the restaurant when I requested a wine list it was flicked onto the table with a " here you go". We did not order a bottle. The food or should I say my food was ok but my wife's Lasagne looked like orange sick like a dish she had never seen before. Rejected and offered another choice which she accepted. The food prices and quality are a mismatch as are the wine list prices compared to the food. Breakfast at £11.95 is unreal. You would be better at a local supermarket. Luckily we had an inclusive rate or we would be at the supermarket or local cafe. This is not one of our better choices and we will not repeat it at this hotel. Potential to be fantastic, long way to go. less

My wife and I stayed overnight at this hotel on our weekend away in Fife ,we had a lovely time visiting all the surrounding attractions which are many including St. Andrews but the highlight was this pleasant hotel with lovely staff who were all very helpful ,the room was spacious very clean and the bed enormous and comfortable although I could have done with a bigger tv but that's just me getting old and my eye site is not the best ,the restaurant was good and I could not finish my venison steaks as it was too much so yes I would recommend this hotel and I imagine it would be excellent for weddings less

Stayed for a lovely weekend and couldn't recommend this hotel more highly. The staff were exceptional and so friendly and helpful. The room we had overlooked the lovely garden at the back, so peaceful. Family and dog friendly with a lovely restaurant and delicious food. We used the swimming pool and spa, well equipped changing area, high spec. If you are looking for a great place to stay for a get away in the beautiful Kingdom of Fife, you won't be disappointed with this gem. Plenty to do and see in the surrounding area. less

Lovely mix of period features with all mod cons. Our room was a delux room which was spacious and very comfortable. Lovely views over the garden. Dinner was lovely and quite reasonably priced. I enjoyed the pool but wish I had taken gym kit as there were classes I could have attended free of charge. Lovely place. less
