After touring St Andrews, less than a 1/2 hour away, we found this great B&B. Beautifully remodeled old home with fabulous room and breakfast. Dundee is a perfect spot to take off from for either Aberdeen or the Highlands. Would stay again without hesitation.

A B&B not to be missed! Everything is of the highest quality, including the people who run it. It is a gracious home which has been beautifully restored, is meticulously maintained, very conveniently located, has stunning views, and is on a bus route [even though on-site parking is also available]. On top of all this, host Richie is not only... More

I have stayed at Balgowan House on 4 occassions for business trips and I have loved every minute of it. Richie is very friendly and such a brilliant host. He'll do anything for you, and he is always cheery and happy to help. The B&B is stunning, and the views over the gardens are amazing. It is always clean, tidy,... More

I would recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone looking for something a bit special. We had a large comfortable bedroom with private bathroom. The view from the bedroom window out across the botanic gardens and the river Tay was delightful. The welcome was warm and friendly.

Balgowan House is a high standard B&B. We stayed here for one night and thoroughly enjoyed the spacious and well decorated rooms. If you need accommodation in Dundee this is a great place to stay.

We stayed here for 1 night in September, lovely host , lovely room although a bit cold, the heating was on a timer so we had to use the portable electric heater. Room very clean and spacious . Breakfast was also very nice with a choice of continental or full Scottish. The black pudding was the best I have tasted.... More

My husband & I spent 2 nights of our honeymoon here. Even though the bathroom was not en-suite, we didn't have any issues with using it when we needed. Our room was very spacious and had lovely views of the River Tay & the gardens. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The choices for breakfast included cereal, toast as... More

Balgowan House is a lovingly restored, early 20th century house situated on a hill overlooking the river Tay. The stained glass windows throughout are beautiful and the furniture, fittings and decor match exquisitely. My very large and tastefully decorated bedroom at the front of the house overlooked Balgowan's own gardens, the University Botanic Gardens, the wide River Tay estuary and... More
