I stayed overnight at Balgowan House prior to an interview nearby in the morning, and was very impressed with my room and the quality of the service. I only wish I was staying longer for a holiday! The room was spacious, peaceful and well furnished, with a remarkable view over the botanic gardens and the Tay. The owner was very... More

My partner and I stayed at Balgowan house over the easter weekend on a last minute, spur of the moment decision. We were actually surprised to get in to Balgown house given its great reviews on TA. The booking process was quite simple but there was one confusion (mostly for me). It says that it takes half the rate as... More

The house has been lovingly restored and is delightfully situated on Perth Rd, a street where the old jute barons of yesteryear built their mansions. It is a pleasant twenty... More
