The owners were fabulous and so kind. This was my favorite stop on our trip. The breakfast was so delicious and came out so quickly. The property is beautiful and is so close to the Birks and the center of town you can walk everywhere. I will definitely return on my next trip to Aberfeldy.

Lovely little b&b with excellent location.
Lovely stay, excellent location, but just a little disappointed with shower head not being able to be set in fixed position and even having to interrupt shower having to redo the shower unit, but probably offset by lovely breakfast!

First-rate, family-run B&B, more like a small hotel with clean, well-appointed rooms and friendly owners and staff. The building has period features including wood panelling and high ceilings as well as an impressive staircase and it is tastefully and comfortably furnished throughout. We had a spotlessly clean and comfortable double room with a firm bed and shower room. There was also a large airy guest lounge bathed in natural light from a large bay window and an original fireplace. I enjoyed reading there and also guests are welcome to bring in their own drinks (glasses provided). There is a pleasant garden with plenty of seating and the protection of a large gazebo. Breakfast was definitely a highlight!

Our room was clean & comfortable. Mark & Claire were great host's and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was really great with a good choice, cereals, porridge, cooked breakfast etc. Would recommend this B & B as a central location to explore all the wonderful places that Scotland has to offer.

A beautiful wee B&B in the most beautiful part of the country. Friendly owners, immaculately clean and comfortable rooms, fantastic breakfast. Situated just a few minutes walk from the town centre, but in a quiet part of town, so there's no traffic noise. I've often said Aberfeldy and Kenmore are heaven on earth, and Balnearn House is the perfect base to explore it.

Bit of a GEM.
Had a great weekend recently at Aberfeldy. This is a excellent base for getting out and about in the area. Quick check in. Stayed in the Lyon room. Bed comfortable. Excellent shower ! Breakfast was brilliant. Thanks to Mark & Claire especially for going above and beyond for us. Hard working couple and wish you all the success you deserve. Don’t worry about wee Telly. It’s not that important. Would be back again if in the area. Great wee area. Enjoy !

Thoroughly recommended.
Extremely nice place to stay for a week and host Mark was very helpful and attentive. Breakfasts were great and especially liked the smoked salmon with scrambled egg on sourdough bread. Room was bigger than many B&Bs with a couple of easy chairs in the room too. Within walking distance of Birks of Aberfeldy.
