AWARDS & ACCOLADES

  • AA 4 Stars – The AA previously awarded us four red AA stars from 1995 every year for 17 years, signifying Balbirnie as one of the top 200 hotels in the UK. .Due to changes in the industry and the power of website marketing / Facebook etc, we have now decided to withdraw Balbirnie from the AA guide scheme and are no longer part of the AA, but we remain part of the Visit Scotland award scheme with 4 stars.
