As a solo female traveler, I opted for this beautiful hotel in Glenrothes. It was centrally located to all things on my itinerary, and was very affordable for my, almost, two week stay! The hotel staff was the most welcoming staff I have ever witnessed, and it truly made all of the difference for my first big trip! The hotel has an option for continental breakfast, or you can request a full Scottish breakfast cooked as well! They have a restaurant right downstairs, and a bar to accompany that for after your long day of adventures! The venison Escalope quickly became my favorite meal. The rooms are clean, nicely ventilated, and have beautiful rural views- including the option for a Garden-view room. Within 10 minutes of Falkland, and less than an hour drive from Edinburgh; this hotel is perfect for solo travelers, families, or groups with a long stay. I truly felt at home at the Balgeddie, and would recommend it time and time again. I cannot wait to come back to book another stay! Slainte!

The young lady on reception was very helpful, and gave us all the information before I even asked the questions, then when I complimented her she said “thank you, I’ve only been here a few weeks”! Well keep her on………
Sadly we thought breakfast was until 11 am, but it finished at 10 am, that’s our fault for not paying attention. That’s our first stay but it won’t be our last. It’s not budget price hotel, but your getting g more than excellent in all fields for a few pounds more.

The staff were lovely and very helpful.
The room was spacious. My only issues

were, the lighting in the en-suite was very dull, especially for making sure that you had taken all your makeup off, never mind trying to put it on. Both push buttons for the toilet were exceedingly stiff. I had to use both hands to try and push the button enough for it to flush.
My only other quibble and the staff could do nothing about that, was the inconsiderate guests, going into their rooms at half two and half three in the morning. Banging the doors and talking loudly.

We travelled up this last week for another family funeral. The building and grounds itself are still lovely but we feel that attention to detail has diminished somewhat . After a 6 and a half hour drive I wanted to have a shower before meeting up with other family members. On getting into the shower I realised that one of the 2 lights in the bathroom did not work making it quite difficult to see what I was doing . My husband reported this the early the following morning and in fairness it was fixed quickly a couple of hours later while we were at the funeral. However on returning to our room around 4pm post the wake held in the function suite we found that despite having hung the “ please make up the room” sign on the door at 7.30am that morning our room had not been touched. On reporting this to reception a manager was dispatched to our room, he asked what we wanted him to do. We aren’t precious about making our own bed or having the bin emptied etc but we did need our towels replacing which he did do. This doesn’t excuse the fact that our room was initially ignored though and on an emotionally difficult day we could have done without it.
I also mentioned to said manager that I had tried to use the ironing board that morning only to find that the cover did not fit the board lengthways and was not attached properly making it difficult to iron the items needed without the cover rucking up. I could go on but there aren’t enough characters left to do so. We won’t be returning

Nice clean rooms. Breakfast was great. Nice grounds. Staff were lovely. Didn’t get a chance to use the pool.

Not many negatives, but our room kept stopped working 3 times, in a 1 night stay. I had to nip out to the car, and ended up not being able to get back in to the building. Also, when others are entering the building (was a separate building with just bedrooms) the doors rattle really badly. My daughter kept thinking someone was trying to get in the room.

The room was very spacious and had everything you required eg. Tea and coffee machine facilities, iron and ironing board, toiletries and plenty of storage. The bar had a great selection of drinks. The breakfast facilities were excellent they had a buffet for cereals, pastures, toast and fruit. Hot breakfast was served by staff. The staff in all areas of the hotel were all very pleasant and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I would certainly recommend a stay at this hotel.

Location was lovely, the house is historic and a lovely garden that we looked out over from our room. Breakfast and dinner were very good and dining service good too. Just a note to others no room service unless you hang out the door card which they don’t tell you about so we went without any room service for our whole 3 night stay. Our bathroom cold tap wasn’t working but shower was good. Loud noises occurred from 2-5am each night, never got to the bottom of cause, sounded like furniture being moved or loud heating-water pipes? But when this wasn’t gong on it was peaceful. Overall it was a great location with some shops nearby for supplies and would stay again.

Staff genuinely friendly, polite and are always happy to be helpful, even above and beyond the call of duty. That coupled with the well kept and gorgeous building and surrounding land, made my stay perfect.

The atmosphere and ambiance of the hotel itself, and then the back drop of a beautiful sky and horizon, and the woodlands surrounding, it’s just the perfect place to quickly, but with slow luxury, be able to unwind and recharge at the same time.

Rooms always spotless, the pool is fabulous. Always great food in the evenings, with a great variety of tasty dishes. Lovely aesthetic bar with a good selection.

Beautiful garden dining and drinks area that spills out onto the larger garden area which naturally leads into the woodlands. A spectacle of nature at night.

Solid breakfast options. Great parking facilities. Safe surroundings. The staff. The staff. The staff. Consistently doing their job of making you feel like you’re at home, and like you’re a valued part of the family.

Bright lights coming on outside during the night and shining in the windows and under the doors of the family room area. As well as noise from equipment. Children were constantly being awakened.
Hotel knew how many breakfasts were booked under the same same name, yet when we showed up in the morning we were treated like an inconvenience. Staff did not want to even give us a butter knife for toast already on the kids place until they were ready to set the table. We were told the toast to accompany our full breakfast was being prepared in the kitchen, but it never arrived. Bar staff were slow and made errors.
The staff requires training to better focus on the guests and the experience. This is such a beautiful location. Best Western needs to improve the outside housekeeping. Looks likes plant pots full of dead plants all around the property.
Having a pool was a draw to us booking this location, but it closes at 6pm and so the last swim time is 5:15. I suggest 9pm would be more appropriate.
We travel a lot and this is the first time I have ever given such negative comments on Expedia. This is such a beautiful location and it wouldn’t take much to make this a superior experience. Best Western needs to improve the management by investing in training and looking at things through the eyes of the guests. It’s not complicated.

So if you book a specific room and prepay then it would be reasonable to expect that room! Oh no if you check in late you get what's left!
Staff are Clueless, no idea how to run an hotel.
Room not cleaned and serviced everyday, even the most basic of things neglected.
This could be such a nice hotel, it's in a beautiful place, but it's so badly run by incompetent staff
The only up point is the kitchen staff know what they are doing and make excellent food.
Get a decent manager and staff and this could be a gem.
