Balvaird - Perth Kinross

After driving past the Bein Inn several times, we finally decided to make a reservation at the restaurant. We were given the option to dine in the main restaurant or the lounge bar, and we chose the restaurant. Upon entering the Bein Inn, we were warmly greeted by the receptionist. Despite wanting to cozy up by the fire, our hunger led us to our table. We chose a window seat, which also happened to be near a radiator, keeping us nice and warm. The menu was filled with hearty, homely dishes that were just what we were craving. The portions were generous, as the waitress had warned us when we considered ordering a side dish. Taking her advice was a good call, as every dish from the chicken liver pate to the slow roasted lamb shank brought a smile to our faces. The wine list was surprisingly diverse, with options that complemented the food and catered to various tastes. The service was excellent, with the waitress and owner being friendly and accommodating. After our meal, we moved to the lounge bar with the remaining wine and enjoyed our after-dinner coffees at our leisure. The staff seamlessly accommodated our change of seating. The bill was fair and reflected the value of the hearty meal and exceptional service. We were tempted to book a room and stay for the evening!

Having driven from Inverness we often pass this hotel, last time we ate here it was disappointing so second time lucky no ! Ordered cod got haddock and that was disappointing and as for the accompanying tartare sauce inedible.Staff did offer to replace it but it looked OK wrong move. My wife had the steak pie mediocre sorry but it will be a while before we try again/

We have booked a table in the last minute, the staff could not come forward anymore. in the selection from the menu the waiter had good advice to offer and his preferences on what to have. eating came fast and was excellent. our entire experience was very pleasant and we look forward to the return to the future.

Great place to stay Colin and all the staff can't do enough. The hotel is nicely equipped to accommodate any guests. The food is excellent. The rooms are very clean and tidy very comfortable bed.Easy to find great value for money well worth a visit. We will be looking forward to seeing you all again next year.

We went in for our tea on the opening night and every part of our experience was fantastic from the food to the service. Will definitely return
