Balvonie House: common questions

Details specific to this property, answered before you enquire.

Yes — the dining area seats 30, so a full group can sit down together. That matters for a group booking, because a house that sleeps a large party but cannot seat it together tends to split the group at mealtimes.

Does Balvonie House have a hot tub?
