COULD SCOTLAND DO THE UNTHINKABLE? NUMBER 1 IN THE WORLD?

We are most humbled to confirm that Balbirnie House is on shortlist for Number 1 in the world! The final results are to be determined by ratings from guests, and ratings from the hospitality sector. So, team Scotland, let’s go for it!

Please, a very special, and absolutely unique request for your input and assistance.

Could Scotland do the unthinkable? Could Scotland’s Hospitality sector achieve a previously unachieved worldwide feat? NB 7 continents, and 75 countries!!

We are delighted to confirm that Haute Grandeur global hotel awards, have once again placed Balbirnie House on annual shortlist, in the categories of ‘Best Destination Wedding Hotel’ & ‘Best Destination Wedding Retreat’.



Which means, there is only one further possibility, and that’s Number 1 worldwide. Specifically, we are informed by Haute Grandeur: ‘You are being considered currently on a country, continent AND global basis in these categories’.

This is because, in 2016 (Abu Dhabi host venue) and 2017 (Thailand host venue) Balbirnie House won the Haute Grandeur awards in both of the above categories, for the entire continent of Europe.

Over 3 decades since opening as a hotel, our brigade has strived every single day, to provide our absolute best of the best Hospitality, that’s with a Scottish capital H.

Continually flying those flags, for Scotland and Hospitality. 



Our combined efforts have brought some truly incredible results to Scotland, and the heart of The Kingdom of Fife. Balbirnie House is now the 12 time recipient of The Scottish Hotel Awards, ‘Wedding Hotel of the Year’, Scotland’s 2016 National Hotel of the Year, and previous defined winner in 4 Haute Grandeur categories, as Number 1 in Europe. These are for Best Destination Wedding Retreat, Best Destination Wedding Hotel, Best Function Venue Hotel, and Best Romantic Hotel.



Online supporters are now being asked in 2018 to support the judging process, by rating 5 categories. We hope that we have exceeded all of your expectations. The higher the ratings, the greater the chances.

Service, Facilities, Value For Money, Ambience, Location.

The 2018 awards take place in Dubai, on 1st November. If we make it through to the finals, we will of course let you know.

And in the event that we do get invited, for the third annual time, we will once again be so very proud to be able to represent Scotland’s Tourism and Hospitality sectors.

May the Force be with Us All.


On behalf of our brigade past and present,
Nicholas / MD Balbirnie
