Balbirnie House 2023 Haute Grandeur awards. Becomes Most Read news story via The National!

It has been absolutely incredible to see such amazing media coverage for the Balbirnie House 2023 Haute Grandeur awards. 

After more than 3 decades at Balbirnie House, I've certainly been having a very good think over recent weeks, about all of this accumulating history. 

It is very clearly the case now, that we can reflect on what has been a truly jaw-dropping history of providing the backdrop for a staggering amount of celebrations over the years. And that prompts the new thought, that actually, Balbirnie simply resonates now with that actual history. If only the walls could talk! Those who are visiting for celebrations today can perhaps sense what has transpired before within these very walls? 

I have actually started mentioning if ever appropriate to do so when I meet prospective future new wedding clients, which is NB always the most special part of my working week, that 'I think it is fair to say that per square foot Balbirnie House has partied harder, and celebrated more, than any other hotel in the land!' I don't think that can be disputed LOL. 

What is also so very true today as well however, that no matter what Balbirnie's brigade past and present has delivered with accumulated award history, we can only ever be judged on what we are delivering today, and every new day ahead. Our endeavors in hospitality continue, one very special day at a time. 

Our sincere thanks to Lauren Dall of Dall communications, for sending out the official 2023 press release.
