I was at the orangey on the 4th December for the 7 course taster menu. I had reason to contact balbunie house regarding my visit, I got no reply to phone calls, so I have since e mailed and I'm.still awaiting a reply. I disappointed that I have waited this long for a response.

Enjoyed food and service. Bit mystified though why music is played in the Bistro. With all the hard stone surfaces and guests speaking, laughing all the music can hardly be heard and becomes a nuisance. Abandon the music, just not needed and a real nuisance for hearing impaired guests

Attended for a wedding, beautiful house, stunning venue; everything seemed to run smoothly. Helpful staff, decent gluten free menu. During the wedding the staff were aware whom had dietary issues and it was handled discretely which I appreciated Was even brought down for the meal first as a wheelchair user and places were swapped when it was noted that my wheelchair was right at a table leg. The single issue we had was the room service food. I had mussels and chips and my partner had roulade. Unfortunately with the exception of the chips the food was cold. We were also missing a drink of the order

Wonderful 7 course tasting menu. Food was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. But they really need to get their billing sorted out. 2 visits and inaccuracies both times.

Menu was rather poor with not great amount of choices. Food was good and service was quick.
Downside was the Bistro is very noisy if full. There was a problem with our bill,fault with the card reader and I was charged twice. I took until next day to get my money refunded with only a few apologies. Not what I would expect from this type of establishment.
