Taypark House

Lovely property that has sadly lost its shine, compared to the photos on booking.com. That said, while the food is a bit on the pricy side, it is very nice, and this is probably where we have had the best haggis so far, on our Scottish tour. Some of the fixtures and fittings need a good sand or clean, and the housing staff need to be talked to, on standards, as we found one false eye lash, 1 hair pin and other bits lying around in the bathroom and bedroom. The duvet had a tear in it, and the bathroom was showing signs of mold in one corner.

Hidden gem! Had a Sunday lunch here and myself and my sister enjoyed our Sunday roast (Lamb), everything was delightful and tasty. Service was fast and the server's were lovely and made sure we had everything we needed.

This is a lovely hotel with beautiful rooms and lovely breakfast. The welcome was lovely. The only thing that let it down was housekeeping. The banisters (particularly the one to the second floor were really grubby and the room needed some atttention. The bed was very clean and comfortable, as was the bathroom but the side of the wardrobe the light fittings and the standing mirror needed dusting All in all it was a good experience but I am hoping the owner keeps on top of thehousekeeping staff in future. Also I had a lovely espresso machine but no teaspoons

Beautiful property but very disappointing stay Taypark House truly is a stunning property — elegant, grand, and straight out of a fairytale. The beautiful country-style house, lovely gardens, and tasteful interiors instantly impressed us upon arrival. Our room was spacious, clean, and charming — everything we had hoped for. Unfortunately, our stay was heavily overshadowed by a private event happening on the night of our visit. I did receive an email beforehand stating there "may be some disturbance until 11:30 PM" — but what we experienced was far beyond a mild disturbance. It was a full-blown nightclub experience directly beneath our room, with loud music and shouting that went on until midnight, followed by the noise of staff cleaning up long after. The hotel bar was completely packed with party guests, making it impossible for us to even relax or enjoy a drink after a long day of driving. The most concerning part was that party-goers accidentally entered our room — completely unacceptable for any hotel, let alone one of this caliber. My son struggled to fall asleep with all the noise and chaos happening around us, making it a very stressful night. When I raised my concerns the next morning, I was simply reminded that they had "sent an email" — as if that excused the experience. Was I supposed to cancel my long-planned reservation because of a party I had no control over? Very disappointing customer service for such an otherwise beautiful property. Taypark House has so much potential, but sadly, they fell short on providing a peaceful, relaxing stay for their guests. I sincerely hope management considers improving how they handle private events alongside regular hotel guests in the future.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolute ball at Taypark House yesterday evening! Everything was superb from start to finish. The meals were delicious, service was speedy and perfectly timed, and the manager and team couldn’t have been more helpful – nothing was too much trouble. The grounds are absolutely stunning and offered plenty of space for ceilidh dancing with a live band, which really made the evening feel special. We’d definitely love to come back again and would wholeheartedly recommend Taypark House to anyone planning a celebration. Thank you for a wonderful night!

This is a beautifully restored baronial house on the edge of Dundee. The hotel has a range of lovely quirky rooms, we stayed in a huge family room at the top of the house, with a wonderful bathroom. We ate both dinner and breakfast which were great but the highlight was the incredible desserts at dinner.|It’s a lovely quirky hotel with very friendly staff.

We photographed a wedding at Taypark House last October, and it was such a joy. The venue’s mix of historic charm and modern style creates such a warm, relaxed atmosphere. The gardens in autumn were absolutely beautiful. Full of rich colour and just perfect for photos. The views over the River Tay and the nearby Botanic Gardens added even more magic to the day. The staff were so helpful and made everything run smoothly for the couple and for us as photographers. We’re excited to be coming back to photograph another wedding here this August and we honestly can’t wait!

We booked Taypark House for a milestone birthday celebration on the recommendation of friends. One night’s dinner, B&B, or so we thought…..|Last week, I received an email from the hotel asking for confirmation that we were planning to have dinner on Monday evening, as they were trying to book a routine sprinkler system and gas safety check to fit around their guests. I replied in the affirmative and asked for a table for 7.30 pm. There was no reply from the hotel, but I wasn’t specially concerned. Roll on yesterday and our check in at 4.30 pm, when we were told that the hotel was not, in fact, serving meals in the evening. I pointed out that I had replied to their message last week and had had nothing back, but the young man on reception (James) didn’t seem to know anything about any correspondence. He also didn’t appear to know that we had booked for a special occasion, although this was made quite clear when the reservation was made - no chance of a free glass of fizz, or even a little card saying ‘Happy Birthday! As we don’t know Dundee very well, we asked James where he could recommend for a special meal on a Monday evening(!) and he suggested an Italian restaurant in the city centre. My husband asked if the hotel would be prepared to cover the cost of a taxi there and back and that was agreed. In the event, we got 2 complimentary drinks, taxis fares and enough money to cover a bottle of wine with our meal. The Italian restaurant (Don Michele) was very good, and we both enjoyed our meal, but sitting next to a family with 3 young children and a baby in a high chair wasn’t exactly the ambience I was hoping for for my special birthday meal (and our wedding anniversary)!|All of that apart, the hotel could potentially be very nice. I was a bit concerned, having seen several people writing reviews citing cleanliness as a major issue. We certainly didn’t find that: our room was lovely, the bathroom was huge (and very clean) and had a great shower, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The whole building, however, was freezing, including the dining room at breakfast this morning - people were having breakfast with jackets on! There was a strange, dispirited atmosphere about the place, and the public areas looked a bit tired.|We were really disappointed by the whole experience, and wouldn’t be inclined to go back. To give credit where it’s due, James did his best in a bad situation, and although we were both extremely annoyed, we appreciated that it wasn’t his fault.

I didn't know this was what Dundee needed, but it is. I came here with my sister-in-law for brunch and totally fell in love with it. It's a boutique hotel which I imagine is great to stay in. They also keep pretty busy serving breakfast, lunch and dinner to Dundonians. It's a beautiful example of the Scottish baronial style with a sympathetic update by the current owners. The ceilings inside are stunning, with roses all around the edges. I would love to wake up to that! The gardens are small but very attractive and quiet as the house is set back from the main road down a posh drive (with a groundsman raking the gravel at the end!). The outdoor seating looked lovely but too sunny for my ginger tinted sister-in-law. I had Eggs Benedict which was really tasty and I enjoyed every mouthful. It came in at a reasonable £5.50. My sister-in-law had a pain au chocolat with a white coffee, both of which she enjoyed. The lunch and dinner menus also looked very tempting. I liked the local suppliers map on the front. The dining room is decorated charmingly with floating teapots, an old set of scales for the tips and cute wallpaper with trees. The only thing I didn't love was 2 carefully distressed wooden boards with twee statements about hearts and home, I don't get why these are so popular right now! The service was very friendly and welcoming. Payment is at the door of the dining room, for brunch anyway. There's a drawing room with a bar across the way but sadly it was too early to sample from the Scottish gin menu. There's another rustic looking gin bar outside too which I'm sure would be lovely in the evening. In fact this would be the perfect place for a small wedding and I think I saw a small wedding bower outside, it was laid on the grass though. Another thing I liked was the vegetable vending machine outside with strawberries for £2 and a dozen eggs for £1.10. Potatoes and greens also spotted. I've never seen one of these before so I was intrigued. Anyway I loved it. I'll go back everytime I'm in Dundee hopefully.

The property is beautiful, nicely restored, and clean. Staff is welcoming, very helpful and professional. The beds are very comfortable; the evening was quiet. Grounds are beautiful. Breakfast was tasty and fresh. Room rates were very reasonable.
