Taypark House

Fabulous lunch today at one of our favourites - The Taypark. The menu had changed since our last visit but we were not disappointed as it included a lovely range of new and old favourites. We both enjoyed delicious starters - Pork terrine and Arbroath Smokie fish cake - both very tasty and beautifully presented. Mains were equally delicious - huge portions to fill even the hungriest appetite. As usual the food was high quality ingredients, cooked and presented well. Delicious taste combinations. |Service was as always excellent- friendly and welcoming.

Our family group stayed this weekend in the Turret room, the Garden room, and the family room. All rooms were gorgeous, lovely bed linens, towelling bathrobes and biscuits, fresh water, teas and coffee making in the room. The gardens are lovely with an outdoor bar, and outdoor eating pods! The view from the Turret room was amazing! We loved sitting in the room with the family as it had a leather sofa and comfortable seating. The gin bar downstairs was welcoming and we had lovely coffees there also. The staff were super helpful and could not go out of their way enough for us. We had 2 delicious breakfasts during our stay. The lunch and dinner looked good too though so when we stay again we will definitely enjoy more food there or maybe afternoon tea!! Can’t wait to return to this very special place ❤️

Did not stay here but used the restaurant. This was our first visit to Taypark having been recommended to visit. This first time dining here proved a real success and one that must be repeated. Whilst we have visited Dundee many times we did not know of this gem which is located close to the city but in a country setting. The first thing that struck us was the building itself set within beautiful gardens and having enticing lit and heated pods for enjoying drinking and dining ‘outside’. Something to try on a future visit. We were shown into the restaurant by a polite, professional and welcoming young man called Arran. He was the main person looking after us and he helped make our first visit very special. The dining room is well presented overlooking the gardens. Within an hour of us arriving it was very busy making the ambiance something special. A surprisingly diverse menu to choose from with the cuisine presented being simply delicious. We left planning to return to sample other dishes on the menu. So a really excellent evening with thanks to Arran and other team members for making our first visit definitely not our last.

We hired the Taypark for our Wedding and comfortably fit our 71 guests. Everything was included, with no hidden fees. We're based in Edinburgh and had plenty of opportunities to meet Mona our co-ordinator in person but the majority of the arrangements were made via email which was incredibly helpful. Mona coordinated everything on the day, from making sure the right music was played to setting up the tables exactly how I'd envisioned. Mona did a brilliant job, consistently giving us the opportunity to see what had been set up before the guests. The food for the wedding breakfast, canapés, and evening buffet was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. We would recommend having your wedding at the Taypark, you'll be well taken care of and will have memories to last a lifetime

The building, location, and staff were all excellent.||However, for value for money the "champagne afternoon tea" was abysmal. £40 gets you (per person, serving two) : 1/4 of each sandwich (one quarter): egg mayo, tuna mayo, ham and tomato, cheese and chutney. One small sausage roll, cut into 2 (tasty, but the only warm savoury element in the whole meal), 2 scones, and 3 small bites of cake. Plus one glass of champagne. ||I expected so much more for £40, they quite clearly rely on people buying this as a gift for relatives, you'd never pay £40 for one sandwich, half a sausage roll, two scones, one glass of champagne and a few mouthfuls of cake otherwise.

We have a family wedding there and we could not fault the staff for there professionalism. They were a young team,but nothing was too much trouble. Service was impeccable and the food was of the highest standard. The wedding went off with out a hitch. Only 1 criticism would be that there was not a lift or stair lift to get our elderly aunt up to the room the ceremony was held in. But great day had by all.

We visit quite frequently and find it a great place to meet and have a coffee an snack. Surroundings are beautiful. Have not stayed so cannot comment on the rooms but I can only imagine them to be of a great quality, it is a cute boutique hotel. Thay also do lovely meals if you fancy it. Wood highly recommend 😊

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.

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.
