Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has some room for improvement with bathroom issues and faulty amenities, but the spacious rooms are impressive. The service is professional and multilingual despite being busy. The lovely location near Aberdeen offers a cozy atmosphere with log fires. The dining experience could use some refinement, and the facilities are decent.
The hotel offers a glorious stay with a large bay window and wooden tableaus at a great price. I loved the library, dining room with classical music, and the comfy bar with tasty treats.
The hotel offers glorious rooms with a large bay window and wooden tableaus, spacious, bright, and clean, overlooking a valley. The service is impeccable, with staff who know how to run functions smoothly and attentively cater to guests' needs. The location provides a cozy atmosphere with many log fires, attractive surroundings, and traditional charm, although there were minor disorganized moments in the restaurant. The dining experience, at times lukewarm and sparse, could be improved in terms of quality. Overall, the facilities are well-equipped and functional.
Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were appealing with some minor issues, and the service was top-notch. The location was a mix of convenience and awkwardness, and the dining experience had its highs and lows.
I felt cozy and welcomed by the warm atmosphere of log fires amidst mature conifer trees at this hotel. The rooms, although a bit smaller than expected, were well-equipped with comfy beds, providing good value for the money. The dining experience was decent, with the rare treat of cooked-to-order meals, but the prices were a bit on the higher side. The hotel's location in park grounds was peaceful and convenient to explore the nearby attractions, with the only inconvenience being the need to step out for certain items during breakfast.
The hotel is located conveniently just 5 minutes from the main A road, making it great after a long drive to Aberdeen. The rooms, although clean, could benefit from air conditioning. The breakfast was delightful, but the dining room needs some refreshing. The beautiful gardens surrounding the hotel were a highlight during our stay.
The hotel had spacious and beautifully appointed rooms, offering great comfort with a superkingsize bed and pleasant seating area. However, the cleanliness could have been better in some areas. The location was excellent with lovely surroundings, although specific details about the location were lacking. The dining experience was generally nice with a good variety, though some items were considered overpriced. Overall, the facilities were well-equipped to meet basic needs.
Staying at the hotel was perfect, with great facilities, very comfortable beds, good showers, and everything exceptionally clean. The high ceiling made it a bit hard to get warm despite the radiator and extra heater, but the library, dining room with classical music, and cozy bar with tasty treats were fantastic.
