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.

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.
