Lovely work trip
Ola from the bar and restaurant was amazing
Beautiful setting
Shame about the swimming lessons in the pool, not quite as peaceful as intended
Rooms were very clean, bed was really comfy and shower was fab. There were a few obvious larger stain on the carpet, however the overall cleanliness was high. Staff were helpful and there was onsite carparkinh with no additional cost which is rare on the locality area.
I stayed here with my daughter. We had afternoon tea. Nails done at the spa. Our room was lovely. We used the leisure facilities.
Breakfast was brilliant so much selection. Highly recommend
Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. All members of staff friendly, welcoming and helpful. Bedroom clean and bed very comfortable. Bathroom and shower very clean with nice toiletries and soft towels.
We dined in Blair’s restaurant for both dinner and breakfast and meals were delicious. Great choices and plentiful for both. Had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this hotel. Great value for money too

A truly glowing review for Ardoe House Hotel & Spa
We stayed as a party of five across three rooms from 14 to 16 April, and this was an absolute find.
The hotel is magnificent — a stunning 19th-century Baronial mansion set within beautiful 30-acre grounds with sheep in the fields. It's a peaceful countryside retreat, yet just five miles from Aberdeen.
Our rooms were spacious, modern, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean, with tea/coffee, fridge, safe, iron, hairdryer, and quality bathroom toiletries.
Breakfast was a delight — a well-cooked, tasty buffet with hot and cold options, regularly replenished.
The gym is modern and well-equipped. The indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room were excellent — even with swimming lessons taking place, there was still ample space.
Parking was plentiful, despite the hotel being busy, and the staff were friendly throughout.
Ardoe House is a gem. Beautiful history, modern comforts, and wonderful grounds. We'll definitely be back.

One of the nicest rooms in Aberdeen for the price, great location, beautiful building, Spa, Pool everything you need, will definitely be back.
Room was clean and tidy and warm once we got the heating on.
Food was good in the evening and buffet breakfast more than adequate.
Staff all friendly and helpful.
Nice to have some real fires going in the evening.
Would certainly be back if looking for accommodation near Aberdeen.

The receptionist was far from welcoming - very matter of fact. I enquired to see if there was any cancellation with a dog friendly room - shrugged her shoulders and that was a no - not even I am sorry.
Bar staff where we could take a dog was over the top - as we walked in announced to whole bar we were walking in - there was a very loud child approx 9 yrs old who he was encouraging to be even louder - we moved table.
We have stayed here a few times but will not be back.

Ardoe House is an affordable, average hotel in a grand former home. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The breakfast buffet has a wide selection with the cooked food being particularly flavoursome.
The drawing room is a nice area to settle down in, despite the peculiar elevator music. The bar is well stocked with knowledgeable, if a little indifferent, bartenders on hand to create cocktails.
The pool and fitness area are in a separate building and are in fact the community’s local leisure point, so it lacks the quietude you might expect from a hotel-only setup.
In all, the property is rather tired. It’s got wear and gloominess in places. The staff are doing their best to keep the wheels turning, but they all look broken, apart from those on reception who are energetic and very helpful. It’s essentially a 3-star that has pipped into the 4-star bracket because there’s a pool next door. For the price though, it is a pleasant enough stay, and would serve you well for a night or two.

Friendly and helpful staff throughout the hotel and at the swimming pool. It was lovely to see locals there as well — a small glimpse of daily life and normality in a turbulent world. Some parts of the hotel feel a bit worn, and the shower had some mold, but this didn’t detract too much from the overall stay, as I used the facilities at the pool instead. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
