Aberdeenshire and Moray Cottages

A spring morning in April is an excellent time to visit Dunottar Castle on the north East Coast of Scotland, The daffodils are coming up and spring is in the air. At 5.18am the sun is breaking over the horizon. There is nowhere to gat a coffee and a bacon sandwich unless you drive south to Montrose and the Greggs the bakers opens at 7am. Bring a flask as the breeze of the north sea is bloody freezing in April, The Castle doesn't open until 10am, Built in the 1400's it played a major role in the Jacobite uprisings of the 1715 and 1745.

Top Aberdeenshire and Moray Hotel Reviews

Sandman Signature Aberdeen Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Happy with stay"

Brentwood Aberdeen City Centre near Union Street

2/10 Terrible

"Pictures no resemblance to hotel rooms. We found out that it’s two buildings and we were staying in the other half next door to reception. Parking, was told it’s about £15 for a night and isn’t onsite, however road parking is free from 6pm to 8am and then £4/hour up to 2hrs. The building has a manual keypad on the door which was broken and the door was just open. No reception or staff to monitor who is coming or going. You then have to traverse a maze of corridors and staircases with unclear signage as to what rooms are located where. ( another couple also couldn’t find their room). Having finally gone down three different corridors and staircases we managed to find our room. The general state of the corridors and carpet are in very bad condition and dirty. In the room, the carpet is just as dirty as out in the corridors. Our room had bits of tissue on the floor along with chewing gum and several iron imprints. Most of the furniture was sticky to touch and also all the drawers had staining in the bottom of them and two didn’t even have bottoms in them as they were broken. In the bathroom, there was ancient dried on urine all over the base of the toilet and the shower had mould and hair all over it. There were no towls in the room so had to go back outside to reception to ask. Bed linen was clean though. Despite booking breakfast, we were told that there isn’t any as the kitchen is closed for refurbishment. Also TV doesn’t work as not connected to the internet or aerial. "

Coylumbridge Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean, comfortable and warm, easy access to Cairngorm mountain / ski centre, Loch Morlich, Reindeer Centre and Loch Uaine (Green Loch). Food menu in bar a little limited (Burgers etc.) but has other eateries. Only negative is the walls are thin so can hear people in next rooms but the staff were very quick to act"
