Top Aberdeenshire Hotel Reviews

Banchory Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Oh my what a jewel. Fantastic hotel cannot wait to return. Faultless. Book a room with terrace."

Strathburn Hotel Inverurie by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"The Strathburn is a charming hotel. The staff were very courteous and helpful. We found it quite warm in the room likely because the days were warmer than we expected & there is no A/C. We were disappointed that there is no longer a restaurant for dinner in the evening. The staff was helped us to order pizza to be delivered to the hotel."

Maryculter House

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for 2 nights for a wedding, on arriving the receptionist was polite and very helpful, directed us to our room which was easily found. Our room was beautiful and clean, well maintained. We had a room overlooking the river which was quiet and peaceful with stunning views. Breakfast in the morning of the wedding was amazing, hot and plenty of it. So we didn’t go hungry. The bar staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Unfortunately the only down side was the exterior of the building. In need of a little TLC cleaning of the gutters and splash of paint would make such a difference. The grounds were well maintained and clean. Would I stay again. Yes I would"

Tor Na Coille Hotel & Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Overall Had a good stay. Our standard room the bed was a tiny double and on one side a sloping roof making it very difficult to get in and out of bed without smashing head. The kettle didn't reach the plug so had to make coffee on the floor. The shower was an awful old electric thing that didnt get hot and was just a dribble of water. The bar was set up for breakfast by 8pm and so we couldn't sit and enjoy a drink there after dinner. However these were just wee annoying things. We had a great dinner, very tasty and good portion size. Breakfast was okay. The staff were all lovely. We would stay again but pay extra for a superior room"
