Saplinbrae Hotel, Mintlaw (near Peterhead) We recently stayed at the Saplinbrae Hotel and were thoroughly impressed. The hotel offers a warm, comfortable atmosphere with the added convenience of on-site parking. Despite being busy during our visit, the staff remained professional, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout. Their friendly service made the experience all the more enjoyable. Dinner was the highlight of our stay. As we hadn’t booked in advance, we ate in the bar rather than the restaurant, but the food was still excellent and the setting was relaxed and welcoming. If you want to dine in the restaurant, it’s definitely worth reserving a table ahead of time to avoid disappointment. Breakfast was also good, with plenty of choice, but it was the evening meal that truly stood out. Overall, Saplinbrae is a charming and well-run hotel that delivers on comfort, service, and quality dining. We highly recommend it for a relaxing stay in Aberdeenshire.

Disappointed visit

Friendly and helpful staff. Hotel could do with a facelift,paper peeling of the walls and damaged paintwork both in our room and throughout the public rooms.but the most concern was the amount of flies around our table both at the dinner and breakfast as the were a constant irritation at all meals. We booked a superior king room and were disappointed, the bedside tables was made of thin tin and clattered whenever anything was laced on it.There were not any toiletries in the bathroom as i would expect in any hotel of this price and rating. The food was well cooked and served by helpful pleasant staff.

Hidden Gem Hotel and Quality Food

What a hidden gem of a hotel! From the anticipated needs when booking to the friendly efficient staff on arrival and throughout out our stay and not forgetting the quality food served. Probably the best cooked breakfast I’ve had too! I also have to mention the spacious deluxe room that was spotlessly clean and the team who keep it that way.

Lovely location for a quiet stay. The staff were very welcoming and room clean and very comfortable. We had dinner and the food was excellent - sauces so tasty and the fish wonderfully fresh. Handy location for jumping onto the NE railways trail nearby and also for various local attractions.

Fabulous stay at Saplin Brae

We had three rooms for one night, to celebrate a family birthday, and had dinner in the restaurant. The rooms were all extremely comfortable, with everything you could need. the bathrooms were great too. Dinner was really excellent and my son who has a dairy allergy was given his own menu to choose from, this was brilliant, and an added extra that was greatly appreciated. We had drinks by the fire before dinner, and returned there afterwards. Breakfast was delicious, staff so helpful and friendly. Cannot recommend highly enough!
