The room we had was large with a good size bathroom attached. Unfortunate with 75mm of snow outside the heating had been turbed off and the room was cold. Nothing other than a small bar of hand soap in the bathroom and now room slippers to protect you from the cold floor. On the whole it was a good room that jyst needed the finishing touches to make it right.

Great golf and company

Great stay. All staff very friendly and accommodating. The hotel was very clean and the breakfast choices were plenty and anything you wanted if it wasn’t on the menu and they could do it for you they did. The view from the place was great. Will be returning again.

Great little place to stay

First time i've actually stayed at premises like this as i'm usually "Travelodge" kinda person. Thought i would just treat myself and was quite surprised at the friendliness of the staff, the quality of the food and the comfort of the room. The locals use the restaurant and it can be quite busy, so booking for a table can be a must (Fri & Sat evenings), but even then the friendliness of the locals is quite good. Would recommend staying here as you are dealing with a local business, not some corporate chain.

What a great find for a visit to Aberdeen. We had our dog and didn't want to be in city centre. A quaint country inn - lovely decor - great drink selection - excellent dinner and breakfast. The room was lovely - a big comfortable bed. All of the staff we came across from check-in - 2 x breakfasts and 2 x dinners were excellent - well done on your recruitment - the staff were wonderful. Thank you for looking after us and the dog ! The place is dog friendly and that was so good for us.

Excellent. The rooms are spacious, stylish and everything was spotless. They are in a separate building from the pub so perfectly quiet and private. Well set up with an outdoor area. The staff were very nice and made sure you were happy with everything. Cooked breakfast was good. Nice location with a view of the sunrise out to sea at the breakfast table
