Going Down
Staff very friendly and friendly with each other, menu very poor, food apart from lobster was very good. Dining was very expensive for what you got.
Cleanliness in hotel was very good, bedroom not so, went to make a coffee only to find the kettle disgusting, the spout was even full of dried sediment.
Stayed here 20 months ago and I'm afraid the hotel has gone down and the prices up.
Don't think it should be classed as five star anymore. Which is a shame because it is a beautiful place.

Always a hit when we come here for a meal but we decided to stay on our last visit. Service was 5* from all the staff. From check in to check out. Dinning at night was amazing and breakfast could not be faulted.
After our meal and several drinks we went to the "drawing room" live music was amazing and again staff very accommodating.
A sauna and spa would make this hotel our go to but only services from spa available.

Lovely building in spacious grounds. Easy access from the AWPR and plenty parking.
Room was clean and comfortable with coffee, tea, milk, water and a small fridge. The bed was amazingly comfortable - like sleeping on a cloud!

Generally a nice hotel but disappointing in a few areas.
Breakfast and dinner were good. The grounds are pretty and well maintained.
Be aware there is a large construction site next door to the hotel. While we were there the banging, drilling and trucks started at 07:00 and went on until after 17:30. It was a hot few days, but we couldn’t have the window open because of the noise.
The room was a bit dated with a fairly random collection of furniture and styles ranging from the early 90s to the mid 2000’s. It would benefit from a refurb / redesign of the rooms.
The bathroom had dangerously hot water and be careful not to touch the towel rail! The black mould on the tile grout in the bath was disappointing.
Overall it was fine, but just a bit tired.

Have stayed here below. The hotel is a little out of the centre but has large grounds with deer roaming free. The rooms like the whole place are old world classic but luxurious. Very comfortable and surprisingly quiet even though there was a corporate party elsewhere in the building we didn't hear a thing during the night.
The other big highlight is the restaurant and the bar. Dinner isn't cheap but the food is delicious and the breakfast is great too. If you want a high end, old world hotel in Aberdeen this is a great choice

Beautiful hotel. Nice and peaceful.
Literally the only issue - they have cheap instant coffee in the hotel room. Maybe it’s a UK thing but Nescafé instant coffee is garbage and not what I’d expect to see offered at a 5 star hotel.
