A very enjoyable stay, a...

Liked: The room was large, well furnished and comfortable. Dinner menu provided a good choice, with each course very well presented and the food was delicious. Breakfast provided a wide choice of cold and hot food which was very tasty and well presented. The staff taking orders for breakfast and dinner were very friendly and attentive. Jill, on Reception at our arrival, who also served us coffee in the afternoon and then Pre-Dinner drinks and then supervised and was hands on during Dinner, was superb. She is a first class employee and ambassador of the hotel and we hope the Macdonald Management recognises the value she brings.
Disliked: The stairs from the ground to first floor have very short treads due to the curved layout of the staircase. This makes it necessary to take extra care when using.

Really lovely and relaxing stay.

Liked: Everyone was very welcoming, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Bed was very comfy. Shame wardrobe doors were not there due to being damaged, so no mirror. however we were allowed to use the room across the hall as empty to use mirror as we had a wedding to go to. So all good. Beautiful grounds.
Disliked: On a couple of occasions we had to find the waitress in the morning for breakfast. Could maybe check a bit more if more coffee or tea or anything needed. but only a little gripe. Always super helpful and chatty in a good way. Shame the Wifi didn't work in our room, but just due to signal can't be helped. Was fine when we were in the drawing room or downstairs. Was a relief not to be held to it, but a bit difficult to get messages to people picking us up. We just had to make sure we were ready earlier. A little bit out of the way, but in general it suited us this time as near wedding venue. Really need a car.

Lovely location, lovely staff

Liked: Lovely period property, my turret room had a huge bath
Disliked: Nothing

Excellent, we couldn’t have asked...

Liked: We were very impressed! All the staff were wonderfully friendly and helpful. This is a delightful old Scottish Manor, kept in very good condition and clean. After many stairs and long hallways befitting an old manor, we found our room. A huge corner room with beautiful views of the gardens. We even had a nice big bathtub which was a real treat after a day and a half of air travel to get to Aberdeen. Dinner was excellent and the restaurant has an intimate romantic atmosphere with a lovely view of the expansive grounds. Breakfast was the full Scottish fare, again looking out onto the surrounding green meadows. It’s in a perfect location especially if arriving late afternoon in Aberdeen, only a 1/2 hour from the airport. We couldn’t have asked for better!
Disliked: We didn't like having to leave! But hopefully we’ll be back!

Good

Perfect place for a calm...

Liked: Staff was incredibly friendly and lovely. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Breakfast was really good and the room was perfect with the gigantic bath! We will definitely come back during another trip to Scotland.
