As amazing as ever!

Liked: We've been coming here for years! It started as a little stopover, and now its a permanent part of our vacation. The rooms are beautifully furnished and the dogs especially love the small garden. The food is fantastic, varied and so delicious! The ambience is cozy and inviting. These are more than enough reasons to keep coming back, but the biggest is the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly, lovely and eager to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Great stay, but food can...

Liked: The friendly staff could not do enough to make our stay enjoyable. Our room was spacious, clean, and quiet. The restaurant is quirky. Breakfast was ample servings.
Disliked: The food served at dinner was not Michelin star quality. It was good pub food. Perhaps the photos on the website and the mention of Michelin star awarded food should be changed to avoid disappointed expectations.

A cute and comfy place...

Liked: The quaint view of the sea across the fields and the lovely longe area with bar.
Disliked: We couldn’t have our dinner in the lounge and bar because it had been booked by others. Instead we had it in the rather stale dining hall which was empty. We just didn’t get the atmosphere and ambience we were seeking.

Great Option North of Aberdeen

Liked: Spacious room in the annex to the pub. Coffee/tea/hot chocolate and biscuits. Desk and power outlets on both sides of the bed. Garden view, and despite backing on to the motorway, surprisingly quiet. Good breakfast and Sunday roast dinner. They also allowed us to park our motorcycles out of sight from the road near the annex.
Disliked: We did not book dinner reservations (on Fathers Day), so it seemed like it was an issue to squeeze us in (completely understandable). However, when we arrived at the appointed time, there were several tables open that remained open throughout our meal. It may have just been no-shows, but the effort to squeeze us in felt dramatic after the fact. Service was a tad slow for both breakfast and dinner, but very good otherwise.Our GPS had trouble getting us to the property, but I am assuming that our Europe chips do not reflect the “new” motorway and its exits.
