Rattray Head

Room was comfortable and the bedding and the towels were fresh. We had to move rooms late on a our first night due to a leak in the ceiling in the bathroom but the staff quickly resolved the issue and were really helpful and apologetic, in both rooms the carpets were really stained and in need of a deep clean. The reception area and restaurant are are lovely. The staff are friendly and helpful, the hotel is in an ideal location.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lovely stay in a beautiful historic house Ardoe House is a grand and impressive building, with beautiful panelled walls and plenty of character. The staff were excellent throughout our stay—friendly, welcoming and attentive. Our Classic Room was spacious and comfortable, with an excellent shower in the bathroom. There were also plenty of plug sockets in convenient locations around the bedroom, which was a nice practical touch. The dining room is very well presented and provides a lovely setting for dinner. The lamb main course was absolutely stunning and definitely the highlight of the meal. We did, however, feel that the starters and desserts were somewhat overpriced for what was served. Outside, the grounds are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, providing a pleasant setting around the house. The location is also very convenient, being only around 15 minutes from Aberdeen city centre while still offering the feel of a country house retreat. Overall, a very enjoyable stay in a beautiful historic property, with great staff, comfortable rooms and an excellent main course. A solid 4-star experience as advertised.

Charming and unique historic hotel. Its an older hotel that’s beautifully furnished. Lots of windows, comfy chairs, a nice bar and dining room. It’s right off a main road and close to the Airport, so it’s very accessible.
