Very attentive hosts who catered for every need. The building is rather tired but with lots of old world charm with lovely touches such as fresh floral displays.
Breakfast was amazing and of a standard you'd expect at a top class hotel who would charge £25 a head for it!
Very dog friendly with a big field for him to run around off lead.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights at Disblair House - the room was very comfortable with everything that we needed. Breakfast was amazing - so much choice and everything delicious.
Karolyn and Chris are delightful hosts - very friendly and hospitable. The lounge with open fire and honesty bar were an added bonus in the evening.
We highly recommend it to anyone and would love to return.

Best kept secret in Scotland. Karolyn and Chris were fantastic hosts. We spent 1 night here but wish we had spent the other 9 nights here as well. Beautiful property and most comfortable bedding I’ve had outside my own home (including 4-star hotels).

The breakfast was 5-star worthy. Worth the lodging price alone!!

I told them they should charge more - I will figure out how to tip them…

I travel a lot for work, and it was great to find this little hotel off the beaten track. The owners are friendly and welcoming, and the room was comfortable and well laid out, with plenty of space. I used the link in the booking confirmation to find the hotel without any trouble, but take care to follow the signs.

Karolynn and Chris were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Our room was very comfortable and well equipped. The WiFi was the best I've ever had in a hotel, which was surprising given it's rural location.

The breakfast was very good and there was a wide choice.

We will use Disblair House again the next time we visit Aberdeen.

A Jewel in the Country

My wife and I have just spent the two most comfortable nights as guests of Disblair House Hotel.

Seeking accommodation close to a an event venue where friends were hosting their daughter's wedding reception (Barra Castle), I discovered Disblair House. Communication from the outset was faultless (thank you Karolyn). We dropped off our bags enroute to the reception, being welcomed by both Karolyn and Chris, then made our way to Barra Castle.

Comfort: Our room (No. 3) was beautifully prepared, as was the large ensuite shower room. The bed was comfortable, as were the armchairs, and the complimentary Taylor's Coffee Bags a lovely treat, with the Walker's shortbread.

Cooking: A wonderful 'Full Scottish' cooked breakfast was our choice each morning. Everything cooked to perfection, and the tomato? - well 6 cherry tomatoes, cooked just right, on the vine, was a first for me as part of a cooked breakfast. Delicious!

Improvements? Well, as I did say to Chris - the only even slightly negative comment I could make was my preference for salted butter over unsalted. :-). Perhaps I would also say that a particularly close to the ground sports car might find the access road a challenge.

Overall: Karolyn and Chris are wonderfully welcoming hosts. I cannot recommend Disblair House highly enough, and their invitation to drop in and see them for a coffee if even just passing through on some future occasion is a measure of the warmth and welcome found there.

We were made to feel welcome from the start to the end of our three night stay.
Our bed was so comfortable, it was a welcome return after a busy day exploring Aberdeenshire.
The ensuite facilities were very spacious.
Room included small fridge, microwave, TV, electric blanket, armchairs and hospitality tray.
Loved the drawing room with the open fire where we sat and played games.
Breakfast was outstanding, the choices were amazing and set you up for the day.
We didn't like saying goodbye, even Gracie our Jackadoodle enjoyed herself and was made to feel at home.

A little out of the way, but a great stay!

The owners were extremely nice and could not have been more accommodating. The house is basically in the middle of farm country, but the stay was very nice. There is a nice common room with a fire place and a bar. You serve yourself at the bar and pay on an honor system.
The breakfast was outstanding. You fill out your order the night before with a big selection and the breakfast was perfect. The porridge was the best we have had in Scotland by far.
It was a little further out of Aberdeen than expected, but we were very glad we stayed here.
Highly recommend it

We enjoyed our stay at Disblair House. Our family room was traditionally furnished. Beds and electric blankets were warm and comfortable. Bathroom was ensuite with electric shower. Breakfast was tasty, eggs from the hen coop with nice bacon and we had mushrooms and tomatoes. and plenty of white and brown toast ,croissants and waffles. We sampled juices and a cold table with ham, tomato salad, cornichons, cheeses. Freshly made coffee. In the evening we very much enjoyed sitting by a log fire in the honesty bar with a glass of good red wine. My daughter aged 7 did not want to leave this pleasant hotel. Our hosts could not have been more delightful. Recommended

Holy goodness! What a gem!

My husband and I stayed here, and we absolutely fell in love with the place. We were greeted at the door by Caroline, who showed us around. Our suite was quiet, private, and extremely comfortable. There was a den with a fireplace in the evening. It is a bit out in the country, but that is what made it a dream. Chris and Caroline were incredible hosts and dedicated to providing such a lovely experience. The breakfast was above and beyond, and offered so many options. We fell in love with Disblair House, and we would recommend it. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

We were up on some family business and had not been aware of the hotel although it was relatively local to our family base in Oldmeldrum
This hotel was a real find, so welcoming and comfortable, as well as being pet friendly. We will make it our go to place for any future visits up north
Lovely place and lovely people.

Lovey place, well worth a visit.

A first class, really different B&B. Lovely old building filled with amazing furniture and a lovely collection of quirky items, both inside and outside the house.
Beautiful spread of continental breakfast items, plus a hard to beat cooked Scottish breakfast, the plates full of good quality local produce.
Karolyn and Chris were the perfect hosts, who made every effort to make our stay comfortable, with some nice touches.
Due to the rural location, the honesty bar is a great idea for those who want to relax in the lovely surroundings, in front of the open fire.
It’s easy to find, plenty of parking and a warm welcome, add in a great nights sleep, it has everything!
