John
Great apartment and very good breakfast and dinner. Good location for exploring
Lorna
Perfect place to stay with a dog. The mattress could do with an upgrade but otherwise very comfortable although there was an overwhelming smell of cleaning products in the accommodation. Food is excellent.
Bobbi
Great place to play golf at Trump Aberdeen or Royal Aberdeen. The restaurant food and service fantastic. Highly recommend!!!
Joyce
The staff were amazing & our room was perfect. Unfortunately Donald Trump decided to come to his golf course across the road & therefore stop access to beaches etc for us common people.
JENNIFER
Lovely setting very friendly staff. Appartment was great and had everything in it.
James
Very clean and comfortable room although describing it as luxury is maybe a step too far! Breakfast and indeed all the food was excellent and the staff were extremely polite and helpful. It is a quiet location about a mile from the village so you probably need to drive. Would definitely stay here again.
Mrs Wendy A
Fantastic atmosphere great staff comfortable room and great food
Robert

Great place to stay and very welcoming as always.
Mike
The room we had was large with a good size bathroom attached. Unfortunate with 75mm of snow outside the heating had been turbed off and the room was cold. Nothing other than a small bar of hand soap in the bathroom and now room slippers to protect you from the cold floor.
On the whole it was a good room that jyst needed the finishing touches to make it right.

Great little place to stay
First time i've actually stayed at premises like this as i'm usually \"Travelodge\" kinda person. Thought i would just treat myself and was quite surprised at the friendliness of the staff, the quality of the food and the comfort of the room.
The locals use the restaurant and it can be quite busy, so booking for a table can be a must (Fri & Sat evenings), but even then the friendliness of the locals is quite good.
Would recommend staying here as you are dealing with a local business, not some corporate chain.

What a great find for a visit to Aberdeen. We had our dog and didn't want to be in city centre. A quaint country inn - lovely decor - great drink selection - excellent dinner and breakfast. The room was lovely - a big comfortable bed. All of the staff we came across from check-in - 2 x breakfasts and 2 x dinners were excellent - well done on your recruitment - the staff were wonderful. Thank you for looking after us and the dog ! The place is dog friendly and that was so good for us.
Claire
Excellent. The rooms are spacious, stylish and everything was spotless. They are in a separate building from the pub so perfectly quiet and private. Well set up with an outdoor area. The staff were very nice and made sure you were happy with everything. Cooked breakfast was good. Nice location with a view of the sunrise out to sea at the breakfast table

Clean and comfy room and good food!
The pub itself is great - good food, lots of space (also between people given COVID) and lovely food! The room was big, clean and bed comfortable. Overall, just a great stay.

Very enjoyable stay.
Even on a wet miserable day in the middle of June we found lots to do in the area, especially our visit to Newburgh Beach where we saw 100’s an 100’s of Seals

A hidden gem...
A great pub with lovely rooms. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. It's just off the busy A90 where there are a lot of roadworks just now so more stop-over accommodation than anything else. If you're there on business, it's a winner!
Nicola
Great place, very friendly and accommodating. Dog friendly too. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The room was lovely and clean and the shower was amazing! Would definitely stay again if I end up working in the area again. Although I arrived by car, the hotel has a bus stop straight outside for traveling back into Aberdeen.
