Saplinbrae Hotel, Mintlaw (near Peterhead)

We recently stayed at the Saplinbrae Hotel and were thoroughly impressed. The hotel offers a warm, comfortable atmosphere with the added convenience of on-site parking.

Despite being busy during our visit, the staff remained professional, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout. Their friendly service made the experience all the more enjoyable.

Dinner was the highlight of our stay. As we hadn’t booked in advance, we ate in the bar rather than the restaurant, but the food was still excellent and the setting was relaxed and welcoming. If you want to dine in the restaurant, it’s definitely worth reserving a table ahead of time to avoid disappointment.

Breakfast was also good, with plenty of choice, but it was the evening meal that truly stood out.

Overall, Saplinbrae is a charming and well-run hotel that delivers on comfort, service, and quality dining. We highly recommend it for a relaxing stay in Aberdeenshire.

Disappointed visit

Friendly and helpful staff.
Hotel could do with a facelift,paper peeling of the walls and damaged paintwork both in our room and throughout the public rooms.but the most concern was the amount of flies around our table both at the dinner and breakfast as the were a constant irritation at all meals.
We booked a superior king room and were disappointed, the bedside tables was made of thin tin and clattered whenever anything was laced on it.There were not any toiletries in the bathroom as i would expect in any hotel of this price and rating.
The food was well cooked and served by helpful pleasant staff.

Hidden Gem Hotel and Quality Food

What a hidden gem of a hotel! From the anticipated needs when booking to the friendly efficient staff on arrival and throughout out our stay and not forgetting the quality food served. Probably the best cooked breakfast I’ve had too!

I also have to mention the spacious deluxe room that was spotlessly clean and the team who keep it that way.

Lovely location for a quiet stay. The staff were very welcoming and room clean and very comfortable.

We had dinner and the food was excellent - sauces so tasty and the fish wonderfully fresh.

Handy location for jumping onto the NE railways trail nearby and also for various local attractions.

Fabulous stay at Saplin Brae

We had three rooms for one night, to celebrate a family birthday, and had dinner in the restaurant. The rooms were all extremely comfortable, with everything you could need. the bathrooms were great too. Dinner was really excellent and my son who has a dairy allergy was given his own menu to choose from, this was brilliant, and an added extra that was greatly appreciated. We had drinks by the fire before dinner, and returned there afterwards. Breakfast was delicious, staff so helpful and friendly. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Little Slice of Heaven

Love Saplinbrae and this was my fifth visit, and my wifes first. Thankfully she loved it as much as i do. Lovely room, comfy bed, great shower, very peaceful and the food is always outstanding but this was the best yet! Amazing staff as well.

A warm treat in very cold January weather

A friendly, welcoming lady greeted me on arrival and explained everything simply and professionally.

The room was warm, comfortable and most adequate for one night at the hotel. Very comfy bed.

The teas and coffees were well stocked with my favourite Clipper coffee - tremendous attention to detail, imo.

The bar restaurant has an open fire which was continually stocked as it was snow and sleet outside.

In the evening, the food, service, and value was nothing short of excellent.

Breakfast was very good too. The lady who served me was helpful and polite.

The decor isn't overly Scottish like a lot of Scottish hotels. Just enough tartan without feeling like your trapped inside a Bay City Rollers reunion concert.

Clearly, a well established hotel which is worth the visit.

Nothing short than praise for this property. It is a hidden gem worth visiting for those who enjoy farm to table food. Great secure country walks and more.
Don’t go here when you like wild and crazy.
The hotel’s room pricing is a steal when you consider the massive breakfast that is included.
The restaurant has a different menu every night based on what has come in from farms around and fish brought on shore.

Just spent one night in a lodge. Very impressed with the quality of everything in the lodge. We made dinner and a cooked breakfast for 5 and had everything that we needed. Even supplied dishwasher tablets which we forgot to bring. Plenty of cleaning products supplied too.
Beds and bedding were of an excellent standard and the log burner was an added bonus. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer.
