All good. Clean, comfortable and well managed.
Shower was powerful and hot.
The one breakfast I had was good.
I didn’t have any food in the evenings as I had made other arrangements so I can’t comment.
Staff were helpful and the parking was secure, free and directly across the road.

Potentially dangerous - locked outside at 3am!!

Checked in with no problems, but turns out that a key was missing from our room keys which left us locked outside at 3am. No staff on duty overnight to answer door or phone. We were left stranded outside in a dark, deserted town centre, unable to access the room and had to wake a friend who lives nearby and sleep on their couch. Not sure what we would have done if this was not an option. This could have been a very dangerous situation, but luckily we were were only left tired, angry and disappointed. Were promised a call-back from the manager but this has not happened. Pursuing full refund.

Great staff, food & location, terrible mattresses

Mixed feelings about this traditional country hotel. Staff were amazing, friendly and efficient. Dinner was great, good quality, good menu. Breakfast that was included in the rate was generous, well cooked and reasonable quality for price. The rooms though!!!!!....very clean with spotless linen but are in need of some updating. Dingy, no pictures, no plug beside bed to charge phone, cold water tap on sink didn't work until suddenly came gushing out late morning, mirror light on the blink, couldn't get TV to work....but worst of all mattresses are terrible, soft and springey, terrible sleep. A few minor upgrades are all that are needed

All of the staff were so lovely, really friendly and couldn’t do enough for you, without being overbearing. I was initially a bit worried when I arrived as the bar was busy with loud music but it was turned off by about 11. The cost was very reasonable too but I would say the staff made it for me.

We were only staying the one night at Hogmanay. As this was a national holiday no cooked breakfast was available which was understandable due to staff on holiday. The room was clean and comfortable unfortunately it was up three flights of stairs (no lifts). Overall althoigh a short stay i would recommend the hotel.

Our original booking had been cancelled due to Covid so we were in a bit of a last minute pickle. However, was pleased that the Buchan could accommodate us just a few days before a family get together. Staff very pleasant and food was good maybe a tad slow on occasions however...you can't have everything. My only criticism was I ordered a beef sandwich. Given that the meat was on the rack so to speak.... I had expected a hot beef sandwich... it was cold. Not ideal but all in all would still eat there and of course stay there again. Just next time...if someone orders a hot beef sandwich....it should be just that. Good luck and keep up the good work.:)

Short Stay

One night stay on a golf trip. Staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Ate there in the evening - very good standard. Breakfast was very good as well. Stayed in a single room which was fine for 1 night but it was “compact”. However the price was very reasonable and excellent value for money.

The room I stayed in was clean. First day shower was good and hot but on the sunday morning I woke up early and went for a shower. Let it run a few mins but didn't get any hot water so had to have a cold shower. The noise from the downstairs bar was prominent but went silent at 12. Over all for the price it was good few downside but you can manage.

Quiet Christmas break

Visiting family in Ellon, stayed for 4 nights over Christmas.

Having breakfast available over Christmas Day was a nice bonus (at check-in we were made aware that breakfast wasn't available on Boxing day, which was absolutely fine)

The restaurant went out of their way to accommodate for gluten free / dairy free options, which was greatly appreciated.

Room was clean and well presented, will stay again. thanks!
