The Staff were amazing especially Charlie. The breakfast was very good & freshly cooked.
The room was ok but the bathroom was small & the shower was very poor pressure it just drizzles out.
The property is very dated & needs modernising , It felt as if I was still in the 70s 🤔

The Strathburn Hotel is probably one of the better accommodation options if you are travelling between Aberdeen and Inverness. The property is conveniently located close to the main trunk road, making it an easy stopover, and it appears to be well maintained and cared for.

What really stood out during our stay was the quality of the staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful, but Sharon deserves special mention. She was exceptionally informative, approachable, and genuinely willing to go the extra mile to assist guests. Her positive attitude made a noticeable difference to our experience.

The rooms and facilities were comfortable, and overall we found the hotel to be a pleasant and reliable place to stay.

The only minor drawback we noticed was the lack of nearby shops or stores. At least during our visit, we did not come across any within easy walking distance, which could be inconvenient if you need to pick up essentials or snacks without driving.

Overall, a very good stay with excellent service, and a hotel we would happily consider again when travelling through the area.

The Strathburn Hotel was the ideal venue for our surprise birthday gathering. The hotel is old style but comfortable, clean and warm with a quiet lounge area beside the reception where we sat and chatted. All the staff were both efficient and friendly - Nicki( booking), Charlie and a very helpful Polish lady. The food was good, though the menu fairly limited especially for gluten free choices. The chef had made fresh gluten free rolls one night - the best I've ever tasted and the Thai curry was fantastic. For other gluten free people The Garioch Fish Bar just along the road does lovely gluten free fish and chips too.

Unclean room stains on the bedsheets, dirty scatter cushion and dirty floor. Our room was right next to reception so was pretty loud. Bed was comfy and had a decent sleep. Would not come back and glad we only stayed one night. We booked a family room and luckily we didn’t bring our daughter because there would’ve been no room for her, no spare bed or even space for a travel cot, not sure if we even got the upgrade we paid for.

Stayed here a round 6 months ago with work and thought it was okay, came back again this time and won’t return. Maybe just a bad room I got this time but in a sad state. Peeling wall paper, holes in walls, exposed screws and a dumping corner of old furniture. Paper thin curtains didn’t keep the light out. Threadbare carpets. Staff all friendly and helpful and breakfast fresh with a good continental selection

First visit to this hotel. Lots of scan to pay for parking signs around, but you DON'T pay if staying at the hotel. Very nice welcome, easy check in and a very nice room. We had a couple of drinks in the very pleasant bar area before going out for the evening. We didn't eat at the hotel. The bed was lovely to sleep in and the room temperature was comfortable. Had a good breakfast in the morning before heading home. Excellent stay.

The room was full of dust and cobwebs and daddy long legs along the roof..
The buffett hot breakfast bar was not clean. The front screen was not cleaned and a cobweb was actually hanging from the inside of the hotplate. As we were there for 2 days it was still there on the second morning.
The breakfast was ok I think it would be better to go back to ordering breakfast rarther than a buffet Not enough through flow of guests for example all the fried eggs on display were hard.

Good place at a reasonable rate. We ended up with a huge room overlooking the garden.
The only downside was we could hear the creaking boards from the floor upstairs & I think that guest was trying to get his 10,000 step in before leaving the room in the morning.

Inverurie Stay

Lovely hotel which we used to see the area. Quite plain on the outside , but lovely lounge and dining area with tartan carpet. The staff were all friendly and helpful , especially the receptionist with the dark hair in a plait. The room was a good size and overlooked the garden. The mattress topper on the bed kept moving and creasing making for an uncomfortable sleep. The bathroom was clean but I prefer a shower, as the bath was a bit old.
The food we received was not too good. At breakfast there was not a lot of choice if you did not want a hot breakfast. No musli, bran flakes or fresh fruit etc. The yogurts were good. We had 3 breakfasts and they ran out of brown bread, potato cakes and peppermint tea. We had dinner the first night , but I found the chicken and risotto overcooked and dry.

Two night break

Overall our stay was very good. All the staff were friendly and professional and were always keen to help in any way. There was a reasonable choice at breakfast. The hot option could have been hotter and I chose bacon and baked beans from a good selection of hot food but they only gave you one rasher of bacon. We had an excellent evening meal on the first night, the staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We did not eat in the hotel on the second night as the menu did not change apart from a different pie for the main course. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

The rooms are dated which is not a significant issue but the walls between rooms are paper thin to the point you can hear conversations clearly. The front of the hotel faces a busy road which was very noisy from 6am onwards. The road was very quiet in the evening.

Good-quality, old-fashioned comfort

The hotel is slightly old-fashioned, but that's a plus not a negative. The rooms have lots of character, with all the facilities you need but not in a standardised, soulless format as in so many modern chain hotels. The food is relatively simple but excellent, wholesome and obviously freshly-cooked. The breakfast selection is excellent and the service is cheerful and friendly. You'll enjoy your stay!

Was not impressed with the room in the least which was suppost to be a Superior room, wouldn't of liked to of seen the standard.
Both mornings no hot water in the shower complained the first morning to be told no its not cold water its tepped !! it was cold.
Booked the hotel for the food reviews as travel all over the country with work and fancied trying something different so tried the Fish Goujouns turned out to be fish fingers.

There was nothing fancy about the bedroom (which I like), but the bed was supercomfortable, the room had everything we needed including good wifi, was warm on a very cold night, and the bathroom was fine. The shower was in the bath, but that meant there was a bath option. The food was excellent: old-fashioned Scottish cooking at its best, and breakfast was delicious, all at a very reasonable price. We'd definitely stay again if we were in the area.
