"Very friendly and welcoming staff. Room was very comfortable and clean and had an iron and ironing board in the wardrobe.
A great hot breakfast, which was buffet style. Arriving back very late from a wedding reception, snacks were available near the front desk. The location of this hotel is excellent for onward journeys and there is good parking. I would stay here again.
Happy to recommend a stay here."
"Staff are super friendly and have amazing knowledge of the local area. The harbour is one of my favourite locations in the world and the Ship Inn harbour view room let me look at it all night. "
"This is my second time at Ardoe and I just love it there. You can’t get more picturesque, unique or enjoyable than staying in a small castle. The grounds are magical with highland cows over the hill and sheep grazing down the garden. The staff are lovely and the dining options are wonderful. Soapies Bar is a cozy’s and friendly gathering place. Hope to return again!"
"The Village Hotel Aberdeen, was a great place to stay while visiting the area. It's location is close enough to Aberdeen to get to the city quickly, but also close to local highways that allow easy travel to other areas.

"Idea location for arrival by train. Nice bar and dining areas.
Large and comfortable room, hotel handily located next to shopping centre with dining options and also for local transport."
"We had a lovely stay for two nights. Was lovely, quiet and staff were excellent. We arrived to a lovely dessert selection in our room which was very much appreciated. Would highly recommend if older, heritage properties are your preference (like ours)!"
"This was by far one of the most unique and exquisite hotels I have ever stayed at. The named rooms were of old historical style beautifully kept and containing all the modern amenities needed. The best part of the hotel was the Great Room - it was GREAT!!! Loved it and spent much of our time in that room while at the hotel - words cant' describe how special it was. Hotel service was impeccable. The staff and management were all extremely attentive to our needs and questions. The food and drinks were visually impressive and very tasty. The salmon and scrambled egg breakfast was the best. Loved their Whiskey flights. I highly recommend this hotel to all, especially those that have a love for historical medieval culture! I give the Maryculter House 15 out of 10 stars! This place will remain a good memory for my wife and I forever. And don't forget to visit the Templar cathedral and graveyard just next to the hotel. Lots of history there. And the river next to the entire place was very beautiful and relaxing. Staying here allowed us to revitalize and immerse ourselves in the true culture of old! Almost forgot, the Molton shampoo and body wash were very refreshing - unlike anything we've ever experienced from a hotel - very very nice. Everything at the Maryculter House was of the highest quality and standards... Absolutely no complaints, except that we eventually had to leave :)"
"Friendly helpful staff and loved the location . Decor a bit bizarre in some areas like random pictures and dining room wallpaper . Staff were helpful but access to our room was difficult due to high number of stairs and number of corridors ."
