Ardoe House Hotel & Spa

I was truly enchanted by the property, steeped in rich history and brimming with life during my stay, which included two beautiful weddings and a delightful birthday celebration. The grounds are absolutely stunning, offering the chance to spot native Scottish deer. The attentive staff were always available to assist with any needs, and I was blown away by the exquisite dining experience—every meal, from the hearty breakfast to the delectable buckwheat salad and heavenly desserts, was nothing short of five-star quality! I also treated myself to a rejuvenating seaweed-hot massage that provided the perfect retreat for my mind and body. The incredibly comfortable bed ensured I enjoyed restful nights. I wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional place for any occasion, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Large comfortable room. Super sized bed. Great shower. Plenty of parking. 20m indoor pool - not over-heated so good for doing laps. Buffet breakfast not overly fancy but plenty to choose from. Dinner meals (Sri Lankan Vegie curry and Beef Ale Pie and Mash) were great and saved us from having to drive back into Aberdeen. Lovely to be able to eat dinner in the lounge room overlooking the grounds. Even with a wedding ceiligh for 300 guests happening in one of the function rooms there wasn't any disruptions. Not sure if we got some special deal but our booking was great value. Not much more per night than staying in a hostel in Edinburgh. And we got breakfast as part of the package. And it was Friday/Saturday night.

Beautiful property in a lovely location, out in the countryside but a short drive to the city centre. Modern bathroom, spacious bedroom (privilege double) and lovely outlook from our room over the grounds. Great breakfast and receptionist at check in/evening shift was so friendly. Spa treatments were brilliant and staff there weee fantastic. Waiting area in the spa is a lovely space too.

Beautiful property catering mainly for large events, weddings etc. Plenty of parking and good disabled facilities, albeit we did have to ask for a shower mat as none was provided. Ideal for families and large groups, with catering to match. Food and bar very expensive for what was on offer - no wine list and chef was heavy with the salt. Wouldn’t recommend the restaurant (Wagyu steak was the toughest steak/poorest cut ever), which was quite disappointing as this place externally offers more than it delivers - especially as the pool and spa were closed during our stay.

We both loved the food, the meal we had was exceptional and worth the money. Our room was quiet, cosy and comfortable. The inside of the building was a joy to look around, all the paintings, drawings of the original house, decor, carpets etc
