"A truly glowing review for Ardoe House Hotel & Spa We stayed as a party of five across three rooms from 14 to 16 April, and this was an absolute find. The hotel is magnificent — a stunning 19th-century Baronial mansion set within beautiful 30-acre grounds with sheep in the fields. It's a peaceful countryside retreat, yet just five miles from Aberdeen. Our rooms were spacious, modern, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean, with tea/coffee, fridge, safe, iron, hairdryer, and quality bathroom toiletries. Breakfast was a delight — a well-cooked, tasty buffet with hot and cold options, regularly replenished. The gym is modern and well-equipped. The indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room were excellent — even with swimming lessons taking place, there was still ample space. Parking was plentiful, despite the hotel being busy, and the staff were friendly throughout. Ardoe House is a gem. Beautiful history, modern comforts, and wonderful grounds. We'll definitely be back."

"Great stay as usual."

"Bathroom was dire - took half an hour to run the bathwater. Water not hot enough"

"Clean rooms, helpful staff. Very nice. Parking directions could be clearer. But the staff was very helpful with it."

"We had a lovely stay here for 3 nights! The staff were outstanding--incredibly helpful and kind and wonderful. Highly recommended. Thank you!"

"Very nice one-night stay. Lovely building and grounds. A bit too cold to enjoy the outdoors, but the gardens and general outdoor areas are very nice indeed. Would be fabulous on a nice warm sunny day. Rooms are large and comfortable, although facilities look a bit dated (not necessarily a bad thing if you like things old-school and traditional). Lovely staff, very welcoming. "

"Airport hotel for early flights "

"The staff member on reception was excellent - Lauren. Breakfast was good, lots of staff ensuring the buffet always stocked and food was fresh. Bar is dated and house white wine dreadful. Room comfortable if slightly dated, bed comfortable."

"Maybe made clearer a little further out of city centre than we thought"
