Meldrum House Country Hotel & Golf Course

10/10 Excellent

"The heated floor in the bathroom is always a winner every visit. Disappointed that you now can’t get dinner in the bar. As a single person travelling for work, it’s never great having to sit in a busy restaurant"

Kilmarnock Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay if you are playing Cruden Bay. Rooms is spartan but clean. Great water pressure. Great breakfast. Get the fish and chips for dinner."

New Inn Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very helpful in finding football on the TV to watch in the bar. Restaurant food excellent."

Newburgh Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Good food. Excellent value for the money."

Harbour Spring, Peterhead by Marston's Inns

8/10 Good

"Rooms were as expected, clean and comfortable as expected. Accommodation is across the car park from the main restaurant and there are 2 options nearby for EV charging, which was useful for us. I’m a light sleeper and could hear the noise from nearby road and car parks, but didn’t keep me up for long. Food in the restaurant was ok, typical pub fayre in the evening, but we never tried the breakfast- which you can drop in for without booking."

Beachview

10/10 Excellent

"My second visit here was just as brilliant as the first visit, a different room this time but just as nice, with excellent views over the sea and harbour. A friendly welcome on my arrival and a spotless, very spacious room. The whole property looks like it’s been fully renovated recently and their attention to detail is excellent, nice fluffy towels, quality bedding, really nice decor all make the room feel very comfortable and enjoyable. I’ll be back again when I’m next in the area."

Belvilla Aberdeen Bridge of Don Exhibition Centre

8/10 Good

"Cheap and cheerful so to speak Cheapest hotel around rooms are fine everything is clean it Don't expect 4star rooms and services but it's fine for what it is Always use it when im in Aberdeen"

By The Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely perfect B&B for what we needed beautifully modern inside but cleverly decorates with just enough local Scottish seaside flavour. The room was small but the clever way it was put together made it feel cozy rather than cramped. The bathroom was modern and beautifully appointed and immaculately clean (very important on a 2 week road trip around the UK) There is a well equipped CoOp very close and the Killmarnock Arms hotel is a very short walk away. Excellent food (bring your appetite the servings are huge), lovely staff and a very nice atmosphere in the restaurant. It is a perfect spot to base yourself if you want a small seaside village feel because it is only a relatively short drive to Banff and other picturesque seaside historic villages like Cullen, If it is sunny, (the stunning village location for the 1983 classic 'Local Hero' (still an enormously enjoyable movie that gets 99% on Rotten Tomatoes even today) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennan is a must see via a winding drive on a classic narrow country road through absolutely beautiful countryside! Pennan will stun you as it is a strip of colourful historic cottages, tucked up against a towering cliff face, a stunning bay and at the end of the breakwater a charming coffee 'hut' with a delightful owner to chat to in season. We enjoyed this B&B so much we extended our stay. Breakfast is continental style and self serve but we are not really breakfast people so that didn't bother us. Beautiful!!!"

Belvilla Aberdeen Bridge of Don Sea VIew - Ex Holiday Inn Express

8/10 Good

"Parking wasn’t great you had pay to staying considering it’s not like it’s near a shopping area , we parked with blue badge in the disabled area the lift was not available to use from that area at all ,it seems always like it so pointless having blue badge area without having the right access to reception, using the stairs was difficult hard going , only once you found reception did see another carpark , should have proper signs displayed, Bedroom window is broken and big gap for cold wind coming in room has no proper heating either rusty plug in heater , rooms cleaned to high standard, but only one towel per person provided and one pillow each on beds that’s poor at least should have two , outside the hotel needs some attention and should be no smoking standing at front doors it’s disgusting and thst including staff too Apart from thst we where happy the price and size of rooms just need few details sorting and painting,"
