The food was very sub par, and the room was very dusty. The site was not very welcoming, and the staff were moderately helpful and friendly. I wouldn’t stay again.

There were a few disappointing aspects to our stay. The room appeared to not have been dusted properly, with spiderwebs along the curtains and thick dust layers on the photos above the bed. The bed was found with no mattress protector and a sheet that didn’t even fit the bed which also had holes and dirt marks. There was only shampoo in the bathroom and the coffee machine was broken. When asking at reception for the bed to be remade and raising the issues found, there was no apology and quite a blunt response of “I’ll call housekeeping”. Found in the room after that were loose papers of what seemed to be gas safety reports, all which seem to just be photocopied and one had inappropriate language on it. The food at breakfast was fine, but the lunch that was part of a “Spa Delight Package” was mediocre with cold, dry cooked chicken that we worry was the reason for my partners food poisoning. The spa itself was disappointing but the massages were good. Only after booking, in small print, was the information that the pool is also shared- very regularly- with baby and children’s swimming lessons, in what world is that relaxing? The gym above the massage rooms provided not-so soothing banging noises of people chucking weights in the gym. When booking the spa, there are no time options available so you get whatever they slot you in as, for example my partner was at 12pm and I at 3pm, meaning no other plans were able to be made in the day as there were no other slots available.

Room was clean and tidy and warm once we got the heating on. Food was good in the evening and buffet breakfast more than adequate. Staff all friendly and helpful. Nice to have some real fires going in the evening. Would certainly be back if looking for accommodation near Aberdeen.

From the moment we arrived to when we left could not fault anything. Room was spacious, clean, staff were all very pleasant. Breakfast was plentiful and any special requests was not a problem. Didn’t use restaurant as price range for us was just a little too dear but that’s to be expected for a 4 star I assume. Used the gym, jacuzzi and the pool, but not the other spa facilities so cannot comment. Gym had plenty, varied equipment and the pool was warm (ish) and clean. Staff here were also very pleasant and extremely helpful. We stayed for 3 nights at a fantastic rate and only wished we could afford to stay longer. Daughter and I had a great stay and a well deserved recharge of the batteries after her prelims.
