Maryculter House

Brilliant!

Pros: The accommodation, the service, the staff, the ambience was all superb. So indeed was the food. I am a Coeliac and there were very good GF options for both Dinner and Breakfast which is not always the case so very much appreciated. One small mention should be made regarding the Dinner Menu. For a very famous Scottish hotel, I was surprised to see no quintessentially 'Scottish' dishes on the Dinner Menu. It may have been just on that day, but although the food we enjoyed was superbly cooked, it was very International and there was nothing other than Strathdon Blue to tie the food to the Highlands - and Blue Cheese is not universally appreciated. A Scottish dessert, a soup, a main course - all strangely lacking. Not even smoked salmon. Haggis was mentioned in the bar snacks but personally I felt that the Hotel let's itself down by not offering Scottish options. Perhaps next time?

I am already planning our next visit.

Pros: The dinner was excellent. Limited options but the quality was superb. The Junior suit on the ground floor was a fantastic size especially with a dog, patio doors straight onto the lawn and river. Big round table and chairs to have room service breakfast at. Bath and separate shower were great.

Cons: The only downside, and it's very minor, but the room is supplied with a cafetière, but no ground coffee to use it with. Just the usual instant coffee sachets and tea bags. Possibly we could have asked at reception for some, but we brought our own cause I like my coffee! The bar was part of the restaurant so we were not allowed to bring our dog in, but there is a fantastic lounge which feels like you're in a medieval castle hall that we could take our drinks and dog into.

Fantastic

Pros: Staff are fantastic and food and location is lovely

Cons: Broken patio door ..

Pros: Beautiful house on the river, with lovely views. Very friendly, helpful staff. The choice of non meat/ fish options at breakfast and dinner. Even vegan wine on the wine list! Our evening meal was one of the best meals we've had in a long while. Fresh, interesting and well presented. Warm and cosy decor. Easy to find and park. The dog bed in our room was thoughtful. We would recommend this hotel in a heartbeat.

Cons: Personally, I didn't feel the quality of the mattress and pillows matched the other qualities of the hotel.

Pros: This is our second visit to Maryculter House. The staff are helpful and friendly, the rooms are immaculate. Breakfast and evening meals are really nice. Another relaxing break.

Cons: N/A

A very comfortable hotel with an enjoyable eating experience.

Pros: A very warm comfortable hotel (snow outside) with much interesting history. Excellent room and bathroom with view over the river. Enjoyable evening meal and very good breakfast.

Cons: Bar area was rather limited and lounge had an open fire which was difficult as one of the party is asthmatic.

Fabulous stay in splendid setting

Pros: Fabulous location, very historic and interesting, great room with river view, excellent breakfasts and dinners.

Fabulous stay

Pros: Excellent location with deeply historic and interesting environment with a spectacularly historic building. Our room overlooked the river with splendid quiet views. Breakfasts and dinners were marvellous. Very recommended !!

Staying in a House of History

Pros: Room was very comfy with bath and shower. High quality fitments. Short stay so didnlt spend a great deal of time at the hotel.

Cons: The weather. As with all hotels you get stung badly if you are a solo traveller. Would have been nice to have had the fire going in the lounge. The road system in and around Aberdeen caused havoc with my sat nav due to the road closures so we seemed to take miles of detours to find the location.

Comfortable and historic hotel in a great location and with easy access by car into Aberdeen

Pros: Magnificent historic hall with real fire Friendly attentive staff Warm atmosphere Comfortable room with spacious modern bathroom Easy parking Wonderful location
