Room was lovely and breakfast was great. Service in the evening was very poor. Waited half an hour for drinks for our meal and then again at the bar. Food was sent back as it was cold in the middle. They returned it, still cold in the middle. Receptionist at check out was great and compensated us for the poor service. That sort of service would make us return.

This was a lovely quick stay. It’s an interesting hotel. The old Lodge at the front with a huge number of rooms well designed into the rear. Our room was excellent probably fairly recently renovated exec room with some thoughtful extras in it. Great huge bed that was very comfy. Breakfast was plentiful with some great choices. We took a walk over to pool and spa area. Some info about this in room and on visiting would have added. Overall for what we paid, this was great value and I would recommend a stay here

Country and city retreat with loads of charm!
We had a great stay for two nights at Ardoe House. The facilities were lovely, staff super kind and friendly, and food was great. Its just a short 15 drive/cab into the heart of Aberdeen but totally peaceful and gorgeous grounds so felt like an escape to nature in a lovely manor home!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The service in the bar was beyond poor. Every table we sat at was dirty and the bar was full of dirty glasses. You had to stand in a queue to get served by the 1 member of staff that looked like she would rather be anywhere else…. We ordered food and be the description in the menu (and the price) it was going to be gourmet cuisine…it arrived like warm and - at best - was about half as good as the slop you’d get from a witherspoons. This will be why they insist on taking FULL payment for the food when you order. A pint of lager and a G&T was SUPER EXPENSIVE after you waited in line for 10 mins to get it. I was embarrassed to be local to the area seeing foreign holiday makers arrive…. Never again will I stay here and I advise any one to stay well clear unless they enjoy overpaying for terrible food and service.

The property was full of character, lovely helpful staff and quiet throughout the night , the breakfast was exceptional. Unfortunately when we went to our room it smelled of dogs which was awful. This was rectified quickly and another room was offered. The reception staff were very accommodating and helpful about this matter .

Relaxing weekend in Aberdeenshire
A warm greeting from reception on arrival, we had booked a pet friendly room which had a surcharge, the room was the furthest from reception but had access to a fire door into the garden which was a plus, the bedroom however needed investment - wall paper peeling off and paintwork with marks all over, the bathroom wasn't clean, iron and ironing board didn't work. The service from the staff all over the hotel was welcoming, in the restaurant on Friday night we enjoyed our food with the exception of the smoked tofu and beetroot salad, the tofu wasn't smoked and the dressing was very oily - shame as it sounded so nice. Buffet breakfast was nice with the exception of coffee and sausages. The grounds are wonderful we enjoyed a lovely sunset on Friday night.

Hotel is lovely staff where friendly.. rooms are great.. the only downside hence the 4 stars was it wasn’t the cleanest., but that to me is housekeeping not been the best.. I worked in hospitality for many years and know it isn’t easy to get decent staff.. but don’t let that put you off.! Pity they weren’t nearer as I run a cleaning company and would be sending a team over asap to sort out the cleaning.. will be back when we are next up that way
