The waterside is great, it is very dated but the price reflects that. There’s nothing else around this part of Scotland that gives you this level of value for money. I wouldn’t go there expecting the world but it’s clean, has a nice restreraunt, a so with sauna, jacuzzi, pool and steam room and the staff are very attentive.
I love the place and will be going back next weekend.
If You enjoy golfing, stay at the waterside. You can walk to the most fantastic links course.
Plus, the hotel has a pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and a steam for after golf. Perfect.

If you want to feel like an inconvenience,,,,,
Food was nice, but the service, particularly on a morning made you feel like you were personally the reason they had to get out of bed. No organisation for seating you for breakfast, I was sat at Three tables at one point, before being served. Not to mention the big sigh I was greeted with when asking for a table for three. The place is aged, and not in a good way. Bar staff keep vanishing. It was a very hot week and the room was baking, no air con and a sign beside your window saying not to leave it open as the swallows might get in! Really not a good place to stay. It’s obvious why the other places get snapped up early.
It was gibe. Stayed there a few times so knew what I was getting

Very Friendly staff, clean rooms and quiet at night. Food is okay, not the worst but not amazing. Old hotel but pretty well kept. Decent little gym, pool was closed when I was there but looked decent.
As others have said, this hotel is in dire need of an update. Staff were pleasant enough, food was ok and decent value.
Paid £7 for WiFi and was only able to use it for about 20 minutes during my stay, even in the hotels main areas.
Breakfast was a £24!! Add on
Nice food, hotel needs a refurb! Room felt like a cell, maybe it’s meant to be shabby chic or something but painted breeze block walls are not relaxing!
On arrival at Waterside Hotel, found the car park was mostly filled with work vans, so wondered if it was the right choice for a couple, but on entering we found the staff friendly and helpful, the room was basic but clean, the TV was set on the dressing table blocking the mirror.
Breakfast in the morning was really good, with a great choice and tasty well cooked hot food and good speedy service, so good value overall.
Another nice stay at the Waterside Peterhead. Staff are all friendly which is an asset to this hotel. Food is very tasty at both evening meal and breakfast. Good value for money
Would recommend we stayed for 3 nights visiting family in the area could not fault in anything Staff were very attentive especially Jade on reception nothing was a bother
