    cozy room
    delicious breakfast
    small bathroom

    Had a lovely time staying here, especially enjoying the cozy room and a delicious breakfast that kicked off our day perfectly. The evenings were super relaxing, with live music and a nice walk along the river right outside. The only thing was that the bathroom was a bit on the small side, but it didn't take away from our overall experience. 🌟

    scenic view
    inconsistent service
    poor soundproofing

    Scenic views of the River Dee, unique room features, cozy bar atmosphere

    The inconsistent service speed during busy periods left much to be desired!!! Lack of sound insulation in rooms meant I could hear every noise from outside and neighboring guests, disrupting my peace!!!

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    Hotel right next to the River Dee, the fine views took my breath away! The food was just divine, especially the full Scottish breakfast, the best I've ever tasted! And let's not forget the dog-friendly vibe.

    fabulous food

    Recommend it for food lovers

    The food was fabulous. There was this amazing Angus steak that I wouldn't mind cooking myself on a good day! Plus, the staff were honestly the friendliest bunch, almost made me forget I wasn't home.

    Look, it wasn't exactly a bargain, but for what you get, it's still acceptable.

    Really good food and cozy atmosphere

    The food was excellent, especially the breakfast with a fabulous variety of local ingredients. The staff were friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. My only minor concern was the size of the room.

    comfy room
    nice bar area
    waited for dessert

    Cozy with great service!

    Had a really nice stay! The check-in was super smooth and the guy who helped us was really friendly. The room was comfy and we slept like logs. Enjoyed chilling in the bar area after dinner. Only thing was that we had to wait a bit for dessert, but the sticky toffee pudding was delish!
