        plumbing issues

        The breakfast buffet offered a great variety of local specialties.

        The plumbing issue in the bathroom was quite unpleasant and needs immediate attention.

        friendly staff
        high prices
        bathroom issue
        dated decor

        The location provided easy access for visiting family, and with a convenient on-site parking option, stress was minimal. Staff were notably friendly and attentive, making both the check-in and dining experiences enjoyable. The ribeye steak at dinner was a standout, though the prices leaned on the higher side. That said, breakfast offered great value, especially with the chef preparing special eggs on request.

        value breakfast

        Just a solid selection for shopping in Aberdeen with great value for money. The breakfast absolutely made up for the slow service we faced during dinner. Try to book your meals in advance to avoid delays.

        beautiful gardens
        family-friendly activities
        limited swimming pool access

        We loved the extensive grounds with beautiful gardens and walking trails, perfect for family outings! The location is great, allowing for trips to local attractions like Codona's amusement park which my kids enjoyed immensely. The staff were accommodating and made us feel welcome.

        In my wife’s opinion, the hotel could improve the swimming pool access for families. It was often too full, making it difficult for us to enjoy it during our stay.

        comfy rooms
        excellent service
        great food
        slow check-in

        Had a fantastic time with friends! We visited Murcar Links for some golf and spent a day at Codona's amusement park. The hotel was in a good location with comfy rooms and excellent service. Plenty of parking and great food at the restaurant topped it off. Definitely a spot to consider for a fun getaway!

        One downside was the check-in process. it was a bit slow and could use some better organization. Our room was nice but could have been a tad cooler since it felt warm at times.
