We arrived late at night and we must have gotten the last room, about as big as a closet. Dust an inch thick around the baseboards, toilet didnt work, no water pressure or hot water. The food was a bad buffett. The hotel definetly needs a gut rehab. The hosts were very nice but I would not let my dog... more

12 months on and things do appear to be looking up at the Spittal. On arrival we thought that nothing had changed, disgusting overflowing bins in the toilets, outside, rubbish bags were piled high near to the front door, kitchen staff smoking outside in full view of guests and there was just a general air of the place being unclean,... more

I stayed here last week with my husband, 4 year old daughter and 2 friends. Our friends had stayed here 2 years ago and said it was brill under the old management, lets just say they dont share the same enthusiasm for the place anymore!! We arrived at the hotel about 3.30 and after waiting for 1 1/2 hours we... more

This was once my favourite hotel and it saddens me to see it going from a very friendly, well run place to one that makes Fawlty Towers seem like the Ritz. Arrived at hotel to find the hotel was fully booked and they had no record of booking. Staff were completely unhelpful and uncommunicative thereafter. We waited at reception for... more

We renamed it the Spittoon of Glenshee though we had much ruder ideas too. Cramped grubby rooms, unspeakably appalling food, and staff who hadn't got a clue and didn't care much either. It is... more

Arrived late friday to find out they had a "Young farmers weekend" wihich was very loud and some people left after one night. It is very basic and old fashioned we payed more to stay here than in a very nice hotel last year not far away.On sunday morning they made no attempt to clean the bar area up. The... more

We booked in advance for 2 rooms for 2 nights for our family of 5. On arriving late in the evening, we discovered they had no record of our booking other than our name. The one positive comment I have about this hotel is that the staff were accommodating and managed to rearrange furniture so we did actually have a... more

As a Tour driver on coaching holidays I have stayed at the Spitle on a few occasions(not enough in my opinion) Neither my passangers or myself have ever had a bad thing to say.Its location is perfect if you like walking as there are various walks from the hotel.Braemar,balmoral and various places of interest are all nearby. The hotel itself... more
