Have perviosly been more than 5 times. This visit at Twixmas 2011 and New Year 2012 Breaks turned into major disappointment. Published information on major events cancelled. Hogmany Gala Dinner was shocking for 8 of our party of 9 people. Most of the previous Staff were fired or left leaving a gap with poorly trained Staff coping with great difficulty... More

Following a complaint I made to staff on the morning of the 18th December following our pretty much disastrous stay with them, it was my expectation that the general manager was to email me with a response on his return on Monday. I have as yet not received a response from them which given the issues below is bordering on... More

Staff very helpful, rooms clean and tidy. Food good, in particular chef's selection. Well equipped gymnasium/spa/pool. Hotel could do with a lick of paint (which is in progress) other than that no complaints. Good location, just outside Inverurie. 20 Minutes from the centre of Aberdeen-straight road in/out. Lot's places to visit within easy reach, in particular 'Huntly' Shortbread factory, shortbread... More

Myself and my husband stayed at this hotel this weekend for a wedding my husband was Bestman at. Although we were initially grateful (to Lindsey in reception and the very helpful South African gentleman) for being able to get into our room before 2pm, we were gobsmacked when we arrived in our room (No. 402). It was not at all... More

Dear Murron 75, Thank you for your recent comments regarding Thainstone House Hotel. Naturally, I was very disspointed to read that you were not entirely satisfied with your stay. It is quite frustrating that you were allocated one of the few remaining unrefurbished rooms in the hotel. We continue to invest heavily in our property and people to drive the... More

There are a lot of 'Country House' type hotels to choose from in Aberdeenshire and Thainstone has been around a while. Sadly I dont think much investment has been put into keeping up with modern hotel standards. At first glance it looks all Ok. Rooms were clean and spacious but as you spend a little time in the room, you... More
