“Only ate here”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

Had a very nice meal of fab goat cheese and red onion tartlet, followed by venison stew with the biggest portion of mashed tatties I've seen in a long time. Service was fast, friendly and unobtrusive. Would be quite happy to return next time I'm on way to/from Aberdeen.

“Gem of Argus”

I have stayed here on a number of occasions and the accommodation and food are first class. I have never eaten a bigger breakfast in my life, and it keeps me going all the way through until the evening meal.
Friendly staff and David has a wry sense of humour!

“A Good Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Ihave stopped here 3-4 times over the years - the main reason i first stopped was the location just off the main road to Aberdeen - its a long drive from Birmingham, however i have kept returning because of :-

The rooms are comfortable and warm - somewhere to relax after a lot of driving.

Food is what i would describe as basic good food - the breakfasts especialy are the ideal start to the day - well cooked and presented by a lady of senior years that knows that a good full breakfast will set you up for the day,

The Bar area is small - but friendly - try the guiness its well kept.

Do not expect a Holiday Inn type of hotel - this is run by from what i remember a local owner with local friendly staff - however like anything you have to make the effort.

The only gripe i have is the room television - perhaps a little investment in Sky wouldnt go amiss - but then again i was in scotland...

“Probably the least welcoming establishment in Britain”

Although located next to the main road south from Aberdeen passing trade certainly isn't welcome here.Over the years I have had several appalling experiences at the hands of the staff or owners which have been similar to those I have heard from others.If you want a true Fawlty Towers experience try turning up there with coach party in anything approaching high spirits you will soon be put in your place!!!!
