Search Farmstay in Auchenblae

"Ardoe House is an affordable, average hotel in a grand former home. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The breakfast buffet has a wide selection with the cooked food being particularly flavoursome. The drawing room is a nice area to settle down in, despite the peculiar elevator music. The bar is well stocked with knowledgeable, if a little indifferent, bartenders on hand to create cocktails. The pool and fitness area are in a separate building and are in fact the community’s local leisure point, so it lacks the quietude you might expect from a hotel-only setup. In all, the property is rather tired. It’s got wear and gloominess in places. The staff are doing their best to keep the wheels turning, but they all look broken, apart from those on reception who are energetic and very helpful. It’s essentially a 3-star that has pipped into the 4-star bracket because there’s a pool next door. For the price though, it is a pleasant enough stay, and would serve you well for a night or two."

"Breakfast had a good selection. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was lovely. "

"Fantastic ambiance"

"The beds were a little stiff, but manageable. The room could use a little extra maintenance and small upgrades to help make it look more presentable. There was some mold on the bath ceiling and the shower grout looks old and dirty. However, overall I can’t degrade the place too much because the place was generally clean and the LOCATION is great. It’s hard to beat staying walking distance from a farm and the beach at the same time. Also, the grounds looked great and customer service was excellent."

"Beautiful hotel with lots of history"

"The hotel was in a fantastic location and most of the staff were helpful and fairly friendly. The toilets are not easily accessible for guests with mobility problems and the vegan meal was dreadful."

"The Chester in Aberdeen is a perfect boutique hotel. Well appointed rooms, quality bedding and nice toiletries, coffee maker, shortbreads, and a fine restaurant on site."
