Starbucks in Aberdeenshire

Avoid like a Covid Out Break, First impressions of the out side was what the Hell have we booked , its tired and outdated exterior greated us, As we walked in to the main entrance we were greeted with a closed reception desk with a closed blind and a smell I have never encountered before, and I've done a few jobs in my life. We made the decision to ask at the pub next door about our booking and to be fair the bar made was nice I can't falt her, she gave us the room key and told us where to go but they weren't serving food this night, thank God the local Indian restaurant got our custom. On inspection of the building it was as tired on the inside as it was on the outside. The floor was moving in places under the carpet. Fire door not closing on the landing and the fire escape door on our floor would need to be kicked open in the event of something happening. The room was clean but am glad am close to my partner as the toilet door in our room slid close and we had to put the TV up loud when It was in use. We never went for breakfast, so we could make a quick escape in the Morning. It's well over priced for what you get.

Booked the spa package for my birthday, the house itself was beautiful and our room was clean. The food however was to a very poor standard For what we expected the service very slow and zero table checks, waited a while for drinks. the music is so low we felt we had to talk almost at a whisper as everyone could hear each other. The spa facilities were awful, hottub wasn't working, the indoor pool was murky and very, decided we definitely were not going to use it. Upon asking if we could use the outside hottub we were told no as this needs booking. Other guests stated the same issues. It wasn't a great stay. However the manager was very understanding and helped us resolve the poor experience, still disappointed as it put a dampner on my birthday celebrations.

Excellent breakfast as always.....

Food good, cleanliness wasn't upto much today though.

Very nice staff! Great breakfast, it was delicious and freshly cooked! Cleanliness was not enough… spider webs in the room and other things that were dirty. Room size was good. Unfortunately there is no elevator...
