The best restaurants in North East Scotland

Gluten Free Fish and Chips, just what we were looking for. They were great and we sat outside in the sun and ate them and enjoyed the view out to sea. Will definitely return if we're ever in Stonehaven again.

Family late birthday meal, was 4 of us, starters for 2, mains for 4 and all 4 had puddings. Absolutely lovely meal, was so delicious. Cocktails to, would highly recommend.

Really cool to visit the starting point for Brewdog in this smaller venue. Hazy Jane was perfect too.

We stayed at 8 different hotels and guest houses during our last 2-week visit to Scotland. Unfortunately, this was our least favorite. We liked that there is plenty of onsite parking, restaurant, and bar. Check-in was quick; but the layout has you walking through the bar and restaurant to get to the check-in desk. Rather awkward for those walking through; and mildly distracting for those enjoying a drink or meal. The room itself was spacious and I liked the trouser press. However, signage in the room requests you keep the bathroom door closed when showering to prevent the fire alarm from going off. This turns the bathroom literally into a steam room. Everything; and I mean everything gets wet/damp, and stays that way. The hallways are very narrow and have a moldy smell. The bar downstairs is well stocked; but the bartenders are unable to mix a drink. I don't mean they lack the skills - but refuse. I love a good Scotch; but my wife occasionally prefers a mixed cocktail. Not possible here.

Had a lovely lunch seated in the bar. Food was freshly cooked: Haddock and chips; Duck and sweet potato fries. Portions were sizeable and filling. Washed down with a glass of white and rose wine. Service was good. Price fair.

4 pieces of chicken in the korma. Absolute joke. Rude staff and owners are greedy horrible people. Avoid and go to any other restaurant that is better

Beautiful spot by the river to eat, wonderful views to the falls, plenty choice on the menu. I had large breakfast which was excellent and service was quick and staff friendly.

The hotel is actually fine. Everything is perfect. But their neighbours are terrible room on the 11 side ! There is so much noise between 12-4 you can’t sleept. They are throwing around metal pipes and other stuff. I tried to call the police and the reception in the middle of the night but it did not help.

Great clean place to stay and staff go that extra mile to help you feel welcome

Nice cocktails and good service would definitely go back

Absolutely delicious lunch the venison burger with chips was superb, the Cajun chicken flatbread was ok but could have done with a sauce as it was a bit dry. Marked this down to a 4 as the venison burger was served on a slate mat, why not serve it on a plate. Staff all very helpful & efficient & the service was excellent.

Food is absolutely fantastic and could not fault it. We haven't been for a few years but enjoyed our return visit till i went to pay the bill, because of covid they were only accepting cards (or preferred cards) so that's all i had with me. When presented with the card machine all you can see is "Add 15%, 20% or 25% gratuity" on the display screen!! and with the waitress standing holding the machine in front of you and because of covid she didn't seem to want me touching it more than i had to, so you are put under pressure to leave a tip. Now i always usually leave a tip after a meal but this pressure is off putting especially with the percentage figures displayed and this will probably put me off visiting again unfortunately.

Best place when the train running late

We went to have lunch to celebrate a qualification my youngest daughter achieved recently. Although we have stayed in the inverurie area for over 40years this was our first visit to the hotel. We would class our visit and meal as exceptional. My daughter and I shared the Sunday lunch platter with additional cauliflower and cheese and pigs in blankets whilst my wife the vegetarian nut roast. The food was to the highest standard and freshly cooked. I finished with the pineapple crumble which again was first class. The staff were pleasant and attentive. Let's say it will not be another 40 years before we return.

Delicious food, attentive staff, pleasant surroundings.
