Hotel was clean and nicely decorated. Cooked breakfast was very good, including the haggis. Friendly staff. Conveniently located for visiting family and chilling at the beach. We didnt get to visit the Chocolate shop but definitely will next time!

The room (120) was lovely but Im certain I booked an extra large bed, as specified at £99 per night but our room had a basic sized double bed and having driven 8 hours, we were too tired to question it... Also there was a cooling generator outside the window so we had to keep the window closed. - not great in August. Sundays breakfast was a bit dried out and they could only offer white toast....

I would say this is an upper end 3star hotel. There ate a lot of facilities such as spa , swimming pool and sauna. Plenty of space and entertainment over the whole weekend not just the tribute night. can’t fault the staff as nothing was too much bother.

not too much really, some of the food was not as good as we would have liked but at the price it was reasonable.

It was pleasant my second visit as my family live in Ellon. Very clean comfortable and was made feel very welcome. My niece and young family joined us for breakfast next day. Staff were very accommodating x There was an error on the booking site saying we could check in earlier but the staff accommodated us regardless.

Nicely located wee hotel. Staff friendly and helpful. Good breakfast and decent bar with good selection of drinks. Proper tea n biscuits in room. Didn't use the restaurant other than for breakfast but judging by it's quality I'd be surprised if the food wasn't of an equally high standard.

Nothing.

nice clean room. very quite . the breakfast was very good

the shower was far to hot wouldn’t go below 35 degrees it was burning hot . we reported it to reception and couldn’t get it fixed so was told we could get a key for another room to shower in then go back to our room but that wasn’t suitable for us .so we just had to have very quick showers especially since we were there for a wedding not good at all

Staff we’re very friendly and welcoming. Could only book a twin room at point of booking however they offered us to a double room without us needing to ask. Really nice bar inside the hotel too.

The bed wasn’t the comfiest but the room had everything we needed.

The hotel is conviently placed for exploring Ellon, very friendly staff and the food was good. Room was a bit on the small side and the bathroom was cramped but apart from that had a good stay and would definitely go back.

The size of the room and we were directly above the bar which was noisy ( good job we were in it most of the night)

Staff were very friendly, room was lovely and clean, plenty of towels, bed very comfy, breakfast was also very good, location excellent.

Bathroom looked a lit tired, maybe a lick of paint would brighten it up

Location is ideal. Very quiet

Shame the carpark is across the road with a very steep entrance/exit as had a disabled person and walking is an issue.

Lovely view over the river. We has lunch in the lounge and the food was excellent. Breakfast was also very good.

Bathroom was a bit dated but very clean and powerful and hot shower.
