Its dog-friendly approach signals a warmth that extends throughout the hotel, particularly within the Bothy Restaurant, where local ingredients shine, and modern amenities coexist with a relaxed atmosphere; a balanced experience in Aberdeen's West End.”

Really good Service and Great Food!

efficient service early check-in great food
The staff were cute and efficient. Wendy's courtesy call before our trip showed great attention. Linda and Emma ensured an early check-in. This helped us prepare for an event. The food was AMAZING!!!
Parking was hard to find. It was almost always full . This situation required a bit more planning.

Wonderful Wedding Weekend Stay

special staff fine venue good food smooth day
We had our wedding here. All staff. The venue is fine. It is classy and modern. I found the food and cocktails good. Our day went smoothly, and guests had a blast.
The narrow toilet roll provided in the bathroom seemed like a cost-saving measure.

There is a separate room designated for the wedding party. It is used for breakfast and getting ready simultaneously. Function suites are comfortable. This setup allows ample time with guests instead of mingling with the public.
