"Our 9-night stay in Scotland was incredibly relaxing and comfortable. We were so impressed by the thoughtful touches at Aulton Stables, including fresh fruit, milk, bread, eggs and chocolates on arrival. The bathroom was also well stocked with toiletries, including body wash, shampoo, conditioner and cotton pads. The kitchen was fully equipped with high-quality appliances, including a toaster, kettle, hob and dishwasher. There’s no traditional oven, but the combination microwave/air fryer/oven...

Top Crathes Castle and Gardens Hotel Reviews

Number 44 Hotel & Bar

8/10 Good

"For a Superior room it was very small and lacked storage. Very limited hanging space and 2 tiny drawers. En-suite was cramped, couldn’t both get in at the same time and a few broken tiles. The staff were brilliant, nothing too much trouble and always happy to chat. Food was great, really tasty and plenty of it. Apparently the hotel is being upgraded and I would definitely go back, the location is ideal."

Holiday Inn Aberdeen West by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was as you'd expect for a Holiday Inn. No frills but perfectly fine and reasonably priced. Great to have free parking as it bugs me when you have to pay parking as an extra, so that ruled out many Aberdeen hotels. Breakfast had a good choice of items and staff were friendly."

Village Hotel Aberdeen

10/10 Excellent

"A great hotel for a quick getaway. Cleaned to a high standard with very comfortable beds and even the basic room has plenty of space and good lighting. Hairdryer and iron were already there. The pool and gym are just the cherry on top and the surrounding area is great for a walk. A perfect autumn getaway and one of the few hotels still worth booking, it looks exactly as described -you can tell they keep up with maintenance. Very polite staff, too. Just a few minutes away is a bus stop to get into the centre of Aberdeen, so access is straight forward."

Leonardo Hotel Aberdeen

"Superbly located, lovely rooms and great staff"
