Gillian was a wonderful host that treated us like family. The location was fantastic, just a minute from the golf course. We were very well taken care of and it was a lovely and peaceful place to stay.

Everything was great. The entire hotel has been redone from stem to stern. In addition, Kevin the owner is the consummate host. He was always helpful, both with inquiries around the hotel but also abouot the general area of NE Scotland. Breakfast was top notch, as were the deserts we ended the day with. We didn't have lunch or dinner at the hotel so I can't comment, but I'm confident they're great because the place was very busy with locals.

The attention to details that would apply to different people. It’s obvious that Genny put a lot of emphasis into comforts of home that guests would like having. The breakfast was exceptionally delicious. Very fresh and again the details; best cut fruit as I’ve ever had, fresh eggs, homemade jam and freshly baked bread. The coffee was very good.

Everything was perfect from the beginning when we met Gillian to all the food that was in the fridge and the cleanliness of the apartment ! What a pleasure to take a bath after a day of hiking ! From the house, you can make a beautiful hike to see the beach and the New Slains Castle ! Thank you again for everything !

Very clean and wonderful attention to detail. Right by the river so lovely sleeping with the window open, listening to the water. Great position with two places to eat and the beach within walking distance. Gillian was very welcoming and left a very full continental breakfast. Highly recommended.
