Cottages in Inverurie

Absolutely beautiful hotel and grounds

Very comfortable and welcoming.

We loved our stay at the cottage, very cosy and safe!

I think it's a home away from home that everyone dreams of. Unless you own a stately home yourself and if so, you can share your experience with the rest of us! We've been at Pittodrie for about a week in May 2025. It felt like you're on set of a period drama when the props were taken straight out of an antique furniture shop. Maybe they really were? Forgot to ask. I loved the strenuous walks around the neighborhood, climbing Bennachie mountain to see the old Pictish fort and stopping right before reaching the top. The hotel had nothing to do with it, it was my fear of heights. But the staff definitely patched my underachievement wound with late-night drinks at the lounge. Seriously, plan for that, even if you're there just for day. Let yourself soak in the cozy atmosphere. Or stay in your room, have the ice bucket filled, nurse a drink of your choice in hand and read a book. No one will disturb you. Around Pittodrie: go to Castle Fraser to hear the whispers of the history again; take a look at 'them and us' French and Scottish impressionist exhibition at Aberdeen Art Gallery; feel the wind blowing in your face when you're up the hill at Dunnottar Castle ruins in Stonehaven. That's what we did, (Take a deep breath if you have fear of heights, too, hold the rail firmly, it's doable) The staff can book you a taxi to Inverurie, about 20 minutes' ride, and you go on from there by train. In at home: try every item on the menu (especially dill salmon and cajun fries with garlic butter); take a picture of the dish if you feel like it, it's an art form, compositionally on the plate as well as taste-wise; take a sneak peek at a Scottish wedding if you're lucky. Stay away if you've seen too many in your life. Have fun! ______ Many thanks to the staff. You made our stay unforgettable and we're coming back for more exploration.

The house was lovely and clean. Had everything and more that we needed. Ideal for a family trip!
