“Set within seven acres of gardens, this historic mansion offers dedicated event spaces ideal for business or weddings. The grand old house retains a Victorian ambiance, and I appreciate the award-winning Scottish cuisine, alongside modern comforts like complimentary Wi-Fi. A convenient location near Robert Gordon University and Aberdeen Beach makes it a smart choice.”

classic stay

beautiful groundsclassic decorbroken window
the grounds were beautiful. the interior design was classic with highland decor. the breakfast service was good and the staff were pleasant. there was a doggy bag available nearby, next to a disused railway line which is excellent for dog walking.
i noticed cobwebs in my room, and the window was broken. it would not close properly. i called services for around 30 minutes without an answer, so i had to sleep in a cold room that night.

my superior king room was spacious and clean. the bed was comfortable and provided a good night's sleep. i liked the traditional furnishings which complemented the building's character.
