Aberdeenshire and Moray hotel rooms a the Macdonald Hotels

"This is my second time at Ardoe and I just love it there. You can’t get more picturesque, unique or enjoyable than staying in a small castle. The grounds are magical with highland cows over the hill and sheep grazing down the garden. The staff are lovely and the dining options are wonderful. Soapies Bar is a cozy’s and friendly gathering place. Hope to return again!"

"Some of our parties rooms were a little dated and the pillows were hard and lumpy but other than that could not fault a thing. It was so convenient for going into Aviemore and had great on site facilities for kids. "

"Had an amazing stay room was far to hot beautiful hotel "

"Breakfast was good. Beds were very comfortable. Internet good access. Staff all very pleasant."

"The suite was very nice and quiet,modern and comfortable in a good central area,one of the best we have been in, would highly recommend this hotel."

"Great stay!"

"The room is totally updated and huge. We had to use an oscillating fan to sleep because these old, historic hotels don’t have the infrastructure for air handling and the duvet/no separate top sheet made it warm. Gorgeous room. "

"Beautiful property and excellent service."

"Check in was effortless with a nice chat with the receptionist. I had upgraded my room for this visit and it was really comfortable with a large bed and a coffee machine, but other than this the standard room I usually have is very good. As ever I used the gym and the pool which are both really good for a hotel. Only problem was, as it's the school holidays the kids were enjoying themselves in the usually tranquil pool,lol. There is an adult only period in the pool from 7pm. Food and service in the restaurant was as good as ever. The hotel also has good size carpark which is charged for but not a big cost. This really is an ideal base for visiting Aberdeen. "
