Hotels with Swimming Pool in Aboyne, Scotland

"This “spa” hotel has no right to be called that. The leisure facilities were disgusting. When I arrived I was met with an employee complaining that she wasn’t at work but had to clean up as it hadn’t been done. There were wires hanging out of walls, broken wood in the changing rooms, wet paint on walls and doors. Zero warning signs! Broken tiles everywhere and the swimming pool was mouldy and had broken tiles on the steps entering the pool and a hole next to the jacuzzi where someone could easily get a foot stuck. Steam room- gross! Sauna was dirty and broken, rotting wood with visible nails sticking up! Outside the hot tub was empty and not working. The list goes on and I don’t have enough room to write everything! The nappy bin was stinking and clearly wasn’t emptied regularly! The gym had new equipment but again, dusty and dirty. Absolutely shocking! I complained to the manager and she made excuses for everything! We told her it was dangerous to even open the facilities to the public! If this was being inspected it would have to be closed, I’m certain of it. We got shown to our room which was in the roof. There was an awful damp/mould patch above the bed on the sloping ceiling. Creepy pictures and rotting windows! This room should not even be used until the ceiling was fixed! We moved to a different room and had a neighbour with a barking dog! We have photos! This hotel needs to close or have a massive renovation. Awful and ruined our day and night!"

"Great food and hospitality "

"Good hotel at budget price "

"The receptionist was far from welcoming - very matter of fact. I enquired to see if there was any cancellation with a dog friendly room - shrugged her shoulders and that was a no - not even I am sorry. Bar staff where we could take a dog was over the top - as we walked in announced to whole bar we were walking in - there was a very loud child approx 9 yrs old who he was encouraging to be even louder - we moved table. We have stayed here a few times but will not be back."
