Arbuthnott Hotels

"It is a beautiful property on the banks of the Dee. Our room was large and beautiful, with a great bathroom and an amazing shower. We did not eat in the restaurant, but the staff recommended a great place in Peterculter (the Ploughman) that was excellent. The staff was great - the only negative for us was the room was too hot, making it difficult to sleep. Otherwise, great!"

"Everything was OK it was just an overnight pit stop "

"Really lovely locally owned and run hotel. Our kingsize upgraded room was stunning, and massive. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The homemade shortbread in the room was incredible, and they even refilled it when we scoffed it all! Breakfast was tasty, and the hot food was made to order. The on-site gym “The Unit” was really great and fully included in the room rate, which felt like a treat! They are clearly modernising the hotel to an high standard, and as far as we saw only the room corridors and stairs were still to be upgraded. The parking was free and plentiful, and it’s a great base for exploring the surrounding area. All the staff were exceptionally lovely & friendly (with the one exception of the older gent who checked us in who treated us like an inconvenience, and shouldn’t really be working in hospitality) "

"You will not find a better staff than at Cove Bay. We can not say enough about the friendliness and kindness we were shown. The views were lovely and breakfast and dinner were both wonderful. We would stay there again anytime we were in Aberdeen."

"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."

"Lovely room but sadly no hot water in the morning to have showers. Staff apologised but didn’t seem to take onboard that our stay was spoiled.Food at lunchtime was delicious but breakfast wasn’t the same standard. "

"Beautiful setting, comfortable room, great breakfast spread. Perfect for a short stay"

"Lovely B&B for an overnight. Stayed in room 7 bed very comfortable, lovely clean bathroom modern and spotless, tea making facilities good only down side was the roller blind was not blackout and there were no curtains so it was very light very early. Kitchen next door had plenty of crockery, glasses and pots should you wish to make yourself a meal. Breakfast selection good although no brown bread only white. Good selection of teas and coffees and plenty of yoghurt etc in the fridge for you to help yourself too. All in all a fantastic night and worth every penny. Thanks Anna x"
