Second time here. And each time we left extremely satisfied. Food delicious, service excellent and beautiful surroundings. And to delight an Aberdonian even more it is super value even without the loyalty card! We’ll definitely be back sometime soon hopefully when the weather has improved so we can fully appreciate the hotel and the grounds.

Not impressed by my starter, duck bon bons, sauce was very bland! Steak was exceptional though, beautiful crust and medium rare, fantastic (shame they forgot about the sauce I ordered until I reminded them, by the time that arrived things were not at the best temperature !). My wife had smoked cheese soufflé which she enjoyed along with her main of Sea Bream. Sadly something she ate disagreed with her as she was sick several times during the night, which is not like her at all. As the venue and decor is exceptional ( we stayed over) I so wanted to be impressed by this place but i was left feeling rather disappointed. Dinner service was poor in places but the breakfast team were spot on!

We enjoyed our visit but we had some small issues. My husband thought his plates could have been hotter. As older guests we appreciated it when the "Christmas "music's volume was turned down.
