Maryculter House is a beautiful, peaceful and quiet place to stay outside of Aberdeen.
Pros:

Check-in service was quick and efficient.

The room was clean and comfortable and very well appointed.
The bathroom was spacious and the rain showerhead was very nice.

The dinner service was excellent.
The food was okay.
The private room was cozy and perfect for our party of 7.

The breakfast was delicious

The grounds of the property were stunning, peaceful and quiet.

I will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Cons:

Property suddenly lost power during dinner for just a few seconds and that resulted in the bill taking a VERY, VERY long time to get to us. We searched around several times for waitstaff, but no one was around to let us know what happened. We were in no rush at all so it was no big deal, but it would have helped if someone came in and at least gave us an update on the situation.

Overall a lovely trip away to a lovely hotel
Pros:

Staff were lovely and helpful.
Would stay again .
Had the best steak i had in a long time.

Cons:

Breakfast on the first morning was a bit off
Burnt toast and over done eggs , and a long wait.
Breakfast the second morning was a much much better. That saved me giving a bad review.
The corridor door next to our room 215 is a bit of a safety hazard as it open towards 215, my wife was locking the door and corridor door burst open as a guest pushed through it nearly hitting her.

Calm and pleasant luxurious accommodation within easy accessible location near Aberdeen

Wonderful staff and hotel location and ambiance. Very relaxing location by the river and shrouded in history. The hotel itself is lovely and well maintained. The staff could not have been more helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was great, extensive menu with attentive service.

Cons:

All was good, and nothing was disappointing.

Maryculter hotel
Pros:

The Hotel called me prior to stay to ask if I wanted to make a dinner reservation. Cynics would say of course they would, they want your business. No the restaurant was busy and they wanted to ensure you had a chance of a meal at the end of a busy day. The Hotel also offered a go green gift. If you didn't want your room cleaning every day they gave an incentive to those who took it up ( it wasn't a lot, a drink from the bar)

Cons:

Nothing

Cons:

Breakfst was poor and if you order second dish than you need to pay 12£ for that! And that was not written! Only when we checked out they give us the bill.
