Staying in a House of History
Pros:

Room was very comfy with bath and shower. High quality fitments. Short stay so didnlt spend a great deal of time at the hotel.

Cons:

The weather. As with all hotels you get stung badly if you are a solo traveller. Would have been nice to have had the fire going in the lounge.
The road system in and around Aberdeen caused havoc with my sat nav due to the road closures so we seemed to take miles of detours to find the location.

Had high hopes and was let down by poor food and dirty crockery and linen
Pros:

It’s in a lovely spot - on the river. The main hall was nice in the evening but the staff struggled to make a decent fire and we had to fix it ourselves!

Cons:

It was really understaffed and the food was appalling

Comfortable Stay, Well Priced with Good Customer Service.
Pros:

Lovely setting, loads of history associated with the building. En-suite Bathroom had obviously been recently refitted and was both spacious and well appointed.

Staff were helpful and ‘went the extra mile’ to make us feel comfortable.

Cons:

Only real negative was the furniture in the room looked very worn (many scratches on the vanity unit) and there was a burn mark on the carpet where a previous resident had dropped an iron. Overall it had obviously been used for residents who had dogs and had the associated wear and tear.
