Beautiful hotel!
Pros:

Really cozy hotel with historical significance. Beautiful common room with working fire place. Many wild bunnies on the premises. À la carte beakfast was good too (though nothing beats a buffet).

Schön mit kleinen Mängeln
Pros:

Es handelt sich um ein gepflegtes, über 800 Jahre altes Haus am Unterlauf des River Dee und wird wegen dieser Lage wohl häufig von Gästen gebucht, die zum Angeln nach Schottland kommen. Unser Standard-Zimmer war nichts besonderes, aber durchaus komfortabel und verfügte über ein großes und bequemes Bett. Wegen der ebenerdigen Lage mit Blick zum Haupteingang mussten wir leider die Vorhänge zum Umkleiden auch tagsüber schließen.
Das Haus liegt zwar etwas abseits, aber für einen Ausflug nach Stonehaven und Dunottar Castle sehr günstig.

Cons:

Das Personal, insbesondere an der Bar, schien uns etwas überfordert. Weder verfügte man über eine Whisky-Karte noch konnte man uns die entsprechenden Preise nennen. Auch ein Wischtuch hätte der Theke gut getan. Einige Servicekräfte sowohl beim Frühstück als auch im Restaurant machten einen abgehetzten Eindruck.

a lovely weekend break for my birthday and even the weather was great
Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful provided a special treat as it was my birthday. lovely room and super breakfast

Cons:

usually 2 people in a double room so 2 chairs would have improved comfort so that one person did not have to sit on bed

as an older couple we were unsure about the single step down into the bathroom

Nice quiet hotel with nice art inside
Pros:

People have been nice and beds comfortable. Breakfast was very tasty and variety was quite good. It has a good parking area and is near the main road but still quiet. We even got a free beer for choosing not to have our room cleaned every day. The old building and the paintings displayed inside are very impressive.

Cons:

Netflix was not able to be used on TV and that was a pity. Dinner was okay but quite high priced in comparison to the variety and quality. Anyhow it was nice to choose for dining. Breakfast fruit was not refilled properly in my opinion.

No hesitation in saying that I would stay there again, 100%.
Pros:

The room was fairly large with a comfortable bed - all positive.

I ate breakfast and dinner each morning/night - both very really good and well presented.

The hotel's in a lovely location, on the river and opposite a golf course. Maybe next time I'll play the course.

Cons:

As mentioned the food was very good, however there was a limited choice once factoring in those of vegan/veggie persuasion.
