Zu teuer für das, was es ist.
Pros:

Das Bett war gemütlich und das Bad gut ausgestattet

Cons:

Das Hotel macht im Großen und Ganzen einen in die Jahre gekommenen Eindruck. Der Teppichboden schließt nicht bündig ab, die Badezimmertüre ist an einer Ecke aufgequollen und das Türschloss wackelt und macht keinen sicheren Eindruck. Die Zimmerschlüssel waren an einem billigen Plastikanhänger, was dem Preis nicht gerecht wird. Die Atmosphäre beim Check-In, so wie dem Abendessen und Frühstück war sehr steif. Das Personal wirkt ungeschult und gestresst, obwohl wenige Gäste vor Ort waren. Uns hat sich die Frage gestellt, ob das Personal unausgebildet ist oder woher die Hektik und Planlosigkeit kommt. Beispielsweise beim Frühstück wurde die Bestellung mit Textblock und einem orangenen Textmarker aufgenommen, was höchst unprofessionell wirkt, das Putzmittel stand auf dem Frühstückstisch und auf dem Weg zum Buffet musste ich Platz für die Bedienung machen. In einem Hotel dieser Preisliga erwarten wir eine andere Behandlung. Zudem haben wir am Morgen unserer Abreise gesehen, dass wir einen überhöhten Preis für den Aufenthalt gezahlt haben. In der Folgenacht wäre der Aufenthalt knapp 50£ günstiger gewesen. Das sind 30% weniger und für uns ist die Preisgestaltung sehr undurchsichtig.

Great location , room was comfortable .Good value for B&B but dinner options limited and overpriced
Pros:

Lovely location with our riverside room .Comfortable bed and the large shower was nice .
Lots of history with the old part of Maryculter House and had a post meal cup of tea in the Great Hall which was interesting

Cons:

Meals in the Poachers Rest were ok but the main course choice was quite limited if you didn't want grill options or vegetarian . Of the remaining mains ( 3 options) two of those were approaching £40 if you had with hand cut chips , and the value option was Battered haddock and chips at £20 which was very tasty .
Breakfast was however very nice and overall the staff were very attentive and helpful .

Hope to return some day.
Pros:

The staff at Maryculter House were very attenuative = when you needed them. The food in the dining room was delicious, and the surroundings and grounds were immaculately kept. The 800th year of the original owners, the Knight's Templer, had passed recently, and the hotel had kept the design and look of the newer parts of the building and it's atmosphere very well indeed. Wonderful, comfortable beds, good food, friendly staff. One can't ask for more when they stay away from home. Maryculter House, gets ten out of ten in my book.
