Perfect place for a calm retreat

Staff was incredibly friendly and lovely. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Breakfast was really good and the room was perfect with the gigantic bath! We will definitely come back during another trip to Scotland.

Underwhelmed

Dinner good, but exspensive. Staff friendly. Bed comfy which you should expect at a 4Star hotel.

Certain areas need to be revamped, breakfast room had ripped chairs, and rotten window frames, dirty skirting boards. Our room hadn’t been cleaned properly. The sliding wardrobe doors were stiff to open and close, they made a load noise. Tea facilities could be better placed, they were inside the wardrobe. The TV was not really watchable as you could not get a signal. The shower was substandard. Breakfast below par, was charged a £7 service charge for eggs Benedict, quite a few items had a surcharge which I don’t think is acceptable, when your paying quite a substantial amount to stay there.

way over rated. very big disappointment

-the history and artifacts displayed in several place in the property. - the park surrounding it.

a) the breakfast at £25/ person for 1.25 toasts, 1 small piece of butter, a dry omelette, 3 spoonful of plain yogurt with 1 strawberry and 5 blueberries is a pure ripoff! b) the cleanliness of the bath room and room. c) service at breakfast place is way below par and the lady running the place is the most unfriendly we have seen in our many trips abroad.

The perfect stay and greeted with the warmest of welcomes by the wonderful staff. Superb.

We were blown away by this Hotel and was the perfect location for our visit to Bennachie Forest for a work trip. The staff were amazing and our room was really comfortable and Immaculately clean. The only little downside was the food was a little on the expensive side however it was excellent quality and the service was brilliant. Will definitely be back.

the hotel is in own beautiful grounds, it’s just a pity the inside of the hotel is not to the standard of recently upgra

the food and staff were really good

Our daughter got married at Pittodrie House 20 years ago and we felt there had been no upgrades to the rooms or decor in the public places, that made it look very tired. The hotel was very quiet at the time we were there and the room we got had a view of rooftops multiple pipes and wires and not particularly appealing, also something was banging outside the window all night, we did report it to reception and told the problem would be attended too

Feb 2023

we enjoyed our stay but will not be returning very soon if at all.

all the staff especially the receptionists were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good but not exceptional .We did not have dinner as it was very expensive for what was on offer and the drink in the bar was expensive as well.The room was really nice and very spacious and quiet.

the only thing to complain of was the price of food and drink and as the hotel was quite isolated there was nothing near to try instead.

Feb 2023

The staff were really friendly and helpful, prices for a cup of tea - outrageous!

The location was superb - rolling hills and landscaped gardens. The breakfast was good too although for something as simple as eggs florentinve there was a supplement of £7!

The cost of room service. £12.00 for an egg mayonnaise sandwich is ridiculous but then with a tray charge of £7.95 this meant the best part of £20 for a sandwich! My sister paid over £30 for 5 soft drinks most of which were herbal teas. A pint of diet coke was £6. These prices would not be out of place in London but Pittodrie is not in London and we all deemed them excessive.

Our stay was severely interrupted by the fire alarm repeatedly activating and smoke-filled rooms.

The room was large. The breakfast was reasonable.

The hotel is badly in need of refurbishment. An old fireplace in the bedroom had small pieces of stone falling into the grate. The carpets were stained. The paintwork was poor throughout the hotel and windows were painted shut. The fire alarms sounded as smoke from the open fire in the dining room filled the hotel. The instructions to cancel the alarm were inadequate and the staff had no experience / training in how to manage the fire alarm system. Dates on electrical appliances indicated PAT testing years out of date. The suspect chimney had visible signs of external cracks, smoke damage and blocked vents in the chimney pot. The fire alarm was not linked to the fire station.

Staff-exceptional, especially Susan. She's a keeper! Presented the property well and was a delight

They were very accommodating with a snack upon our check in as we traveled most of the day and did not have a reservation for dinner. The breakfast was nice and worth the money. The dinner was a bit short on value yet presented well and was cooked with a nice flavor.

Dinner could be a bit better for the price.

Superb

The setting, the staff and the food.

Amenities. Not enough things to do within the property. If they had leisure activities (shooting, golf, archery, 4x4 excursions, etc) this would be a 10 hands down.
