Fordoun Hotel and Spa

The décor. The land. The people. This place is beautiful. The best part is the family feeling. Felt like home. So much love and friendliness. The food was tasty. My daughter ordered the hake twice and I did the same with the trout- twice in a row.

From the initial visit in November, to check-out after my daughter's wedding, you gave us impeccable service! Your banqueting team is 6 star and with Lungi on point with absolutely EVERYTHING, you have a winning formula. Our family connection to you is now forged!! Bravo!

What a beautiful farm which is meticulously kept. It definitely has Scottish charm. Will recommend it to some friends immediately. A delightful Chinese family. Jules was so warm and welcoming. Thank you. The best aspect is the drive in through an Avenue of pin oaks!!!

An absolutely amazing experience at Fordoun. The spa was so relaxing, the room was cozy and clean, and the food was delicious. The staff was kind and accommodating throughout- especially appreciated as my wife is pregnant. We'll definitely be back!

My partner and I were fortunate enough to experince a magnificent stay at Fordoun over the past weekend. Driving into the estate is breathtaking, the eastern is beautifully kept, rolling green hills, the dam, massive trees and immaculate gardens. We were met with immediate service at the reception, I think we were welcomed by at least 10 staff members, all with the biggest smiles and happiest attitudes. We were taken to our room which we instantly felt comfortable in, the bathroom had a huge bath, marble surfaces, fluffy robes, delish coffee, the biggest and comfiest bed. We were pretty tired from traveling, the setting was intimate and beautifully put together. The view from our room looked over the rolling grass fields where the cows peacefully roam around. The room felt extra cozy as the midlands mist came in, we were warm and so welcome. Our culinary experience at Fordoun was outstanding to say the least. Focus is on locally sorced ingredients, served abundantly with the perfect balance of fine dining creativity. The bistro has an incredible wine list, beautiful fire places decorated in fine art pieces. Our waitrons were incredibly knowledgeable of the food and wine offerings, we needed for nothing. The highlight of our stay has to be the Fordoun Spa. Wow! Conveniently located and few meters away from the rooms. We felt like we had been transported to another little world, everything we experienced was preloaded with luxury. The therapists are intuitive as to what your body is needing, the massages were heavenly, the team so knowledgeable on the products the Spa uses. The Elliot Ndlovu products are made in-house, adding to the country, luxury, cultural experince. We arrived feeling pretty overwhelmed with life, we left feeling totally relaxed, so well fed and treated like absolute royalty. I would highly recommend that everyone experiences this at least once in their lives! Thank you team Fordoun, we cannot wait to return!

The hotel is pleasant. Rooms are a bit dated and could do with a modern upgrade. Fordoun is on a beautiful property. So much potential for something magnificent. Expensive for what it is
