Macdonald Pittodrie House

Very pleasant, quiet, one-night stay. The most-comfortable super-king size bed ever, slept like a baby (not bad for an 72 yr old). Staff delightful, very responsive, all in all two very satisfied customers. (ps did mention a couple of minor issues which desk staff took note of.)

Had a lovely stay. Pleasant room, with big comfy bed. Bathroom needs updating but was clean. Staff very nice. Gardens are great was walking.

He worst bed I have ever slept on in my life. We had visitors from the area surprise us that my husband grew up with and they would not accommodate them for dinner. Granted we were also 30 minutes late but we were sat around the corner in the main sitting room so they could have come and grabbed us. The windows were also super old and the wind banged them through out the night. So we heard that. Burned out lights in the lamp and the overheads. It is a beautiful ground and the aesthetics of the place are great but if you want sleep, do hit stay here.

I recently attended a wedding at Pittodrie, and while the ballroom was beautifully decorated and the grounds were truly stunning, the rest of the experience fell short of expectations. The rooms and the hotel itself are in dire need of refurbishment, with a noticeably dated appearance and evident signs of wear, including cracks in the ceiling. It's clear that the venue hasn't seen significant updates in years, leaving much of the property looking tired and neglected. The service outside of the wedding event was disappointingly slow, likely due to understaffing, which made it difficult for them to accommodate both wedding guests and regular hotel guests simultaneously. The double rooms, unfortunately, are quite small, no larger than a standard bedroom, which felt inadequate given the £150+ per night rate. For this price, I expected more spacious and modern accommodations. In comparison, nearby options like the recently refurbished Premier Inn, just 20 miles away, offer rooms as low as £60 per night. Given the current state of the rooms at Pittodrie, I would much rather pay a similar price at a venue that meets contemporary standards. If the rooms at Pittodrie were brought up to 21st-century expectations, it might justify the higher rates.

The hotel is an oasis of peacefulness and the staff are so accommodating, we booked to get a breathier from the busyness of working and the hotel ticked all the boxes, we had a lovely room and both evenings sat in the garden with a beer, the place is near to Inverurie but sits out in lovely surroundings in the countryside.

We have stayed here many times over the years. The remote old world atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. There is a lovely view and the grounds are well kept. The staff couldn’t be more helpful and friendly, the food is excellent. Highly recommended if you need to get away from it all.
