We chose Durn House as there was very limited accommodation in the whole of Aberdeen/shire due to an oil and gas conference, and thank goodness for that conference or we would not had found Durn House! The house is beautiful for a start, John and Sandra have sympathetically and beautifully decorated it. Both are such lovely hosts and make you... More

We have just returned home from Durn House,this was our second stay with John and Sandra as we had enjoyed our first stay so much we wanted to share the experience with our closest freinds. Our party consisted of 4 couples and involved a surprise 50th birthday party. We arrived on Friday to John & Sandra`s usual warm welcoming, Sandra... More

We chose Durn House after friends recommended it and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted with tea beautifully presented in the drawing room, and then were shown round the house. We had the room over the front door; a large room, very comfortable four poster bed, and a huge bathroom with the bath in the middle. With a "gentleman's club"... More

We were looking for something nice to see us over for a wedding we went to. But I can categorically say that we got way way more than we expected.

Unfortunately... More

This place is something of a well kept secret and a real hidden gem. It really is like visiting friends and doesn't feel like a hotel at all, which adds to the appeal. The owners have created something special and it is a real jewel in the north easts crown. We have been twice in a month, the second of... More

A warm and friendly welcome set the tone for a very enjoyable visit in this fascinating house. Our hosts were attentive but allowed us room to relax and marvel in the the beautiful surroundings they have created, Lovely accommodation, superb food and we will be returning. What a gem of a place.

This was one of the quirkiest places we have been lately. It was like a house party where you were in the middle of the owners life. Alison was terrific and kept us entertained as well as looking after all our needs. The place lent itself to talking to other guests and the whole experience was different. Would recommend to... More
