Had to stay one night on business, staff were friendly enough and the evening meal was OK rather expensive for a steak but edible. However the room was another matter, old, tired and shabby but the worst was the bed and pillows smelled sour and sweaty, sheets looked clean but put over smelly bedding. The mattress was so old the... More

We've been here a few times recently and the food is really good. All very tasty and just as described. Unlike recent reviewers, didn't think it was at all expensive. Ok the public areas are showing a bit of wear and tear, could probably do with a revamp. The upside is the staff are very friendly and helpful. All in... More

Had no choice of alternatives as this was a last minute business trip. Found the hotel to be really run down, it had dirty public areas with filthy carpets, tired decoration, noisy bar area that resonated into my room and found average and pricey food. Very disappointed. Secretary told never to book me there again! Staff friendly despite the issues.... More

Stayed here one night, very friendly staff and the food in the restaurant was fantastic, really fresh and menu had lots of choice. Shame about the room which was very cold (attic room) with only a small convector heater which made the air very dry through the night. Bathroom was along the corridor on top level but was also very... More

Have been to the Cove Bay Hotel for meals a number of times in the 17 years I have lived in Cove. Had a meal there with my wife on Saturday 09/02/2013. In our experience the food was and still is very good, which has always been the case under the various owners. However on our most recent visit the... More

We had a lovely family Christmas Dinner at the Cove Bay Hotel, accompanied by our beautiful 4 month old grand-daughter, Saoirse, my son, Eoin and Daughter-in-law, Michelle. The staff were friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was warm and unstuffy, and I could recommend this venue for anyone considering having their Christmas Dinner out next year! Many thanks to Guy,... More

We use this hotel regularly for going out for meals as we live in Cove Bay. The food is always good and the service is also good. Nice views of the sea when its a nice clear day. Id definitely recommend this place.

Hadn't been in Aberdeen in decades and Cove Bay seemed really hard to find (I know, GPS would have made it easier, but got the cheapest car at Edinburgh airport, and there you go.) When we finally arrived at the hotel, we felt warmly welcomed. They made sure we got a table for dinner before the kitchen closed. Had a... More
