Trying to understand how a business can be run this poorly is difficult. Even after discussions with Paul about how poor the food was, there was no change. While quite happy to take our money, there was little improvement during our meals there. Clearly when the staff didn't want to serve the food, there must be a problem. The clumps... More

My main course served before my starter ( which was served when I finished my main course ) bread rolls as hard as stones in the Don, half cooked food, over cooked food, soup and sandwich lunch with no soup, no milk for the coffee at breakfast and after repeated requests the milk came in time for the water being...

Breakfast sausages straight out of the deep fat fryer. Soup & sandwich lunch (included in price) lacking soup and sufficient sandwiches one day. Evening meals which were an agreed two course set menu with a choice both nights.... no choice one night and both choices barely edible on the second night. Absolutely the worst food I have ever paid money... More

Nice surroundings, good company and a terrible hotel. My only advice is don't go there, don't even consider it. Dirty rooms, bad service and horrible food. I stayed at the hotel for three days and I didn't get a single decent meal, the best meals I had was the cereal for breakfast. The rest of the food was horrible, probably... More

Dear Sir or Madam, In response to your review regarding our small hotel, I am somewhat concerned that you felt like this after your stay. We certainly do not as you say do recycle coffee in the hotel, a fresh pot for a single person is made or the filter coffee is prefered by a guest. As for the rooms... More

As part of my cycle from Inverness to Aberdeen I had taken a wrong route and ended up cycling through the snow covered mountains in a blizzard! Luckily I passed through Strathdon and was pointed to The Colquhinnie House Hotel to take shelter for the night! I arrived at about 4pm wet and cold, and the owner Paul was very... More

We stayed here to save travelling to the Lecht two days in a row and didn't expect much as the price was good and the location rural but we were pleasantly surprised. The bedroom we had was dated and could do with an upgrade but the room clean and bed was comfy - just what you need after a day... More

I read these reviews but I decided to give it a go...........BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!! I booked this through a Groupon deal and it was to include a whisky and shortie tasting as well as overnight stay and full Scottish breakfast. When we arrived we were greeted by a gruff "you're the groupon ones then" by the owner (we found this out... More

We found the Paul and Sabina very welcoming, despite being short staffed for the day. They were very kind and even our small dog (used to staying in the car) was made to feel welcome. Warm atmosphere, with a log fire in the bar area, and the place was very clean. I felt the bar could have had extra comfy... More
