Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wow! Dunavon Restaurant is a place to be recommended to enjoy a first class meal. Its surroundings are modern, clean and homely. The staff are efficient and friendly. We held our Diamond Wedding celebrations there (29 Adults and 3 children) at the weekend and everything...went like clockwork. We give it 10/10 worth a try. M&H Moir Dyce.More

We were a group of 12 on a golf trip to the north-east and the Dunavon was an ideal choice with free golf at Newmachar Golf Club included in the room rate. We also dined in the hotel and had excellent meals on both evenings....Overall the standard of food and accommodation was first rate and our group were also very impressed with the service provided by the hotel staff. Will definitely be back.More

3 of us had dinner here for the first time recently. I must say it was pretty good. Theer were plenty of choices for meat and fish eaters (vegetarians might be less fortunate) I had the tempura prawns and calamari as starter. They were really...nicely cooked, For main I had the rack of pork ribs - a very sizeable portion with the succulent meat just falling off the bone. I would have liked the fries to have been a bit crisper though.More

Came here for lunch on a Tuesday early afternoon for our lunch before heading to the airport to catch our flight back home to Norway. Excellent choice and we will definitely come back! Nice decor/ambience, friendly staff and great food at a decent price. We...had fish & chips and a steak burger. Generous portions and very tasty. Highly recommended!More

We were in the area for a wedding on the Saturday, but didn't want to pay the exorbitant price for the wedding venue on the Friday night. So we found the Dunavon, and what a find! We were allocated room 6 on the ground floor,...and it was lovely. A bay window overlooking the front of the front of the hotel, tastefully decorated and really comfortable. The shower was a bit iffy, but the luxurious towels made up for it. The breakfast was delicious and very relaxed, with a decent choice of cereals, fruit etc. and an excellent full Scottish (and coffee on tap!) We would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel if you are in the area, and we will hopefully be back at some time in the future. And the value for money is just unbelievable!More

So pleased with the food we were served in this newly discovered gem! The food was perfectly presented, extremely delicious & a generous portion. The chips were probably the best I’ve tasted! My only slight critique would be the length of time it took to...be served, however all staff were lovely & friendly. We will definitely be back!More

We were looking forward to a visit as this was rated highly on TripAdvisor. Seemed fine initially, place was busy enough, but went downhill once the food arrived. Fish and chips were greasy,batter on fish was the worse I'd tasted. When I complained, I was...told that the fish and chips are always served greasy. I was offered a replacement fish and chips, but refused on this explanation. Chose chicken curry, which was disappointingly tasteless. Even the poppadom had been cooked in cold fat. Can't recommend this to anyone.More

We decided to visit on Sunday lunchtime. When we arrived pleasantly surprised it was very quiet. Apart from 1 table of six and another table of two and later after us another table joined of two. We ordered our meal very quickly. Downhill from there....Our “ciabatta toast with garlic and mozzarella took half an hour and that’s after asking for it. Once it did arrive it very extremely clear it had been thrown on and taken out in second as it was warm bread. I then had to ask the waitress to take away our plates hinting we were ready for our mains. We waited and waited but finally gave up the ghost when a table who arrived much later than us received their mains first. This point nearly an hour has pasted. We cancelled our meal. Hungry and extremely disappointed we left. Would not recommend whatsoever. Appalling service. The manager just wanted to pass the buck and make excuses. Which we were not happy with. He did not charge us for our starter and the few drinks we had which was good. However all we wanted was a good meal after travelling down from Inverness in the horrendous weather .More
