Ashgrove Vacations from $1,450

Wonderful hotel near Balmoral with comfortable rooms and staff definitely represented the classic highland hospitality! Great welcome and restaurant on grounds with cozy lobby area near a roaring fireplace. Staff gave great recommendations of the area. Will definitely stay again!

The room was spotlessly clean a few light patches on the carpet but very well maintained the staff were welcoming and the choice of breakfast menu was amazing my friend and opted for a full Scottish breakfast which was cooked to perfection and so tasty there was a selection of buns croissants and yogurts and fruit if you wanted a healthy breakfast. The bathroom was very nice I ordered the products online which I do after every visit which are provided in the bathroom and we indulged in the spa in the evening we opted for an afternoon tea with the view to a late dinner later in the evening but the afternoon tea was so delicious and filling we did not need dinner. parking was secure and complimentary and there is ample parking albeit a small distance walk. I paid £20 each for my six year old dog and my 14 week old pup to join me in our room and my dogs got a huge welcome from reception and the grounds are fabulous for a walk dogs are welcome in the drawing room to eat and enjoy a drink so five Star for dog friendliness thank you so much ardoe house hotel and spa team we will definatly be back.

What a beautifully unique place to stay! We were in the Gamekeeper's bothy and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was clean and spacious and the wood stove kept us plenty warm! We never saw any red squirrels but I did see a beautiful jay that was so different from the blue jays we have in the US. I would stay here again in a minute!

Our family spent three nights in two suites at the outstanding Station Hotel. Excellence in four categories: Location: Rothes is a quiet town, very close to many distilleries, the Cairngorms mountains, and to Elgin and Aberlour. Facilities: The suites were luxurious, the bistro very comfortable for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the whisky bar a very special place. Service/staff: The staff provide outstanding service. As with any hotel, small mistakes happen. The great hotels cover for those mistakes with grace and charm. That is true of the staff at the Station Hotel. Really outstanding, world-class staff: Carys Aspinall made our visit memorable before we even arrived. Contacted prior to our visit because I was having difficulty finding distilleries with openings for tours and tastings, she took the initiative to locate three places, sent me the information on their open time slots, and gave life to our ultimately very successful search. Those places she identified became the backbone of our touring (encouraged by the thoughtful notes she wrote about each one in a follow-up email). Once we arrived, Carys continued to provide the kind of service one dreams about: professional and efficient while also warm and welcoming. At reception, in the bistro, and in the whisky bar, we were helped by her repeatedly and in each case, felt a little bit like we had a very knowledgeable, local friend looking out for us.
