Top Drum Castle Hotel Reviews

Village Hotel Aberdeen

8/10 Good

"Hotel was clean and easy to navigate to. I didn’t realize that this was mostly self check in which created some frustration on my part at the end of a long travel day. Our shower didn’t drain well but the next morning the front desk person was very helpful and put in a maintenance request."

Ardoe House Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Parking was first class."

Banchory Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hugely enjoyable as always"

Maryculter House

10/10 Excellent

"Have stayed at this hotel on many occassions and have always enjoyed. Over the past year or so, some of the attention to detail has gone. Not enough to stop going but little things like removing sparkling water and fresh milk from the rooms which helped make it better than some of the local competition."
