9/10 Wonderful! (547 reviews)
Not the hotels fault but very noisy but there was a wedding on but at 02.15 heard pouring water got up and water was coming through the ceiling and down the door from the upstairs room tried twice to call reception no response got dressed went to try find someone before any more damage was done found someone who came up to address the issue. Person had passed out drunk in shower with water running hence the problem got back to bed 30 min later water slowly stopped after 45 min. Ordered full breakfast forgot our bacon and sauce which we asked for which came 10 min after we had finished. Hotel itself was a 10/10 but we were unlucky after travelling for 11 hours to get there.

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,012 reviews)
It was many years since we had stayed at this beautifully situated hotel, just outside Aberdeen. Our recent visit was however disappointing as Ardoe House, in a number of areas, felt tired and in need of some TLC. The most disappointing aspect was the standard of cleanliness in our room which did not appear to be serviced during our two night stay apart from the bin being emptied! On a more positive note the breakfast was fine, as was the bar food.
