Portsoy Ice Cream Tours

A truly glowing review for Ardoe House Hotel & Spa We stayed as a party of five across three rooms from 14 to 16 April, and this was an absolute find. The hotel is magnificent — a stunning 19th-century Baronial mansion set within beautiful 30-acre grounds with sheep in the fields. It's a peaceful countryside retreat, yet just five miles from Aberdeen. Our rooms were spacious, modern, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean, with tea/coffee, fridge, safe, iron, hairdryer, and quality bathroom toiletries. Breakfast was a delight — a well-cooked, tasty buffet with hot and cold options, regularly replenished. The gym is modern and well-equipped. The indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room were excellent — even with swimming lessons taking place, there was still ample space. Parking was plentiful, despite the hotel being busy, and the staff were friendly throughout. Ardoe House is a gem. Beautiful history, modern comforts, and wonderful grounds. We'll definitely be back.

Nice, clean, welcoming room with a great view of the river. Loved the oldie world feel of the place.

Lovely room but sadly no hot water in the morning to have showers. Staff apologised but didn’t seem to take onboard that our stay was spoiled.Food at lunchtime was delicious but breakfast wasn’t the same standard.
