Torphins Vacations from $1,179

Convenient, economical, bedroom and bathroom clean. decor tired, communal areas grubby and walls very thin so all conversation and movement can be heard from surrounding rooms.

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.

Average at best. Not particularly hospitable. I was locked out of my room twice. I met a lovely elderly lady in her zimmer staed on my corridor,who was also having difficulty accessing her room. I offered to help. When that wasn't feasible I then went down to the reception. I rang the buzzer 3 times. Just no staff. Bags of rubbish left in the corridor. Fruit flies in my room suggest it may well be needing a look in to regards to hygiene. I did extend my stay, mainly due to mobility issues, but I doubt very much that I'll be back. A shame as it's a decent area. More effort is needed.

Great modern rooms installed in a traditional hotel with a nice cosy bar. Tried the 22 year old whisky which was smashing. Staff were awesome as well

Room decor was rather dated not been refurbished for a while we stayed in a gallery suite at far end of building heating was adrquate in room but not on our corridor link ootside the room as no heating at this end although there are in all other sections of hotel tv s also issus smart tvs that dont connect to internet had to use tablets and phones wont rush back
