Who doesn't want to stay in a castle? This place takes you right back to it. The rooms were very comfortable and the on-site amenities were great.
Yes, the place actually looks like this. :)
And they even have some Highland Cows on the property.

Weekend stay
The receptionist on arrival did not have any authority so any enquirers took an age to sort. She could not offer me an upgrade. Waited nearly 1 hour having explained that I had just driven 12 hours needed to rest so went to the room therefore stayed in the room they had given. The room was tired and needing an touch of TLC as did the hotel in general. The staff did their best however it seemed that weekend staff had the short straw. There was wedding on Saturday and something else on the Sunday, I felt I was last in the queue when wanting anything.

Good location not so clean
Even though I had an animal with me I do understand some people are allergic to animals and don’t understand why all rooms for animals are at the furthest away point in the hotel meaning you have to track all the way through the hotel with your pet. The rooms were not the cleanest the bathroom needed a good scrub down and the carpet a really good hoover and when windows were opened all the spider webs were unbelievable

Ardoe House review July 2024
I have stayed here a few times when working in Aberdeen due to location, ability to park and decent food. Albeit pricey for the food it was good quality. Sadly the food quality and variety has slipped but the price has increased. The staff don’t appear to be as friendly or approachable, you say good morning or good evening and you get ignored. I personally don’t like dogs in the dining area which was off putting when dining. Sad to say a bit disappointed this time around. The room itself was clean, well appointed and good amenities housekeeping is still a good standard. Plenty of parking.

The included breakfast is very impressive, and overall, the hotel staff were very helpful and engaging. There is interesting furniture in the bar area, although some pieces seem out of place with the rest of the decor. Additionally, the bartenders could use a bit more training, as their service sometimes seems improvised. Overall, this is a very nice traditional-style hotel with amazing grounds (say hi to the Highland cows). The customer service is great, and I highly recommend it.

Lovely peaceful spot
Lovely stay at Ardoe House. Loved the spacious room, comfy king sized bed, and clean and modern bathroom. Very quiet at night. Certainly not in the centre of things but that’s what we wanted. Only thing we thought could be approved on was the dinners we had in the bar- very average. Had the steak sandwich and the beef was chewy, and the pasta with tomato and beef sauce was very bland. (And we are not foodies!) Fish and chips were fine, and breakfast choices were good.

Very comfortable accommodation. Loved the mini fridge in my room. Brilliant breakfast and tasty bar food. Drawing room nice for a drink and relaxation. Surrounding area stunning, particularly heading west along the River Dee. Well equipped gym, better than most hotels. Great, old-style sauna- the type you get to add water too. Not very common these days, unfortunately. Jacuzzi not hot and swimming pool always seemed to have Swimming lessons on which was annoying.

The property is gorgeous and food was good. When we got to our room there was no toilet paper, tissues, or soap and the front desk staff said they'd send some up ASAP, but we still didn't have any after we went downstairs for dinner and drinks. After we called again, someone brought us toilet paper. The room also could have used a fan as it got pretty warm at night.

The Ardoe is technically a lovely place. But it is massive and rather dark and has an oppressive feel. With a couple of significant exceptions, the staff weren’t particularly friendly. And management not particularly accommodating. I had no British pounds and needed a bit of cash for gratuities. They would not provide any cash off my VISA saying they do not ‘offer this service’. If an establishment takes VISA, this is not a difficult concept and I have done it in the wilds of Africa. You’d think a Scottish hotel could manage it. A car is essential and unfortunately I didn’t rent one at the airport. There is nowhere to go for a stroll. Although the property is very large, there were no walking paths and the road the hotel is on is narrow with very fast moving traffic. So it is very isolating unless you have the car. A night or two here would be a nice enough change from a city hotel, but I wouldn’t go beyond that.

Don't eat here, but rooms lovely
I like the large TV in the room, the very spacious room and bathroom, the bathrooms feel new. Nice to have a fridge. A very comfortable stay. Do not eat here though. The Blairs restaurant is massively over priced tiny portions of overly complicated food with too many flavours that don't mix well. The bar food menu hasn't changed since at least January. If paying £9.00 for an avocado sandwich, I would expect some actual avocado, not a tiny smear on the bread and half a raw red onion. Couldn't taste any avocado, just awful onion.

My friend and I stayed at the Ardoe house for one night. We booked an Executive double, King bed and stayed on a Thursday night in June. The hotel overall was pretty quite, the outside grounds were beautiful. Our bed was very firm, but also expected anywhere outside of the US. We made a table reservation at the restaurant, and were the only ones there. Food was ok, if you have the means to get back into town there are likely better options. Hotel guests get access to some of the spa amentities, the dry sauna was great and hot! The steam sauna wasn't very warm and smelled a bit funky. The hot tub and pool were pretty much the same temperature, not nearly as relaxing as I thought it would be. The evening receptionist was not very pleasant, argued with me about prepaying for the room and charged my card the full room fee. Fortunately the daytime staff, who were much more friendly, caught the error and happily issued a refund for the extra charge. Our bartender, Ola, was such a delight, definitely pop in and have a cocktail. I would recommend Ardoe House to someone looking for an affordable castle stay, but I personally would not go back.
