Stately old mansion
This is a huge old mansion converted to a hotel. It has a quirky charm and was fine for our needs for a quick stop.

Happy Highlander
Comfortable and convenient.
Dining options within are limited, but other options are available.
Special mention for Murray, the night porter, who dealt very efficiently and effectively with a crowd of exceptionally noisy and unruly Chinese students whom were partying into the early hours. Top marks Murray !

Appears tired
This has the potential to be a grand boutique hotel. The price is fair for what it. Is currently a nice hotel close to Aberdeen. The breakfast was very nice. Staff were all nice.
