Fantastic hospitality from the owners and staff
Food was delicious,so no surprise the restaurant was very busy
The 14:00 check in makes a big difference.
Portsoy and the surrounding villages were all very clean with breathtaking scenery.
We hope to return sooner than later.

Comfortable, clean and good breakfast
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Station Hotel Portsoy. The bedroom was large, nicely decorated and the beds really comfortable. The room and bathroom were very clean and bed linen good quality and spotless. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Central location with pleasant walk down to the harbour.

Nice Hotel
Decent sized room at front of hotel. Despite this, never heard any traffic. Clean & tidy. Shower OK.
Food was great, plenty of gluten free options, including fish and chips, gf bread and sausages at breakfast.
Nice wee town, good coastal walks, would visit again.

True help for travellers
Unfortunately we had an accident on the way and were without transport so did not see much of the surrounds. However, the staff made up for this going out of their way to help us including arranging our transport hone

Portsoy gem
Our stay started with with a super friendly check in and explanation of services available and so on. The room was pleasant and comfortable with the exception of the intense heat which made sleep difficult. I think in hot weather some rooms could really use a fan?
The food at breakfast was well cooked with a good variety of options available. The dinner menu was also good and food a high standard.
All staff were welcoming and helpful with nothing being too much trouble. It was wonderful that our dogs were also welcome and could come into the bar and lounge areas with us.
If we are back in the area we would definitively sty again.

Overnight stay
Large hotel, with plenty of function space.
The food was good as was the hospitality. Staff were great.
However take note that the road is busy so ask for a room at the rear of the property.
Rooms are bit dated, require upgrade and the quality of the fittings and decor were not good.
Lots of potential at this hotel. Just need a bit of TLC in the bedrooms. Attention required in bathrooms- vents and shower seals particularly.

The rooms were clean, but sadly there was an awful pervading smell in the corridor near the suite, which was really unpleasant. It got worse as the day went on. The windows, which had been left open, were very difficult to close and as the room was facing the main road it was very noisy. One of the housekeeping staff did eventually manage to close the window after several attempts. Breakfast was of a reasonable standard and there was plenty of choice. I could not recommend staying in the suite, due to the awful smell. Thankfully we only stayed for 2 nights. The staff were lovely and Portsoy and the surrounding areas are very pleasant.

Two days stay.
Aging hotel in centre of PortSoy. Unable to eat as closed after 8pm- pub attached who really isn’t interested in trying to get something made- suggests buy Chinese from across road and eat in bar. Room looking its age with thin mattress. Clean and well kept. Certainly value for money.breakfast and service very good.

Checked in on Friday around 12pm but room wasn’t ready till 2pm. That was the actual time of check in anyway. Went and wandered about the town and came back at 2 and was given an upgrade.
Dinner was excellent and breakfast on both days was great. Service was excellent as well
The bar is fine and service was excellent

Stay in the Suite
Very welcoming. We stayed in the suite which was huge with 2 separate bedrooms and small dining area in the middle and a separate bathroom. Service and food was excellent. Especially the evening meals in the restaurant on the ground floor, all homemade meals - recommend the beef and ale pie! Breakfast was good, plenty of options even with a fussy child.
There was confusion about parking at first but plenty on the main road and plenty in a public car park next door. There is actually some to the rear of the property for visitors but not very clearly identified. We weren't phased by being on a main road personally, we all slept very well. The little loch at the side of the hotel was a nice treat especially for a morning stroll. A local co-op next door to this too. Bakery and takeaways across the road if needed.

Impressed.
Check in was very good. Woman at the bar was very helpful and checked me in. She took me upto my room and made me aware of where breakfast was in the morning. Very impressed.
I was out on the lash all day and night. Came back at night for a few drinks and a game of pool. Went upstairs and the bed was big which is good but not too comfortable. It didnt put me off but it might have if i was sober haha.
When i checked in I was asked when I'd like breakfast. I went down in the morning and my room number was on the table. I sat down and a while later i was asked what I'd like for breakfast. I ordered and after a while it came with an extra plate of scrambled and poached eggs. The waitress forgot to ask how I liked my eggs so she gave me them all ways which was appreciated.
All in all I enjoyed my stay and I recommend it.
