Ardoe House is a beautiful property, very much in keeping with it's history as a baronial mansion. The decor is lavish and made us all feel very posh! The rooms are very well appointed and clean. The bed was the most comfortable bed we had in our two weeks of travel, and the dining options were great. The included breakfast buffet was delicious and had so much on offer, it was hard to decide - luckily there was haggis!! The staff were all incredibly friendly and lovely to deal with. I would highly recommend this hidden gem.

This is my second time at Ardoe and I just love it there. You can’t get more picturesque, unique or enjoyable than staying in a small castle. The grounds are magical with highland cows over the hill and sheep grazing down the garden. The staff are lovely and the dining options are wonderful. Soapies Bar is a cozy’s and friendly gathering place. Hope to return again!

All staff were friendly but bar and waiting staff seemed preoccupied breakfast staff were great as well as the housekeeping staff who were spot on and on the down side reception staff at the spa facilities were less than impressive mumbled his way through what was available got the impression the young man didn’t want to be there and the whole feel of the hotel and grounds were tired unkept and dated so much so my other half wanted to leave on the second night but just checked out super early the next morning
This highland coo on the grounds summed up our stay tired and miserable 😔

Great place to relax. Super dog friendly. Staff friendly. Soapies bar, the barman worked hard and was v friendly. However, need a better system for bar & food service. Was extremely busy and no waiting staff to be seen. Having to order food at bar. More like a wetherspoons than a hotel or 4 star service. Tables in drawing room seemed to be overlooked by staff and felt like an inconvenience.

Nice room, comfortable bed, good breakfast, dinner at Blair's restaurant was good. The bed looked like it had been made by a 10 year old and the room was very hot of a night. The corridor was a lot cooler than our room. A fan would have helped. We were disappointed with our stay as it wasn't up to expectations.
