Craighaar is a lovely place to stay, i was a returning guest having stayed a number of times some years ago. Staff are all very friendly and the food is great. Proximity to TECA is great for venue access, Only negative which is a minor point is the proximity to the airport and the fact that the hotel is right in line of the runway.

Well presented hotel tucked away in a quiet street. Yes a bit of noise from airport but nothing to get excited about. Rooms are nice and clean and a good size. Plenty of parking spaces. Local bus routes in easy reach with Dyce railway station a few minutes away. Access to a nice walk around the exhibition centre.

Room was small but with a good bathroom, perfectly comfortable. Decor dated but room was clean. Lovely bar area with a variety of seating. Well stocked with friendly staff. You certainly wont be cold, a fire on in the bar and heating on within the rooms and corridors. Perfectly located for the airport and P&J live arena. There is a restaurant on site that we didn't get to try. Menu looked good. Really enjoyed our stay

Easy and free parking, plenty of spaces. The hotel has a rustic feel and is clean with very friendly staff and the food is excellent. Rooms are nice, yes you do here aircraft but once the airport closes it’s a very quiet area. There are some nice walks nearby too.

It was OK! Staff are nice and friendly. Breakfast was poor in cooking and quality, beds are old and uncomfortable with springs digging in to your back when laying on your side. My TV didnt work properly but my colleagues did.

Nice quiet room with the bonus of a hand held shower head in the ensuite (as well as fixed head if that is what you like). Staff were pleasant and helpful. Plenty of parking space. Good breakfast. We attended a private dinner party in the library one evening and we also had an excellent meal in their own restaurant the following evening.
