A lovely hotel with beautiful views. The staff are very friendly and thoughtful. The suite I was in was beautiful, but there was no mini fridge available for medication, and non available. An excellent venue for an escape and for a wedding.

Lovely 3 days

We had amazing weather for January which made the river walk to Crathes Castle really a treat. All the food was very good and hot. Real fire made it homely. Pet friendly. Outdoor seating gave easy access the to great river side and views.
