Stopped here on business for one night whilst seeing a customer in Inverurie. Great location, a cosy and importantly quiet room, good wifi, fabulous tasty fresh food in the restaurant and excellent friendly courteous service from the reception and front of house staff. I had the mushroom pakora starter and chicken Ceasar salad main. Both were well presented and tasted great. Highly recommended!
Enjoyed a great dinner here, the menu was varied with good selections for all tastes. The food was fresh and delicious. The puddings were amazing! We sat in the extension which is a beautiful room. Friendly service, will definitely be back!
We had a lovely dinner at Ardennan House Hotel with friends, and I was so impressed with the service! Bookings are suggested, but we were lucky enough to get a table at dinner time. The location isn’t as accessible via public transportation as some of the other restaurants in Inverurie, but the food was worth the extra effort. The main course menu was a little heavy for my appetite, so my partner & I shared some small plates that were filling and tasty. All in all, it was a wonderful evening and I’d definitely recommend to others!
Festive Menu 2025 The Roast Beef was as good as it looks aswell as the honeycomb cheesecake Safe to say i look forward to my next visit to try the normal menu, lovely wee place good atmosphere comfy surroundings and friendly staff
Staff were incredibly accommodating. Allowed me to continue with my reservation as i was mid travel from far down South England, even though the hotel was forced to close due to extreme weather. Stayed in the bungalow apartments and room was wonderful. Will definitely visit again and try the restaurant and bar. Thanks you for such a positive experience during what must be a difficult time for the team.
We loved staying here. This is a house with a pub on the ground and rooms above. The owners are lovely, the food amazing and the rooms clean and big. We definitely recommend and would come back 100%
While we didn’t stay here my group of 12 had a very nice dinner here. The restaurant is clean and vibrant. The food and drinks were exceptional as well.
My friends and I visited the hotel yesterday for lunch, our first visit. We were warmly welcomed by female member of staff and shown to a table of our choice in the lovely new conservatory. The meal served by the same staff member was excellent and no pressure was put on us to leave as we were meeting after a long absence and had a lot of chat. All in all a very enjoyable experience and we will definitely be making a return visit.
Set towards the countryside less than a mile from the A96 road, this quaint hotel in an 18th-century stone building is 7 miles from the stately 15th-century Castle Fraser, Garden & Estate. Inverurie Golf Club is 2 miles away.
