Unexpected wee gem! The room was bright, airy, and clean. All essentials catered for and very friendly hosts. We took our own cereal and picnic bowls, but there are places within 15/20 mins (Alford, Torphins, Banchory). Basic evening bar meals (pizza etc), but again, there are places within 20 minutes to eat. We couldn't figure out the TV but that's OK because we weren't here for that! The bathroom door needs a wee lift up to fit the frame, but the bath and shower work great and plenty of towels. Bed was comfy, and we slept well, the area quiet. Extra pillows were provided on my request, and there was a kettle and dolce gusto in our room! As we travel with our late teen in tow, finding places of good value for two rooms is tricky ... and we are quite picky people. However, we would stay here again and recommend it!

Would pay extra for continental breakfast option. Even if it was breakfast bags!

Traditional inn lodgings above a pub. Staff were friendly and let us eat our takeaway downstairs in the pub, as main meals are not served there. Spacious, clean well presented en-suite bedroom. Pretty walks nearby and a nice countryside view from our window. Pod coffee machine and microwave provided in the room. The accommodation is great value for money.

There was some noise from the pub downstairs (music on until late, as it was a Saturday night) and from another group of guests who arrived back to their rooms drunk in the middle of the night.

Set in a quiet village the inn is ideally situated for all the tourist attractions in the area and making the coast easily accessible. The property is in a listed building which makes some of the facilities quirky. Although there is no breakfast available the room was well equipped with a fridge, microwave, toaster and tea / coffee.

Very noisy on Friday and Saturday night as it is situated above the only pub in the village but we knew that when we booked.

Large room with small table and easy chairs. The pub does not offer food but on the night we stayed (Thursday) a mobile fish n chips van parked outside and sold an excellent takeaway which we were able to eat in the pub bar. There is also a small shop next door that sells convenience foods.

There was no breakfast offered but we knew of this in advance. The water system and shower is a little antiquated with a very noisy electric flushing system.

Facilities were very good, but unable to use most due to a power cut in the morning.

The only criticism is that we experienced a power cut at 08.30am and we tried to contact staff to get help but no staff responded until we were leaving the premises. Unable to shower, unable to make a hot drink in the morning or have any breakfast with facilities available.

Everything we needed was there. Had the door codes so accessibility was fine. Didn't see the staff as we entered the side door, the information booklet was good. My partner and I have an Inn in the borders, so I understood how to use the facilities.

I wouldn't say I didn't like anything, really. I didn't go looking for the staff so didn't encounter any.

Nice local pub with very friendly atmosphere. Good for a pint at the end of the day. Beautiful landscape but close enough to Aberdeen airport. The owners are extremely nice. The bedrooms are variable - we had a beautiful large one with a full bathroom and a rest area with two armchairs to enjoy the views, and one small one that was simply convenient.

Beds are not very comfy. Would be nice to serve some food (beyond frozen pizza).

Excellent and fit the purpose we needed it for. Clean and comfortable and very responsive management.

Soundproofing in the room was not great. We had to listen to a conversation somewhere in the hotel until probably 06:00. This person would just not stop talking.

Very clean. Very friendly - the staff fell over backwards to provide us with a toaster and microwave so as we could make our own breakfast. Very quiet (particularly for a pub).

Aileen and Peter very very helpful and friendly. We arrived a little wet travelling on bikes. They let us use their laundry services free of charge to dry out

If I could change anything it would be to have food/ breakfast. There were no facilities but a shop next door
