We had such a lovely time at Cove Bay. The room, the view, the location, the staff, the breakfast. Everything was perfect and we will definitely remember our stay here for a long time.

Quite a little gem, hidden away overlooking the sea. We had a room with a beautiful sea view. It was incredibly comfortable, really nicely decorated and paid out. Spotlessly clean and housekeeping did a great job of replenishing tea, coffee, biscuits each day. Excellent, freshly cooked breakfast, with lots of choice, with a sea view and the restaurant serves great food in the evenings with a large choice of freshly cooked dishes. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. There have been comments about noisy evenings in the hotel disturbing guests, but you have to accept that this small hotel is the hub of the community at Cove and it is obviously loved by the locals who use it for family gatherings, etc. Once you appreciate the role the hotel plays in the local area, then a bit of a party is a much more acceptable thing. We had three great night's sleep, comfy beds, great facilities. We will definitely return. Very easy to catch a bus into Aberdeen city centre too. Thanks for a great stay.

Some public areas, stair ways, etc were a little tired, a lot of corridors, but it is an old building.

The location of the hotel, and the Sea Views. The fact that it isn't to far from our relations home. And it's nice to have very friendly staff who bend over backwards to help you. The ample free parking behind the hotel, can't fault any of our stay which is why we are hoping to return later this year in October. You'd be hard pushed to find a better place to stay, Great Hotel, Good Parking Facilities, Great Breakfast and Evening meals Great Staff and Management, and Competitive Pricing. Keep doing what you do best, by keeping your high standards and practices, well done to all the staff and we wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year in 2025

Pillows could be firmer, other than that it was a very pleasant stay. And we will be back.

Couldn't fault breakfast it was excellent, and waitresses were attentive and efficient through out. Like all the staff really.

When we arrived at the hotel and after checking in, having specified a time during booking online, we found the room very cold as the radiators were all cold, someone should have checked that the room was warm for guests arriving, The only other thing that let us down was the noise from the adjacent room when the shower was being used. Didn't think much of window that looks right into the restaurant and viewed from that side also it means having the curtain closed much of the time for privacy, would prefer another room location in the hotel.

Considering it is a 3-star hotel, it met all of our expectations. It is located in a charming historic building. The staff was very nice and helpful and the place felt clean. The room and bathroom were nicely updated. One needs to keep in mind that this is a traditional Scottish inn which means there is a bar and restaurant on the ground level and the reception is in the bar. It was not an issue for us but it I think it is good to have the understanding.

There were small things that could have been thought of. The TV was installed on the wall not in front of the bed but way to the side and did not have an arm that would allow for tilting it in the direction of the bed. We could not open the window all the way because of the oversized valance blocking it - a 4-inch one would have been just fine. We paid for the room with the view but it was a view of the parking lot with some see in the background. The restaurant served yummy food but the restaurant lacked the atmosphere ( a simple dimmer could improve the ambiance).

The food was outstanding 😄

The staff were very busy , we had a substantial wait for dinner . One member of staff was lovely and empathetic and the other was snappy and said they were busy basically what did I expect 'the steak takes time to cook'. The food was delicious Was also surprised to be be brought back from my room to settle the dinner bill. I was staying overnight and had paid for breakfast. The hotel also had my car reg and email. IIf they had asked for my credit card when taking my order or explained that the meal had to be paid on completing it would have been fine.. Communication is key.

Room was generally comfortable with an excellent view, although the desk was a little too small for comfortable working in the evening. The restaurant is award-winning and the two evening meals and breakfast's I enjoyed were superb.

The desk in the room was a little too small to work comfortably, i.e. it was difficult getting legs under the desk due to a small gap and Large chair and the limited depth of the desk made it difficult to work with laptop and documents. Additionally, I had problems with the WiFi, I kept getting messages about it being unsecured and had problems with speed.

The location was perfect for my work , staff super friendly and very efficient great atmosphere in this absolutely amazing hotel ,food selection superb and just perfect,lovely breakfast in the morning to set you up for the day no need for a lunch as still full up with breakfast, nice secure car park and great views ,lovely and quiet I got great nights sleep not sure about rooms next to mine as I snore quite loudly , I will use here again as suits my needs and more .

Nothing required to make this better perfect as it is .

The level of service and hospitality from all the staff at the cove bay hotel was exceptional. I could not fault a single thing. The food is extremely delicious and great value for money. There are lots of things to see and do in and around the hotel so it kept us really busy will definitely recommend this hotel to others wanting a break away and will most definitely be back ourselves. 5 stars.

Breakfast was delicious, staff were very very helpful, we were very late arrivals and everything and more was done to make sure we got into the hotel and our rooms. The rooms were very tastefully decorated and comfortable and the view from the room was just wonderful. What a great little gem of a hotel and very helpful staff.

My time keeping!!!! Due to our very late arrival we missed out on what looked like a very well stock bar…
