If you want to tour Royal Deeside and the North East of Scotland, this is the place to stay. That's because you'll have ample opportunity to get out and about, just 18 miles from Aberdeen and three from Crathes Castle, while fishing or golf is 'on tap' around this historic coaching inn. Back at the hotel, facilities include two function suites, a restaurant and two bars - all of which are as relaxing to stay in as our well-kept rooms.
