We had a nice two-night stay at Ardoe House. I appreciate everyone has their own experience and there are some negative reviews here which may be justified, but we had an enjoyable time and were happy enough with the service. The room was nice, clean, spacious and comfortable. Breakfast had a good selection and the staff were friendly. Yes, there were a couple of details that maybe weren't quite up to normal standard, but it's taking hotels an extra effort to get back up to speed just now because of Covid and especially a place like this that has only recently changed ownership. It's a stunning building and the deal we got was well worth the money, so would certainly recommend it.

A fantastic hotel, built around the old building, the new extension is to the rear and almost invisible from the front aspect. Swimming pool and sauna very nice. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. Food in the restaurant is targeted as "fine dining" but not overpriced, a really nice experience. The sheff is marvellous.

If your going to have dinner, you HAVE to take the beef. Absolutely marvelous, the meet was so soft it just crumbled in your mouth. Fully recommend.

So very disappointed to be writing this review about one of my favourite hotels. My husband and I have always loved the Ardoe. We took quite some time to check in, even although we did it online prior to arrival. Our wine wasn't in our room. (But we did find a sock, from previous guests) Couldn't find bar staff to assist and reception didn't know what to do. Dinner was absolutely ridiculous. We were eventually seated and handed an all day menu and a dinner menu. Very limited options and two were chicken options. Waited 35 minutes and our order wasn't even taken, nor asked what we wanted to drink! I went to reception to ask for manager, to be told "too busy". The poor staff who were very young and extremely busy, were untrained because "not enough staff to train others". At every turn there were guests shouting at the young staff and I felt very sorry for them!! Chicken was tried out and couldn't really find the haggis in my balmoral chicken!! Breakfast was dried out and not great. I had a late checkout in my deal but couldn't wait to leave to be honest. When asked "how was your stay"? I replied "awful" Again I asked to speak to the manager and was told that they were too busy and to write an email!!!

Didn't go inside or stayed but just went to see the place. Outside scenery is awesome and there is a farm right next to it down the hill with a couple of highland cows which are very friendly and came right up to us close to the fence. Took nice pictures of the cows and places around. There are legends of the Ardoe house top floor being haunted which makes it even more intriguing place to visit.
