Top Drum Castle Hotel Reviews

Ardoe House Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very helpful. Breakfast was delicious and good variety of items. Enjoyed using the facilities in the spa."

Macdonald Norwood Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was perfect! Rooms were spacious, clean, and our accessible room was an excellent layout and perfectly functional. Breakfast was outstanding, afternoon tea in the library was excellent, the dinner menu was a bit limited, but what thay had was all delicious. Item of note is they do not have bell carts, and bell service is charged @£5 per bag.. Didn't use the service but was surprised given the exceptional service we found otherwise. Great base for our 3 nights..Highly recommend"

Excellent value for money. It was a pleasant 15 minute journey into Stonehaven harbour for dinner. If you want a quiet country walk, there is a nearby wind farm down the road toward Stonehaven which you can enter and walk around."
