Late booking so ended up in a dog friendly room miles away from reception. Food was pleasant enough. Cleaning of the room could be better as lampshade had dead flies in it. Mould around shower tray and basic paint job around the room would easily increase score. Spacious room and it was quiet, so would stop again if in that neck of the woods. Ps missed the entrance to the hotel so if that was lighted at night could save on petrol turning the car around. 😂

Fiona

Disliked: Staff & service
Due to understaffing, lack of management presence where there was a function where the guests were outrageously rude Nd unkind to staff and other guests . There was no control or apology at all, extremely intimidating for bar staff Nd other guests. Music on til midnight blaring up through the rooms, and not a management member in sight. Was disgusted. We did get out dinner free after an email complaint, but sorry just doesn't cut it. Sad for a beautifully located place with such potential. Frayed towels and cheap pillows. Sad very very sad

Ardoe house has a lot of character. Entry seemed tired and due for refresh, but the Prestige room we booked was modern and well equipped. The grounds are superb, and very relaxing. We would stay again.

Ardoe House is a beautiful property, very much in keeping with it's history as a baronial mansion. The decor is lavish and made us all feel very posh! The rooms are very well appointed and clean. The bed was the most comfortable bed we had in our two weeks of travel, and the dining options were great. The included breakfast buffet was delicious and had so much on offer, it was hard to decide - luckily there was haggis!! The staff were all incredibly friendly and lovely to deal with. I would highly recommend this hidden gem.
