Feel like the photos do not do this place justice. We had a great stay.

Stayed 1 night while travelling south from the NC500. Perfect for our stay. Large clean comfortable rooms. Good priced food and drink. Friendly locals and staff.

Absolutely nothing that we didn't like. We wished it wasn't so booked up so we could have stayed another night. We didn't want to leave!

The staff running this place is a couple and they take care of it like their own. Love the bar serving Guinness. Location is perfect. Everything you need is just 10mins by car. The room was the biggest one among all and we were so lucky to have stayed in it! We requested for a kettle and fridge and they provided us with a full coffee station.

More of a selection of food would have been great but there was only one staff member to serve & very limited selection, the guy did really well though.

The town is where Macbeth was killed, interesting! Our room was great, lovely outlook & clean

Only limited bar meals on offer in the evening and no breakfast, but local shop nearby.

All facilities were clean, tidy and comfortable. Quiet location in a small countryside town. Helpful staff. Bar open in the evenings. TV and wifi in the room. Local walking, cycling and other outdoor activities.

Need an instruction on how to use the coffee make😁

I arrived late and just needed a place to sleep. It was clean, a bit outdated, but comfortable enough for a good night’s rest.

I was on the Royal Dee Golf Week. Furthest course was 40 minutes away, closest, 10. They don't do food at Macbeth, but plenty of options close by. Hosts are wonderful. Spend a couple of hours in the bar and meet some great locals, some that will surprise you. If you have time, explore the local area history, very interesting. Want a Golf challenge, Lamphannan golf course, a test.

The review is based on the fact that this is a small hotel that is not staffed all the time. This is the reason that meals and breakfast are not available, but you know that when you book and the Post Office next door can fill most of the gaps. What you get is a nice hotel in a small and quiet village which is not a significant detour, but gets you away from the much busier (in the summer) towns and villages nearby. Not only that, but it has some cool and interesting archaeology on the doorstep.

Would pay extra for continental breakfast option. Even if it was breakfast bags!

Unexpected wee gem! The room was bright, airy, and clean. All essentials catered for and very friendly hosts. We took our own cereal and picnic bowls, but there are places within 15/20 mins (Alford, Torphins, Banchory). Basic evening bar meals (pizza etc), but again, there are places within 20 minutes to eat. We couldn't figure out the TV but that's OK because we weren't here for that! The bathroom door needs a wee lift up to fit the frame, but the bath and shower work great and plenty of towels. Bed was comfy, and we slept well, the area quiet. Extra pillows were provided on my request, and there was a kettle and dolce gusto in our room! As we travel with our late teen in tow, finding places of good value for two rooms is tricky ... and we are quite picky people. However, we would stay here again and recommend it!

Clean, well equipped rooms with en-suite. Good location with easy connections to local amenities

Very clean. Very friendly - the staff fell over backwards to provide us with a toaster and microwave so as we could make our own breakfast. Very quiet (particularly for a pub).

Soundproofing in the room was not great. We had to listen to a conversation somewhere in the hotel until probably 06:00. This person would just not stop talking.

Excellent and fit the purpose we needed it for. Clean and comfortable and very responsive management.

Central in the village . Very clean and well appointed. Seemed to have been recently refurbished.

Stayed in October 2024

There was no breakfast offered but we knew of this in advance. The water system and shower is a little antiquated with a very noisy electric flushing system.

Large room with small table and easy chairs. The pub does not offer food but on the night we stayed (Thursday) a mobile fish n chips van parked outside and sold an excellent takeaway which we were able to eat in the pub bar. There is also a small shop next door that sells convenience foods.

Everything was excellent

Staff very helpfull and friendly. Locals in the bar also friendly and informative and were kind to my dog

There was some noise from the pub downstairs (music on until late, as it was a Saturday night) and from another group of guests who arrived back to their rooms drunk in the middle of the night.

Traditional inn lodgings above a pub. Staff were friendly and let us eat our takeaway downstairs in the pub, as main meals are not served there. Spacious, clean well presented en-suite bedroom. Pretty walks nearby and a nice countryside view from our window. Pod coffee machine and microwave provided in the room. The accommodation is great value for money.

Thin walls & banging doors, so awakened at irregular hours by other guests coming & going.

Easy to access with parking outside. Good base for local activities.

Stayed in July 2024

Very noisy on Friday and Saturday night as it is situated above the only pub in the village but we knew that when we booked.

Set in a quiet village the inn is ideally situated for all the tourist attractions in the area and making the coast easily accessible. The property is in a listed building which makes some of the facilities quirky. Although there is no breakfast available the room was well equipped with a fridge, microwave, toaster and tea / coffee.
