Maryculter House

Maryculter House

10/10 Excellent
"This was my final stay after Stonehaven and City Centre. It was a welcome change from the loud noises around my city centre flat. Keep in mind you are very far from everything without a car. The property sits alone and Peterculter is the next town over offering a few grocery stores, pubs, restaurants, etc. I was a bit unwise to walk an hour there which puts you right up against the road. The property is beautiful, historic, and sits on the River Dee with a kirkyard a stone’s throw away. The room was a mix of a very modern bathroom and cosy bedroom. I found all the storage thoughtful and ample. The bedding was comfortable and the windows provided the incredibly fresh air from outside. The staff is wonderful and havent forgotten what hospitality looks like. I assume he may be a general manager but the gentleman from Spain was especially hospitable and even offered recommendations after learning I enjoy hiking. Smart casual wear recommended for dinner at Poachers where the food is very good. Have drinks in the great hall which is absolutely enchanting."
