Fordoun Hotel and Spa

Having stayed at the Self Catering Chalet, we found the home well equipped, spacious and clean. Bonus was a free bag of firewood daily for the fireplace as the evenings do get cold.

Hard to fault them based off a 2 night stay, however if one stayed for longer you may start finding certain inconveniences.

breakfast is always delicious

more options on the menu

Au top !!

Rien

Perfect in every way!

Amazing food! Great grounds! Excellent location!

Outdated bathrooms!

Relaxed, friendly staff

The heated rooms and bathroom

the breakfast was amazing, the location has been modernised as compared to when I was there 3 years aghop and I love the look.

maybe have a board of info of all the things you can do while there based on the duration of your stay and reason of stay .. I am asking for too much..

Good

Everything was fine

Beautiful surroundings! Comfortable room. Delicious meals! Outstanding Spa!

It is a wonderful place and very relaxing.

The beds are extremely hard. The hiking paths are not well marked and the map is confusing.

Brilliant spa

Love the location and spa

My room was dated decor wise and needs a little TLC- not the quality I have experienced before a few years back

great location, safe, friendly staff, wonderful breakfast.

nothing

NOTHING

phenomenal

Location and lovely breakfast

It was good but didn’t live up to expectations I had heard of place. Luggage never arrived in room . We booked a spa treatment and only afterwards people in Area said did we use faculties but they were never shown or offered.

Venue, location and attention to detail was awesome. The room was spacious and comfortable with heated flooring . The spa was amazing with all its amenities and spa treatment options including a flotation pool that was situated in a repurposed dairy silo. Staff were warm and welcoming amd there was lots to do in the area

Nothing to complain about

Lovely Room

Check in

breakfast was delicious.

Loved the facilities, especially the indoor pool which we used with our kids after 7pm, it was relaxing and enjoyable. The convenience of the golf cart to get around was great, and general hospitality . We enjoyed the breakfast as well. The property is very well maintained.

Perhaps a separate alcohol section, or bar, with kitchen menu catering more separate to allow for more halaal options. While there are vegetarian and seafood options, if kitchens are separate for preparation, there is less concern and Muslims would feel more comfortable to enjoy breakfast, lunch & dinner.

Self catering unit was neat and clean. It had suitable utensils. Views were lovely. Yards were lush and beautiful.

No aircon in the self catering units. Floors were squeaky and slippery and there were no mats.

Beautiful and relaxing

Nothing

Great service and friendly staff, having my car washed morning of our departure was a wonderful surprise!

Sadly we weren’t able to secure a spa booking, will hopefully plan better next time.

My room was big and spacious

Rooms best in the Midlands - cozy and comfortable and fantastic views of the Midlands. Excellent dinner and breakfasts. Easy access to wedding venue, golf and eateries. Nice to have the car wash available each morning.

The link from the hotel to the cottages could be better, we had family in cottages and we had to drive there. As the crow flies it is close. Try make a plan.

Fantastic location, excellent country side views and ambiance

Nothing

Great staff and amazing food!!

A bit pricey compared to other accommodation of same standard

Excellent: everything

It was perfect for a very relaxing getaway for us. Accommodation was very comfortable and breakfasts were great.

Nothing

It’s welcome and elegant

The Spa is in very high demand

Pleasant experience overall.

Continental Breakfast was very basic. Disappointing compared to other similar places we’ve been to.

We always stop on our way back from the coast - and it’s a highlight for us. Love the warm cosy rooms all set up before you arrive so that the heating has taken the chill off everything and the bathroom is very warm. Very inviting!

Is the weather always so cold? Just joking but it makes the place

We didnt have breakfast there.

One of our massages was a bit disappointing but was possibly with a trainee therapist. Also the entrance to the flotation pool is extremely slippery and needs attention.

Amazing well maintained property and wonderful staff that customer service oriented.

Nothing

The unit I was staying in was not underwhelming and not a five star unit. It was utterly disappointing. 1. The towels were old 2. ⁠the towels had a horrible smell 3. ⁠the couch is slouching 4. ⁠the shower in the one bathroom looked disgusting 6. ⁠There was no bottled water 6. ⁠Bathtub was not clean The experience is underwhelming and way to below that of a five star hotel.

Food

Bed was too soft

An all round wonderful experience!

Fordoun is always a treat

Been to Fordoun a few times and to this day the owner still walks through the Resturant and chats to each guest. The short stories put on your bed which are written by the owner are always a treat to read. The staff are incredible, friendly and the service is outstanding.

A bit sad the Spa never responded to my emails and WhatsApp message. Would have been wonderful to have booked a spa day.

The property is absolutely stunning, clean and there is a lot to see.

Most of the activities listed on the website weren’t available, so that eased very limiting in terms of our anticipated experience .

Breakfast was AMAZING. Breakfast staff were really good, food was fresh and on time. Beautiful grounds, really nice rooms with great views. Spa and sauna / steam room also pretty nice way to spend the day. Location very convenient for a wedding we had at a nearby farm.

Front desk staff weren't overly welcoming. Gym and taxis court facilities are a little dated.

Location was excellent, friendly staff, great facilities

Nice big unit all kitted out.

Nothing to note

Breskfast was good, weather prevented me to go to pool

No comment

The location was spectacular, and the food at Skye Bistro was fantastic. Those were my favourite parts. The service at Skye Bistro was also great.

I booked a superior room. The room wasnt up to standard. The bathroom and shower - I had received better 3-4 star conditions in other establishments. There was no hair conditioner in the bathroom, which I would expect from such an expensive establishment. I feel it was ok, just definitely not worth the high cost. Furthermore, I had a 90 minute massage. The quality was subpar and not a single person asked me how my session was. Its just definitely not the standard I would expect at such an expensive 5 star hotel.
