Macdonald Pittodrie House, hotel in Alford

We loved the old-world charm of this beautiful property, peacefull and full and history. Our room was very spacious, as was the bathroom, offering great comfort. The highlight was the snug bar, where we had an intimate dinner in a warm and cozy atmosphere. The food was delicious!!

Broadsea, hotel in Alford

Set in Inverurie and only 38 km from Beach Ballroom, Broadsea offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking.

The hosts live on-site at the farmhouse and are friendly and hospitable. The cottage is very clean, warm and comfortable. We loved that the cows came to say hello at the kitchen window! There are good woodland walks close by, and it's an easy drive to Inverurie for supermarkets etc. Recommend arriving in daylight if possible as easier to find.

North Mains Cottage - Craigievar Castle, hotel in Alford

Situated in Alford in the Grampian region with Craigievar Castle nearby, North Mains Cottage - Craigievar Castle features accommodation with free private parking.

Beautiful location, it was perfect for what we wanted as a base. As the castle was closed for renovations we had complete peace and quiet. When we booked we were unsure about whether the Interior would be big enough but were very pleasantly surprised by how spacious it felt. We would totally recommend it.

    The location is beautiful. So peaceful. The house is extremely comfortable like a home from home. It is one of my favourite places to stay ever! The hosts are fabulous. Thoughtful and provide so many little extras. It is a well equipped house. We were visiting family and were able to have them round for dinner because the house is welcoming with a well equipped kitchen. The cosy fireplaces make it sociable and pretty special. We all kept oversleeping because it is so quiet and comfortable.

    The location was exceptional. Wonderful views of castle and surrounding countryside. The grounds were a joy which our dog also really enjoyed. A really great base to return to after long days out discovering the Highlands

    If I just say everything was amazing then that is the bottom line, the welcome, the brownies, the kind thought of provisions in the fridge and hot water bottles, the hot tub, the garden, the ability to relax, the deers you could watch from the window, the open fire place, the gift shop and bistro in the village,…..

    Fantastic location - not far from local attractions and amenities, a really cosy cottage and the hot tub is always a plus. The hosts were responsive and friendly and provided us with everything we needed for the duration of the stay. The cottage is pet-friendly with a dog bed provided. Would highly recommend it.
