The Douglas Arms in Aberdeenshire

Super friendly service team Coffee and breakfast rolls are great

Good food with friendly staff. Just a shame food stops being served at 8 and the bar closes at 9 ( not sure about the bothy) but generally a friendly place well priced

Lovely place for a dinner and drinks (or just drinks, as we had on a previous night). Good choice on the menu - we opted for the Sunday roast and it was incredible; one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything on the plate was perfect and the gravy was amazing. The Cullen skink is also worth ordering - delicious.The service was prompt and friendly, the prices were great - under £10 for a gin and a pint. We’ll definitely come back!

Staff seemed overwhelmed and confused by everything. 2 different dessert menus were provided (one on the back of the Mains which was better, and a shorter one which was awful) and no clear answer why the original one wasn't available. Took 10 minutes and 3 staff to provide a jug of milk for coffees, despite requesting this from the start. Restaurant seemed too busy yet there were 6 or 7 waiting and bar staff in duty that we could count. Didn't note which steak was which before serving. Service between courses was on the border of being too long. Seems like it needs to decide whether it wants to be a restaurant OR a cocktail bar in the evening as the 2 clearly are not compatible with the staff available.

Below average for pub grub battered haddock was overcooked and definitely not fresh it looked ok on arrival but taste was very disappointing. Wouldn't recommend

Food & service was excellent and a very friendly atmosphere

Love this Hotel. Great staff and great food. Menu slightly limited during off season but still worth a visit.

Some of the best food! Such friendly hosts and so understanding. Room was fine for a family of 4! Overall a great stay, would recommend to anyone in the Banchory area 😄

We stopped here for a quick lunch bite. It was a really pleasant surprise! The food was really, really good and the perfect portion size. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. They have a really nice outdoor balcony so we enjoyed our food with some Scottish sunshine!

Nice people, great hotel, lovely food. The room doors could do with a little upgrading as they get stuck and are quite noisy when opening and shutting.
