Saplinbrae is in a lovely quiet area. The staff were very friendly and the room and food were excellent. There is a nice walking area behind the hotel which is very picturesque and peaceful.

Saplinbrae and its staff have a very engaging, understated approach which I find very refreshing. The building has many features from its past which creates a pleasing ambience, and the quality of the food and service matched that.

Amazing staff and hotel

Saplinbrae Hotel, Mintlaw (near Peterhead) We recently stayed at the Saplinbrae Hotel and were thoroughly impressed. The hotel offers a warm, comfortable atmosphere with the added convenience of on-site parking. Despite being busy during our visit, the staff remained professional, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout. Their friendly service made the experience all the more enjoyable. Dinner was the highlight of our stay. As we hadn’t booked in advance, we ate in the bar rather than the restaurant, but the food was still excellent and the setting was relaxed and welcoming. If you want to dine in the restaurant, it’s definitely worth reserving a table ahead of time to avoid disappointment. Breakfast was also good, with plenty of choice, but it was the evening meal that truly stood out. Overall, Saplinbrae is a charming and well-run hotel that delivers on comfort, service, and quality dining. We highly recommend it for a relaxing stay in Aberdeenshire.

Apartment had been recently decorated andcwas in excellent condition.
