Thainstone House

Love this hotel. The service is outstanding. It’s a little bit shabby chic but this adds to the charm.

Very good service, clean. Bar lovely and food delicious.

Excellent facilities with plenty space in the room

Bar was a total disaster on this visit lack of staff and product.???

Room was clean but very dusty and requiring some painting/cracks covered but overall extremely well decorated & modern! Breakfast was nice but jucuzzi out of order

Beautiful quiet surroundings and nice period features in the main areas of the hotel. Staff polite and helpful.

Bit of a mixed bag here. For first night given a room which on asking for upgrade was informed hotel too busy on our second nights’ booking so wasn’t possible. On getting to our given room for the two nights, happened to notice an unconnected electrical cable sticking out of wall just below heated towel rail and then became even more critical of this room. However, having been informed previously of no other available options, waited till next morning and, with a different receptionist on duty, asked again about change of room and pointed out the cable problem and two or three other problems encountered with the room and after some investigation another room was available on upgrade which we welcomed and took immediate advantage of. What a difference when we entered a lovely Junior Suite and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of our stay at Thainstone.

Beautiful setting. Outdoor jacuzzi enjoyable. Staff helpful and efficient. Beautiful old building but needs a general maintenance. Damage to ceiling of our room not seen to also damaged bath panel just left and supposed to be deluxe room 209 ! Also very elegant dining room with big chandeliers but to my horror most chair seats in dining room very dirty and stained which ruined the ambience. No allowance made for disabled clients many stairs from door to main hotel and also to lower rooms. Also no handrail on lower stairs.

We always love to stay here, but this year there has been a lot of changes that has taken away the spark for us. Still a beautiful place, but the usual atmosphere when you walk in with the music (which is now not playing) use to be magical.

Once we had navigated the A90/A96 junction finding the Thainstone Hotel was easy

The room we were allocated was not what we thought we were booking as seen on the Expedia site when we spoke to the receptionist we were allocated the proper room without any issue and with a pleasant nature so full marks for this service . The room although better, still had some issues which can be addressed with a coat of paint especially in the bathroom ,Unfortunately it does not have very good soundproofing as when the bathrooms are being used in the adjacent rooms and the rooms above its possible to hear the shower running and the water being flushed away not too good if the other residents have an early start . the bar prices are a wee bit on the steep side I am afraid

Property was lovely as were the grounds. Not far from Aberdeen airport. But the length of time it took to serve breakfast let the hotel down. Unsure if we would return.

We had a lovely stay pool facilities a real bonus thank you

Enjoyed our short stay but refreshment tray in room very limited

We enjoyed our stay, but unfortunately we had 2 dogs outside our bedroom window barking in the evening and again in the morning. There were no rooms available that we could move to, so had to put up with it. Staff did try to find the owners and speak with them. Unfortunately, the coffee had run out in the bedroom, only one biscuit and no drinking water in our room, The spa pool is tired but still enjoyable. We missed being able to sit/lie in the pool area, but I suppose there’s not much space for chairs by the pool. We were disappointed hardly any drinks available beside the pool, also warm to drink. Breakfast was amazing!! We enjoyed a game of draughts, and the hotel itself is beautiful! Just such a shame we had such a noisy room.

Schnuckliges Hotel, das noch so viel mehr Potenzial hätte. Das Haus ist von innen und außen richtig toll. Man fühlt sich wie in einer alten Landadelsresidenz. Mit dem Flair kommen aber auch die Problemchen wie starke Hellhörigkeit und mangelnde Möglichkeiten zur Luft und Temperaturregulierung in den Zimmern. Wir haben unsere Übernachtung hier dennoch genossen, aber für längere Aufenthalte müsste ein wenig nachgebessert werden.

Our stay was great from really nice room, staff welcoming, great facilities and lovely food.

Needs a renovation. The building is very nice, but it has not been well kept.

I can say the staff were always on hand, the price was very competitive and the location is perfect for relaxing or visiting Aberdeenshire. I would stay again, however i would not stay in the small room it was far to small for a coupleand our small dog and made the 4 nights stay very difficult. We decided to cut short our stay because the price difference between our room and upgrade was almost double. There are also a few things to be aware of dogs are not permitted in the restaurant, which is fair enough, so we drove to Inveruruie each morning for breakfast and eat out for all meals, however some guest did leave their pets in the room and we experienced barking which did set off others. Maybe this could be easily fixed, but we found out at checkout that we could have eaten in the bar area which had we known this and other guests, may have done? The pool and gym are good addition but small. As this is dog friendly your experience relys on other owners thoughtful and respect of other guests and there is plenty of grounds to excersise your pet. All in all this location is ideal for visits and good value, I,d recommend booking a larger room and speaking to the staff who will always speak to owners should they leave un attanded dogs in rooms,

Beautiful hotel
