Recently stayed here on a Saturday night. Got the 4 person family room which is a double and a sofa bed. Very tight for space - really this is a double room not a family room I'd say. Very clean and recently nicely decorated. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and breakfast was very good. We didnt have dinner on... More

If you are looking for a traditional family Sunday lunch that all ages will enjoy, look no further than the Buchan hotel. Although very busy (which I always take as a good sign) a table was made ready in a few seconds. The carvery was selected by 3 of our group with quality, quantity, taste choice praised by all. Two...

I have never stayed at the hotel but when I used to live in ellon would often visit the restaurant. The carvery on a sunday afternoon is very tasty and great value (have kids portions too). Can also recommend visiting the restaurant for dinner :-)

The decor has been updated in the last couple of years and the menu has been brought up to date. The food is... More

On arrival, the charming receptionist was somewhat overshadowed by the stark (and factually incorrect) anti-smoker notices and legal threats. The carpet was as fitted to my granny's flat in 1973, and was unsurprisingly worn and threadbare on the stairs. The stairs led to the room, the door to which was in complete darkness as changing a light bulb in the... More

Was here with my girlfriend over the weekend for a meal. I was pleased with the wide selection of food on the menu which caters for everyone's taste. Meal was perfect and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the Buchan hotel.
