Buchan Hotel

Stayed here one night,twin room,2 x single beds,on my own for work purposes..bed itself rather springy with not the comfiest pillows..however..dinner was excellent,as was breakfast,a real full Scottish with excellent local ingredients cooked to perfection..girl who appeared to be in charge both with booking you in plus running dining room was very efficient and helpful..a proper hospitality worker I’d say..def stay again and hope my mattress was a little firmer😀👍

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast and evening meals are good. And when I am in the area again would be my 1st choice to stay.

All of the staff were so lovely, really friendly and couldn’t do enough for you, without being overbearing. I was initially a bit worried when I arrived as the bar was busy with loud music but it was turned off by about 11. The cost was very reasonable too but I would say the staff made it for me.

Good last minute stay to attend a Brewdog beer festival. Helpful staff and good breakfast. The room was fine but the street outside was noisy.

Nice clean comfortable hotel centrally located ideal for my stay, service polite quick and efficient ,good pint in bar.

Very nice food, friendly staff, easy parking and very central.

Only problem was no hot water if you rose early in the morning

We used to visit Buchan hotel for a carvery quite often before covid hit and it was always enjoyable. We decided to make the trip out and went in for a Carvery today. Overall it was ok. We arrived, got our table and drinks orders. We opted for the carvery. Offer was beef or pork, I asked for both. It is all served for you now, don’t get to help yourself to any part of it so you just have to take what you get. Got 1 slice of each meat, 1 pig in blanket and a yorkshire pudding. The vegetables consisted of a couple of different medleys, one with green beans, tenderstem broccoli and leeks, and one with carrots, parsnips and Pickled onions (but weird) Roast tatties, boiled tatties, skirlie, gravy and spiced veg purée. Overall the food tasted nice and was enjoyable. Didn’t really understand what the point in having a carvery was if it’s plated for you, may as well just order and it get plated in the kitchen. Atmosphere felt a bit tense, there was more staff than customers with 6 or 7 staff all standing just waiting for something to do which made it feel a little awkward. Service was fine but just felt tense. Overall food was nice enough but wouldn’t say we will rush back for a plated for you carvery. We never ordered any desserts, desserts were priced at £7.25 each, so for the 2 of us that would have added on another £14.50 to the bill. Which for 2 plated carverys and 2 juices it came to £37.90 as it was. We weren’t made aware of any deals that most other carvery’s have like 2 courses for a set price so that’s why we just left it. When going to pay the 2 guys at the bar area did look at us then walk away leaving us standing there looking around until one of the ladies came over and took payment.

We were made to feel very welcome by the owner and staff while staying at the Buchan Hotel for a wedding at a nearby venue. Very comfortable room with all necessary amenities at a very reasonable price. Would definitively return in the future.
