The Redgarth

If you're looking for authentic Scottish hospitality then look no further. While my colleagues were staying here overnight as I visited family on business, we all enjoyed a lovely meal with traditional Aberdeenshire flair. Simple, tasty grub topped off by outstandingly friendly service and sensible prices. Manager Stuart made sure we were all warmly looked after. I took a peak into a colleague's room, which was massive and according to them, extra comfy. A hefty breakfast platter the next day made me envious I had not slept over too. Look forward to returning for a meal when next in the area and highly recommend to anyone for a meal or somewhere to stay.

Our favorite hotel of the trip, wish we could have stayed an extra day. Huge parking lot, beautiful garden set in the peaceful village of Oldmendrum. This boutique hotel with just 6 rooms is nestled in an upscale neighborhood. Our Deluxe Double Room with Balcony was very spacious with comfortable chairs and coffee table, desk, king sized bed, shelves, and nightstands. The bathroom was similarly large with tub/shower combo and plenty of room for our personal toiletries. The hotel and rooms were tastefully and colorfully decorated. We stayed in the “Yew” room (loved this, being a tree-lover). The front view was of the staff parking lot (not busy) and the neighborhood. The back view from the bathroom was the wider view of the valley. The room next to ours (Ash) had a better balcony out the back. One of the best features of this room was the skylight with light blocking shades so we were still able to go to sleep at a reasonable hour amid the late sunset. We were able to walk from the hotel around the town though a car is required to get to Oldmeldrum. The restaurant was excellent. The bar offered a large selection of Scottish made gins and whiskies. This was a favorite spot for locals. The owner and host, Stuart, is extremely welcoming and friendly—we felt like family! Dinner was excellent. I had the Sunday roast—marvelous. We chose to eat both nights’ dinners at The Redgarth. Included breakfast was cold—fruit and yogurt and then pastries, cheese and cold cuts—very filling and fresh! We highly recommend this hotel.

Arrived to a very warm welcome & a beautiful room. We were delighted with the facilities and thoroughly enjoyed the food; breakfast & dinner. All staff were exceptionally pleasant and knowledgeable of the local area. Would certainly recommend a stay.
