The Commercial Hotel

I’ve stayed in this hotel before and decided to go back. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

We stayed 2 nights, arriving on motorcycles; there is a quiet car park to the rear of the hotel. Our room had twin beds and a bathroom with bath, which after a cold day's biking was bliss - lots of hot water! The staff were super friendly, and breakfast was plentiful. We ate supper in the restaurant one evening, again with plentiful tasty food. I'd recommend it!

There were 5 of us for a family Sunday lunch. The service from 2 young members of staff was excellent, the 3 Course meal was great, all the dishes were well-received, the food was tasty and the main Beef Roast was superb. 3 Courses with drinks and under £40 a head - topnotch value for money too! Will def recommend to all friends + family and the many visitors to the area who I work with on a daily basis.

My stay at The Commercial Hotel exceeded all expectations. The facilities, cleanliness and hospitality were amazing, the attention to detail five star. This alongwith the breathtaking views made my stay one which I didn't want to end! Thank you to everyone at The Commercial who made my holiday fabulous.

Impolite and foul mouthed owners with a chronic understaffment. Waiting times are excessive and main hall smells from the unclean toilets. Food is batch prepared in advance and was cold in centre in this instance a steak pie that was microwaved. Bar staff were friendly but wine glass was dirty and covered in lint. Bar staff constantly being shouted from bar causing long waiting times at dirty bar. Undermotivated over worked staff results in a genuinely depressing atmosphere. Avoid at all costs

Went for family birthday lunch first class small portions available for children could not fault the commercial in the slightest staff excellent and the Hotel is scrupulously clean extensive menu on a very cold sunday the commercial was lovely and cosy

I thoroughly recommend The Commercial Hotel in Tarland and have stayed there 3 times in the last month, either with my wife or on my own. It is a Deeside country hotel, not a resort. It doesn’t have a swimming pool but it has parking, an area to sit outside when it’s warm enough, a public bar and a restaurant. Its range of food is surprising. Everything I have had is delicious and in generous quantities. I recommend the beef and Guinness pie and sticky toffee pudding - both found in hotels all over the northeast but really excellent in Tarland. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped - good pressure in the showers, large towels, plenty of hot water. And you will be warm. The breakfast is equally good - both a cold buffet and a choice of cooked dishes. It’s efficient and friendly and has parking at the back. Excellent place.

The food had great selection of gluten free options , was delicious and the portion size was satiating . Very , very good value for less money than neighbouring local establishments . We had roast pork with roast potatoes and separate plate of vegetables. Sticky toffee pudding and crumble .

Stayed two nights in early August 2023. Very comfortable and clean room. Excellent evening meals, and very good breakfast. Ample parking. Staff generally very approachable and friendly. No-one around when we checked out which was a pity as we wanted to mention that thermostat valve had fallen off our bathroom radiator! Hadn't adjusted radiator, but just noticed on last morning that it was on the floor!! Certainly recommend The Commercial.
