Gardenstown Hotels

"Excellent service staff were wonderful"

"Lovely hotel, great nights sleep."

"The Davron Hotel was a perfect stop along our tour of Scotland. It checked off all of the boxes for us. The room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was delicious, parking out front was available, and being close to the scenic seaside was nice. All staff members were kind, courteous and welcoming. We were satisfied and absolutely recommend. Well done Davron Hotel. "

"Great breakfast and food overall. Staff very friendly and helpful. "

"Fabulous new room with sea view. Stayed many times and food always excellent too."

"Very quiet in a quaint setting "

"I love the Wee Cottage! My husband joined me for the first 4 days and I stayed for another 10. The cottage is SO cute and just what everyone wants for a writer's retreat! My husband and I did the Duff House walk & Banff history walk (there is a WalkHighlands website that has a ton of walks). For dinner we went to a lovely restaurant at the top of the hill in MacDuff, Knowles Hotel. We also grabbed groceries as there is no shop in Pennan!We went to Macallan for tastings and dinner at Time:Spirit (you’ll need reservations for both). I would recommend lunch versus dinner (6 vs. 10-courses) or head to The Craigellachie Hotel pub, we had an excellent lunch. In Aberlour, there is a lovely butcher, great fancy foods store, Walker Biscuit factory and store, and the walk up to the Linn waterfall is fun. Keith also looks great, but we didn’t have time!Johnson of Elgin has a full factory tour that was very worthwhile. Seeing the full operation was one of my favorite things and we then had a full tea there. They only do the full tea with 24-hours notice so make a reservation. We enjoyed walking around Elgin as well and did stop at a few of the small towns on the way. Without a car, Pennan means a bunch of walking which was just what I was looking for! Gardenstown and Cullen are great!I spent lots of days just hanging out, walking the Pennan beach head, enjoying Coastal Cuppie and Pennan Inn, and sitting in my cashmere socks (Johnson of Elgin).I’ll be back for two weeks again!"

"Great value- basic room but comfortable. Shower and toilet area very clean and well Maintained. Quiet. Makings for tea and coffee"

"A cosy and comfortable guest house, the room and bathroom was spotlessly clean. The small en-suite single bedroom had everything you need (although the tv was quite high up, however there is a small sitting room with sofas and a larger tv if you want it). The host was welcoming and attentive, and the breakfast choice was excellent and very nicely done. Would happily stay again if I was in the area. "
