Saplinbrae and its staff have a very engaging, understated approach which I find very refreshing. The building has many features from its past which creates a pleasing ambience, and the quality of the food and service matched that.

Very clean room could not fault it. Lovely meal and breakfast.
Friendly and helpful staff, made to feel welcome, very comfortable room tastefully fitted out. On a cold winters night the room was cosy and warm. Excellent food with lots of it locally sourced and great quality. Good value. All round a great experience
Great night in a great room - warm and cosy on a cold November night. Dinner was excellent and the morning Full Scottish breakfst really hit the spot! Staff very friendly and helpful throughout.
Quiet and easy to find location. Spacious rooms full of character with attic ceiling and genine Scottish wool blankets. Helpful staff, surprisingly delicious dinner options and full service breakfast.
The Cedar chalet was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Enjoyed breakfast and dinner twice each, where the food was quite tasty. Would love to return someday.
Lovely location for a quiet stay. The staff were very welcoming and room clean and very comfortable.
We had dinner and the food was excellent - sauces so tasty and the fish wonderfully fresh.
Handy location for jumping onto the NE railways trail nearby and also for various local attractions.
What a hidden gem of a hotel! From the anticipated needs when booking to the friendly efficient staff on arrival and throughout out our stay and not forgetting the quality food served. Probably the best cooked breakfast I’ve had too!
I also have to mention the spacious deluxe room that was spotlessly clean and the team who keep it that way.
This is a lovely hotel on the outskirts of Mintlaw. As an old house, it has character. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The meals are excellent. This was our second visit and we will definitely return.
