"I always enjoy visiting for lunch or coffee, and their berries are the best I've ever had! The service is consistently excellent, and the quality of the products is outstanding. Be sure to make a reservation for lunch in advance, as it can get really busy and you might not find a spot otherwise!"

"Three star hotel? Only in price! The Redgarth exceeds all expectations. 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."

"Dining is at present in the new Ballroom due to the Pineapple restaurant closure for Covid 19 restrictions. This in no way detracts from the dining pleasure. Tables are well spaced out. The staff are plentiful, polite and extremely helpful. Food as usual was excellent. Altogether a fabulous dining experience. We had booked to return but sadly Covid 19 forces closure I can easily recommend booking."

"The surroundings are gorgeous, service was good alas there was quite a delay in receiving our food due to how busy the dining room was. We were advised that because there was a backlog in the kitchen meals were taking longer to come out. The cave bar is lovely, but it was cold, the door is close to reception, and with lots of guests arriving to attend a wedding, the draft through the bar meant that jackets had to be left on. Service and food was great."

"adult festive afternoon tee was ok, a lot of sweet choice compared to the hearty. child festive afternoon tee is not very child-friendly, especially for the food of the edifice. the sweet selection was was wasted, as they only ate the cookies and the meringue snowmen. sandwiches were simple and simple. the service was very bad, very slow, waited an hour and a half for our food. children were in hunger. it took a long time to get our drinks too. they also had no kinder drinks, which was a shame. the personal was pleasant enough, simply not very fast. the ballroom was breathtaking with all Christmas decorations."
