The main house, was built in 1817 but extensively developed in the Victorian age, the hotel is constructed from the traditional and typical Aberdeenshire granite that is so famously bright in the sunlight that Aberdeen is known as the silver city. The tree lined drive opens out to reveal 10 acres of lawn and parkland, making the hotel an ideal retreat for guests holidaying with dogs. Aberdeen is having the busiest civilian heliport in the world, this is well used and always exciting to see. Additional to the 14 bedrooms in the main house, there are a further 6 located in the even older building known as the Ha' Hoose. This grade 1 listed building dates to 1715.

The hotel is a beautiful, privately owned and run Scottish country house hotel close to Aberdeen, in the glorious landscape of Royal Deeside. The Georgian mansion house sits in wide parkland, a short distance to the north of Banchory in easy reach of all the famous Victorian Aberdeenshire tourist attractions.
