Delicious Dinner Experience

The Dunes restaurant offered a fantastic dining experience with a diverse menu that was both creative and satisfying. I particularly enjoyed the mouthwatering Peterhead fish and chips, which exceeded my expectations with generous portions and flavorful batter.

Thoughtful Room Touches

Arriving at my room, I was pleasantly surprised to find a complimentary bottle of wine and a beautifully arranged platter of cheeses and hams. It really set the tone for a relaxing evening and showed the attention to detail the hotel provides.

Luxurious Lodging

The lodge I stayed in was pure luxury, featuring two enormous double beds that made my stay incredibly comfortable. The large bathroom, complete with high-quality toiletries, added an extra touch of elegance to the experience.

The decor of the MacLeod House was beautifully curated, marrying traditional elegance with modern comforts. The roaring fireplace in the reception added a cozy feel that made me feel at home immediately upon arrival.

Our stay at the MacLeod House was absolutely delightful. The historical charm of the property added a unique touch to our experience, and we enjoyed exceptional dining during our visit. The staff was incredibly attentive, making us feel special throughout our stay. However, it was disappointing that Macleod House closes for winter, as it has such a fantastic atmosphere that we would love to enjoy year-round.

My experience at MacLeod House was mixed. The hotel itself is beautifully designed and the rooms are luxurious, but the dining options left a lot to be desired, especially given the hefty price tag. While the staff was attentive and friendly, certain amenities and meal selections did not live up to the standard I expected from a 5-star establishment.

The rooms were stunning and luxurious, but we found the dining experience varied; the dinner at the Dunes restaurant was fantastic, while the breakfast could use a bit more variety.
