When you are looking for 5star and excellent service, the Marcliff is your hotel. We needed a hotel that would deal with a smoker in the now nonsmoking Scotland. They gave us 2 side by side rooms with doors that opened out on to the graveled patio area, perfect for my husband, yet allowed my daughters and me a smoke... more

Very nice hotel in a pleasant location not far out of the city centre. Good food and a wonderful lounge bar. Rooms well apointed and staff very good. more

Nothing on the breakfast menu for vegetarians so I had half a slice of toast for breakfast! They ran out of bread so we had to ask for more, no glasses for the fruit juice so we had to ask for again.The aberdeen rolls were brick hard and not fresh.

Although many... more

I have always been sceptical about packages over the Festive period. Today we have returned from a wonderful trip at the Marcliffe and my scepticism has been blasted away. Even though the function was for a large number of people the food was exceptional. Breakfast the next morning was a delight with all staff wishing you a happy New Year... more

We stayed at the Marcliffe for one night in December as we were attending a wedding at the hotel the next day. The public areas downstairs are fantastic. Traditional 'country house' style decor with plenty of big comfy sofas and open fires. We arrived after midnight due to a delayed flight but staff were helpful and attentive, and we were... more
