We chose Durn House after friends recommended it and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted with tea beautifully presented in the drawing room, and then were shown round the house. We had the room over the front door; a large room, very comfortable four poster bed, and a huge bathroom with the bath in the middle. With a "gentleman's club"... More

We were looking for something nice to see us over for a wedding we went to. But I can categorically say that we got way way more than we expected. The couple who own and run the place are so welcoming and professional. They had the balance between warm family welcome and also being professional and giving excellent service. It... More

Durn House is one of the few hotels on Trip Advisor which matches up to the great reviews it recieves. And rightly so. Sandra and John have, with painstaking accuracy, recreated a beautiful home but most importantly for us, the service is impeccable- we arrived very late after problems with the flights into Aberdeen and there they were, with tea,...

A warm and friendly welcome set the tone for a very enjoyable visit in this fascinating house. Our hosts were attentive but allowed us room to relax and marvel in the the beautiful surroundings they have created, Lovely accommodation, superb food and we will be returning. What a gem of a place.

This was one of the quirkiest places we have been lately. It was like a house party where you were in the middle of the owners life. Alison was terrific and kept us entertained as well as looking after all our needs. The place lent itself to talking to other guests and the whole experience was different. Would recommend to...

My wife and I were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived at Durn House. We stayed in the Dunbar Suite which was huge, including a massive bathroom with freestanding bath! The sitting room has a big fireplace where we sat for a drink before going out for dinner (just a heads up - there are not... More

I am a lazy Tripadvisor member, having been on Tripadvisor for 1 year having never written a review, until now. Our experience at Durn House was so outstanding that I simply had to leave one. From the moment we arrived we felt at home and very well looked after. Our hosts, John and Sandra have managed to achieve what others... More
