Stayed one night at the Marykirk Hotel during the week before Christmas and returned with two local friends for dinner on a very cold, snowy night.
My room was comfortable, well furnished, and warm. I liked the trouser press. In the morning, the enormous cooked Scottish breakfast arrived quickly and was delicious.
Evening dinner was superbly cooked by the new chef and was served on piping hot plates; all three of us thoroughly enjoyed the food, especially the Beef Wellington.
The charming lady owner was very attentive and the waitress served the food efficiently and kept the drinks flowing. They also had my favourite malt whisky in stock.
The weather outside was awful with a heavy fall of snow, but the car park was accessible and the interior of the Hotel was as warm as toast. There was a large Christmas tree beautifully lit and decorated standing in the corner of the bar.
The blazing log fire in the bar and dining area was particularly welcoming and I noted a lot of people having meals and drinking at the bar – considering the terrible weather outside, a very good indicator of the popularity of the place.
I thoroughly recommend this hotel, both for food and as a place to stay; It’s a traditional family-run country hotel in a lovely rural area. I felt very welcome there and it’s warm and cheerful. It was a real haven in the terrible weather that week.
And the owner gave me a Christmas card. Nice touch.!
