Five minutes walk up from BBC Scotland and original site of the Beechgrove Garden, this medium sized hotel has a comfortable, modern lounge in an imposing Victorian, granite building has a well deserved reputation for excellent bar food (last orders for food 9.30 and 8.30 Sun). No longer serving beers from local Deeside Brewery, as supplies were not consistent. Still undecided about what may go on to the spare pump.
