Due to a booking mistake by my partner, we had nowhere to stay after travelling up to aberdeen from glasgow. Every hotel in aberdeen was fully booked! We eventually managed to book the last available room in Durn House and thank goodness! This house is stunning. It was like stepping back in time. The bed was amazing, the bathroom....wow!

This place is something of a well kept secret and a real hidden gem. It really is like visiting friends and doesn't feel like a hotel at all, which adds to the appeal. The owners have created something special and it is a real jewel in the north easts crown. We have been twice in a month, the second of... More

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.

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

We booked a night at Durn House as a last minute decision on a long weekend trip to Edinburgh for our wedding anniversary, and we are very glad that we did! It was well worth the rather long drive, and we only wish we'd had longer to spend there. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by John and Sandra, enjoyed... More

My husband and I spent a night at Durn House to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I had stumbled across this gem entirely by accident but what a discovery! The building itself is stunning to look at. There was an interesting moment as we tried to figure out whether the front door was actually the front door, but soon as we... More

We stayed at the luxurious Durn House for their first ever Gourmet night on Friday the 15th of February. It was a special treat for us and from the moment we walked in we felt special and in a different world. The mansion has been beautifully and lovingly restored and the bedrooms are amazing! We stayed in the Dunbar suite... More
