We held our wedding reception here for 115 folk. We expected a high standard and can honestly say that the organisation and delivery easily surpassed our expectations. The meal was excellent, with quality food and fast and friendly service. The whole hotel has recently been refurbished and the staff were friendly and efficient. Most of our guests stayed and ate...

Joint birthday celebratory meal - Sunday lunch with family. Good food spoiled by inattentive, slow service. Plenty of waitresses and busy time but definite lack of efficiency from waitresses on duty. Will not be recommending to other friends and family.

Attended small function (Dinner for 40), stayed for 2 nights with 10 others attending same party. Room spotlessly clean, new bathroom. Food very good both at function and in Restaurant -Scallops & monkfish were fantastic. Staff were mostly local and very friendly. Only drawback is no spa facilities, but that's reflected in the price for rooms. Would happily recommend this... More

Went to this hotel for dinner on a return home to see my family. We had a reservation and were seated promptly, during which time the waitress told us multiple times that we would have a wait before our order as they were so busy. We looked around the (newly expanded and refurbished) restaurant and it was half empty... Took... More

Quite a number of our guests stayed one/two nights and the breakfasts were excellent. Jillian, the young lady who organised the event for us, made sure everything went according... More

Banff Springs is in the middle of an upgrade and the new rooms are excellent and very plush - beds are SO comfy and the fittings are luxury themselves. The breakfasts are marvellous and the wonderful Aberdeenshire people are politeness and helpfulness itself. NOTHING is too much trouble for them! Only thing I'd quibble with is a lack of a... More
