Saplinbrae Hotel

Originally built in 1756, Saplinbrae Hotel and Lodges showcases the best in relaxed country living, where quality of service and commitment to consistency is excellent, but still personal, fun and inspired.

All of the nine bedrooms have historic charm —original cornices and their own wee quirks— which have been complemented with local art, antique prints and small touches of tweed from the local mill. They are a fitting counterpart to the spectacular views from your window of acres of uninterrupted rolling farmland.

The self-catering lodges can be found in the hotel grounds—firstly, the stone Shooting Lodge which features four double en-suite bedrooms, a large sitting room with wood burning stove and spacious kitchen and dining area. The two cosy chalets each sleep 6 and also feature a stove and well equipped kitchen.

The hotel is located in North Aberdeenshire, and Saplinbrae is the perfect seat from which to enjoy time away: great walks, around the Pitfour Estate and the Buchan and Formartine Line, can be found on the doorstep, as well as Aden Country Park and several local golf clubs including Cruden Bay only a few miles away. The remains of Deer Abbey are just across the road and Saplinbrae's favourite distillery – Glendronach – a 30 minute drive.
