Ythanview - Aberdeenshire

Went to Ythanview for a funeral tea it was absolutely lovely after such a stressful day this was just what we all needed.Friendly helpful staff food was great price was very reasonable. Would highly recommend.

We visited this restaurant in 2019 and found it to be charming and cozy. However, our experience today was quite disappointing. The staff was unwelcoming and the service was subpar. The food was mediocre, with poorly cooked vegetables and unappetizing green beans. Unfortunately, we do not plan on returning.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. We stopped in for lunch while dropping off a horse and found easy parking across the road for our lorry. The specials were all tempting and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly. If we are passing by again, we will definitely be back.

Cannot fault the service or the food here whatsoever. Have been before but not for a while .Decided to go forvthe Shepherds Pie special and it was delicious. My wife went for the Jays Curry and thoroughly enjoyed it .My sister went for the monkfish special and said it was excellent. The Ythanview was as good as ever and we are looking forward to returning in the near future.First Class

Booked this hotel for the specific trip to photo Red Squirrels, Upon arrival Jay, his staff and the locals all made me welcome. Conversation flowed and the Talisker Whiskey tasted divine. Jay took time out to show me some red Squirrel hot spots, even getting out a OS map to point out the exact location. Once talking to customers it was soon apparent that the area was the right place to see this fascinating creatures. Early door adventures out to the woods did not disappoint, as long as you were quiet portable hide and seat) they came within 2 meters of you and simply got on with their day. Back at the hotel, the room was basic yet had everything you would require TV, Coffee, Tea even Twix bar), very tidy and smelled very clean; the linen was nice to sleep on and the bed reasonably comfortable too. I was the only one staying over that weekend, however there was a special coach party in to support the local football field charity so the bar and restaurant was very busy. I retired early that night and Im pleased to say that the double glazing and distance away from the main bar area meant there was little noise coming in to the bedroom.. I fell asleep and slept like a log. Jay and his team support the local community and have helped them to gain access to some fabulous recreational facilities such as football field, Cricket pitch and even a bowling green. I wish them well and will be back again to take more pictures of the little and getting rare Red Squirrels. Thank you
