Top marks to the Station Hotel Portsoy for having every thing right for our stay. Large room, super clean and fresh smelling with easy to adjust window. Large comfy bed and lovely clean bed linen and towels. Everything we needed! Most notable was the staff: polite, helpful and always there when needed (no hanging about waiting for staff to appear!). Special mention to the breakfast waitress who was super polite, smartly dressed and ready and willing to assist us. After some disappointing experiences with staff (and lack of staff) in other hotels it was so wonderful to find a hotel that gets these things right, with staff who seemed genuinely happy to help. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Our stay at the Station Hotel in the charming town of Portsoy was an absolute delight from start to finish. As soon as we stepped through the doors, we were enveloped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly put us at ease. The friendly staff were friendly and helpful. The accommodations were impeccable – my room was not only spotlessly clean but also beautifully appointed with cozy touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. And the food? Simply divine! The hotel's restaurant serves up mouthwatering Scottish cuisine crafted from the freshest local ingredients, with a particular focus on incredibly fresh and flavorful seafood dishes. The fish and chips were the best we had in Scotland.

Great position in the centre of town with plenty of local free parking. Friendly, welcoming staff and a good breakfast. Comfy room, spacious bathroom. Good information pack in the room and tray to make drinks.

There was noise on the Saturday night. We know this hotel has a bar but it also has a large hall for entertainments. We would have appreciated being told about the fundraiser and potential disturbance on our first night. We would have been happy to either join in or stay out longer.

What a gem, portsoy is really nice peaceful little place. The station hotel is an old fashioned comfortable hotel with large rooms . The high street is not busy and so not intrusive. Be warned the breakfasts are large and a good veriety of options. Service was pleasant and efficient from the reception Lady , bar Lady through to the Waitress. Give this a try if your wanting a pleasant stay in a peaceful location Highly recommend the fish supper from down the road and sitting by the harbour.

Breakfast was a good selection of fruit, yoghurts, cereal and my favourite granola. Toast machine and plenty of fresh juices and tea coffee. The cooked breakfast had a great choice too and cooked to order. The bedroom was very big with a massive bed, complimentary fizzy water and tea/coffee tray. Roomy bathrooms with shower. Hotel central and the menu is really good. Nothing was too much bother for any of the staff. Would definitely recommend to others and will return in the future to do more exploring.

The water pressure in my shower was very low. Maybe because it was top floor but unsure. I struggle to think of anything else that could be improved.

Well situated - quiet, even though on the main road. Parking easy. Spacious and comfortable room. Excellent breakfast and evening meals were also very good. Friendly ownner and staff.

Only one comment: we stayed for three nights, and were a little disappointed that the menu, including the specials, really didn't vary much. Fine for our three nights, but would have been less so had we stayed longer. Please note - all the food was excellent!

Breakfast was perfect, just what was needed. I don't drink tea or coffee so I'm glad I was allowed to bring my own canned drink without any problem.

Hair on bathroom floor, I knew it wasn't mine as I have short hair. I asked the cleaner to hoover it up on the 2nd day and she did without an issue. Myself and my friends were locked out. Your owner who saw us arrive from our bus that brought us back from a wedding, staggered into the premises and promptly locked us out! He never heard us knock, we struggled with the outdoor key. A wee bit of kindness would have helped!

The owner went out of her way to provide me with a suitable dog friendly room. The lady serving breakfast was very sociable which is important especially when you’re a solo traveler!! Breakfast was amazing 😋 Wonderful ice cream parlour next door and beautiful Loch to walk around…

I hated the seagulls which were on the roof just outside my room 😩 I would recommend staff more sociable to solo travellers just a short “how was your day?” I felt isolated sitting in a corner of the restaurant for dinner facing a wall, which the owner placed me at !! That did spoil my stay a wee bit ☹️

This hotel is over 150 years old and although the room we had was a little dated it had everything we needed. It was roomy and had a hair dryer, comfy beds, tea/coffee, kettle. A good, cooked breakfast was included. We could walk everywhere in this charming town with it's 17th century harbour. Parking was not an issue. We booked a table for dinner and had the most delicious meal. Worth the stop over.

Nothing really.

Great location for the Harbour and touring the area, half hour each way to Speyside and Frazerburgh. Fairly quiet at night even though it's on the main road. Owners and staff very friendly, great breakfasts and value for money.

Stairs may be difficult for some and plumbing a little annoying at times with noise but all part of the building being old and part of its character.
