Pirrie United States of America

Very friendly and helpful staff. Outstanding restaurant.

Peter United States of America

Clean, comfortable room. Luxurious comfortable bed. Impeccable staff. Excellent food in the dining room. Absolutely top-notch.

William United States of America

The Marcliff was a beautiful boutique hotel that exceeded my expectations from the minute we walked thru the door. From the checkin and the bellman to our checkout, this was a wonderful hotel. We enjoyed breakfast daily and even had dinner there twice. The food was delicious and the staff went the extra mile to make us happy and even made me an authentic Scottish dish as a surprise.

Paul United States of America

The staff was outstanding. My room was large and perfectly appointed.

India United States of America

I love everything about the Marcliffe & have stayed here on several occasions but first time staying in the Crathes room downstairs & it was utterly amazing & absolutely huge!! The food & service are also always first class x

Paula United Kingdom

location and comfort. Real five stars. excellent breakfast.

Alexander Malta

Everything was to a high standard. The staff were very professional and chatty. The fruit salad for breakfast was lovely. My eggs Benedict were amazing. I enjoyed the teapot in the room and the shampoo and conditioner had a gentle but edible smell. Superb staff.

Kirsty United Kingdom

The staff are just wonderful - so friendly and helpful and super chatty. They are incredibly attentive to customer needs and are always so positive and welcoming. The room was lovely and the bed was super comfy. The bathroom has lots of little shampoos and shower gels and they provide teas and coffees and shortbread in the room. The room was incredibly quiet as well, and the curtains are like blackout blinds; I could have slept all day.

Corinne United Kingdom
