Reviews and Ratings
The Buchan has a lot going for it, especially the incredible breakfast that stands out as one of the best I've had. While the rooms were clean and staff were generally helpful, my recent dining experience was not up to par. From my late lunch to the carvery, the food service felt inconsistent and left me a bit disappointed. Overall, I found good value for money, but specific issues made my visits less enjoyable this time.
I had a fantastic stay at The Buchan Hotel! The cleanliness throughout the property was remarkable, making me feel genuinely welcomed.

The Buchan Hotel offers a very clean atmosphere with excellent staff and an outstanding breakfast. However, the carvery experience felt a bit awkward since it was plated instead of self-served. The rooms are pleasant but might benefit from some updates. Overall, it’s a solid choice, especially for breakfast lovers.
I enjoyed my stay at The Buchan Hotel, where the cleanliness and exceptional breakfast were highlights. The friendly team made me feel welcome, and the evening meals surpassed my expectations. However, I found the carvery experience a bit odd as it was plated for us rather than self-served, which took away from the fun of a traditional carvery.
I had an amazing stay at The Buchan Hotel! The cleanliness of the entire establishment was impressive, and the breakfast truly stood out as one of the best I've ever had. The location next to the river made for a lovely stroll, and while the dinner was great, I did find the portion sizes a little on the smaller side. Overall, the value for money was excellent, especially with the added bonus of free parking.
My visit to The Buchan Hotel was overall quite enjoyable. The cleanliness of the place is exceptional, and the breakfast is among the best I've had in any hotel. However, my dining experience for lunch left a lot to be desired, with several menu items not meeting expectations. Despite that, the friendly and accommodating atmosphere of the staff and the pleasant setting near the river contribute to a satisfying stay.

The Buchan Hotel offers a truly delightful stay with an exceptional breakfast that is often hailed as one of the best around. The staff's warmth and attentiveness stand out, making for a welcoming experience. However, the rooms could benefit from a little modernization and some may find them a bit noisy. Still, the location near the river adds to its charm, along with excellent dining options that are well worth trying.
