Hotels in Aberdeenshire

For those drawn to dramatic coastlines and ancient history, Aberdeenshire offers a powerful landscape. This is castle country, with over 300 fortresses dotting the rolling hills and cliffs. You can explore the iconic ruins of Dunnottar Castle, perched on a sea-split headland, or the fairytale turrets of Craigievar. Beyond the stone walls, the region reveals the wild beauty of the Cairngorms National Park and fishing villages like Pennan, famous for its red phone box.

Aberdeenshire suits travellers seeking a mix of outdoor adventure and cultural depth. Families love the accessible trails and castle explorations, while walkers and golfers find their paradise along the coast. The city of Aberdeen, with its granite architecture and airport, serves as a practical hub. For a quieter base, consider a stay in a market town like Ballater or Stonehaven, both well-connected by road and rail.

Accommodation here is dominated by charming country house hotels, cosy bed and breakfasts, and practical city-centre options. On HOTEVI, you can find everything from the historic hospitality of The Marcliffe Hotel and Spa to the coastal comfort of The Ship Inn in Stonehaven, the golf-focused Meldrum House, or the modern convenience of the Sandman Signature Aberdeen Hotel.
