We stopped here for a quick lunch bite. It was a really pleasant surprise! The food was really, really good and the perfect portion size. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. They have a really nice outdoor balcony so we enjoyed our food with some Scottish sunshine!
Lovely place for a dinner and drinks (or just drinks, as we had on a previous night). Good choice on the menu - we opted for the Sunday roast and it was incredible; one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything on the plate was perfect and the gravy was amazing. The Cullen skink is also worth ordering - delicious.
The service was prompt and friendly, the prices were great - under £10 for a gin and a pint. We’ll definitely come back!
Wonderful service - warm, welcoming and so accommodating! Rooms were spotless and location perfect for our needs. Easy access to beautiful walks.
Great dog friendly place. Staff very friendly and outdoor balcony great. 2 for 1 cocktails Saturdays, food served not tried as had other plans.
The food was amazing, from start to finish. I had the black pudding burger, delicious toppings, perfectly cooked. My wife had the pan fried pork loin. Tasty gravy and red cabbage. Also enjoyed the cask beer after so long under lockdown. Trade Winds went down a treat. Will be back on Tuesday for the 2 for 1 cocktails!
The food was nice. Lovely lunch menu.
The only grumble I have was the rotten songs playing. A 90s playlist by the Corrs and Shania Twain and some other 90s one hit wonders..
Also I must add, I went to the ladies before we left and it seemed very much like non customers were sneaking in through the back open door to use the toilets...
The place wasn't busy when I was in, but the toilets were very busy!!???
This is one place on the Banchory high Street well worth visiting.
There's a good public bar with the usual pool table, big screens, darts etc.
The lounge and a dining area is very well done out.
They have a good selection of beers, the staff are very friendly and attentive.
The food is really good, I was there with a group of friends, we had a couple of the sharing platters for a starter, followed by medium rare ribeye steak. Everything was cooked well and it was reasonably priced.
We had a bottle of merlot, which was very nice too.
It's a great place to spend a Saturday afternoon or evening.
It's also good for families and dog friendly.
Just popped in for a quick lunch today. Enjoyed my tuna sandwich and a cup of coffee too. Staff was very nice and enjoyed my lunch very much. Saw local people eating there so this place must be good.
Thank you to the Douglas Arms Hotel for hosting a funeral gathering a few weeks ago, during Tier 2. The Hotel went above and beyond to cater for us, whilst keeping us safe within all the Tier 2 guidelines. Very much appreciated. The food was delicious too. Thank you.
Some of the best food! Such friendly hosts and so understanding. Room was fine for a family of 4! Overall a great stay, would recommend to anyone in the Banchory area 😄
