The Station - Aberdeenshire

Lovey looking hotel from outside lots of parking. Its not a hotel it's a B&B Only tea and coffee available, the bar down stairs was not re opening so no cold drinks after a 5 hour drive, bread for breakfast was wrapped in cling film and left in the fridge, for the contintental breakfast you help yourself fine enough, all the smoothies had gone over night, there was an open bottle of milk left in fridge a few yougerts and bottles of water. breakfast/dinner area only place to sit apart from room, No ckair in room , no wardrobe just a metal stand thing with 4 hangers. This could be an amazing hotel but needs to be people frendly.

My partner and I arrived at the restaurant on Sunday 31st October around 2pm, fearing we might have missed the Sunday lunch service. To our delight, we were greeted by a team of friendly, professional, and helpful staff. We enjoyed a delicious, beautifully plated meal at a reasonable price, all within a charming dining atmosphere. If we find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely return to this restaurant.

My sister and I had booked an overnight stay at the Station Hotel in Insch. Despite sending texts and emails to let the hotel know we would be arriving at 4pm, we were met with locked doors and no signs of life on the premises when we arrived. A passing neighbor had to contact the proprietor on our behalf, and even then we were left waiting in the cold and windy weather for 45 minutes before ultimately leaving the grounds. This experience was chaotic and completely disrupted our family's plans. We were extremely disappointed in the lack of hospitality and customer service we received, especially during these difficult times for the hospitality industry. The fact that we encountered a locked front door instead of a warm welcome was unacceptable. As seasoned travelers, we have never experienced such a situation where we arrived at a hotel that was expecting us only to find the doors locked. We not only missed out on an overnight booking, but also on the opportunity to have dinner with six family members. We cannot recommend the Station Hotel in Insch for customer service or satisfaction. I would give it zero stars if I could.

Colin and Jackie are very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Rooms are modern and well equipped with plenty of space. At breakfast had good choice of continental or cooked breakfast. Enjoyed being able to have our own lounge area with TV in the evening . Plenty of space in restaurant for covid spacing. well cared for at a funeral tea

I recently moved to the Insch area and today was my first visit to The Station Hotel. I had booked a table for my son for Fathers Day. The venue was beautifully decorated and clean, the staff were pleasant and not overly intrusive. The Fathers Day menu was fantastic, with a prawn starter, roast beef burger and all-day breakfast mains, as well as a well-presented and delicious sticky toffee pudding for dessert, according to the rest of my family. My free Fathers Pint of Tennants was perfectly chilled and poured into a bottom-etched glass, ensuring a refreshing fizz throughout. We will definitely be back as soon as we can. It's a shame that due to Covid, footfall to the Station Hotel has decreased, so they are currently only open on weekends. Hopefully, this situation will improve soon so that both locals and visitors can enjoy the same great experience we had today. Keep up the great work, team, and see you soon!
