Hotel & Accommodation
Resplendant in acres of private gardens and meadows in the heart of rural Aberdeenshire close to the towns of Ellon and Huntly, Thainstone House is a hotel wih a dramatic history including Jacobean politics and the American Declaration of Independence. Today it is an altogether more relaxing environment, but still retains its grandeur and beauty.

The spa treatments were fab and staff just lovely, but the surrounding infrastructure was poorly heated and there was nowhere to comfortably sit in a bathrobe between treatments. I gave food 1 star because I had to but there was no food. No cosy little room with herbal teas etc. Nothing. Thainstone needs to decide whether to go the whole hog and do this properly or not bother at all.
I had a lovely relaxing time when I booked a spa package at Thainston House Hotel. I went on my own but didn,t feel like I was on my own as the staff were very welcoming and friendly. I had a very relaxing massage which was bliss,and then after a swim and the steam room I had lunch. It was very nice with a table reserved for me beside the coal fire and a lovely member of staff who attended to me. Will definitely return here again.
When arriving I was unsure of who to approach as staff did not have appropriate attire or name badges on. When we did find a staff member we were not instructed very clearly of how the day would go or any facilities we could use. I had to ask when the light lunch would be served and where we had to go for it. We left early to get our food. The food however was lovely and service very good. The treatment itself and the therapists carrying out the treatment was very professional and provided a great service. It's a shame the front of house staff in the spa let it down. The facilities are dated and need upgraded. The Jacuzzi was freezing and we were unable to use it. Several lockers were broken and the cleanliness of the pool and changing area was not great. Overall I would not return or recommend the Spa.

Really mixed. The hotel was lovely and cosy, but the Boy's Room snooker room with its sexist posters was an insult to every female guest. The staff were adorable and really trying to do their best but there was a lack or managerial control that left bars unattended and food late and luke warm. So nearly wonderful, such a shame.
