So much to like about Cambus O'May hotel, all thanks to owners and staff and their attention to detail, really lovely, comfortable stay, with great dinner in the bar and Continental breakfast in the morning with such a stunning location and grounds. Bathroom and room we had had some much character and really well thought through. Looking forward to another stay

Everything😊, this was my first stay at this hotel with my dog. the hotel is so very relaxing, clean and exceptional in every way😊 The staff are very welcoming and friendly, they were very supportive of me being profoundly deaf😊 there is no deaf gadgetry in case of a fire, however I was extremely happy that if there was a fire at night someone would come into my room and wake me up, This is a big plus for me👌 There are Fabulous walks in the surrounding Forrest 😊 I have booked to come back for Christmas 😊 Also dog friendly, this is also a big plus for me😊 Dogs are not allowed in the dining room but are allowed everywhere else. So you can eat breakfast in the bar area with your dog...👌😁

The staff were very friendly and helpful in giving information about the local area. The food was very good and reasonably priced. The hotel grounds were excellent with plenty of walks for our dogs. The vision and the style. This hotel will only get better as the owners develop it further.
Minor things but detail is important. Phase the dining bookings to ease the workflow. Salt and pepper pots for every table and a black pepper grinder for the restaurant. Glasses in the dining room for fruit juice at breakfast. The mattress was comfortable but the bed frame was very noisy (room 14).

Wonderful Victorian mansion with historical furniture and decoration. Great beds, very comfortable, fluffy high quality bedding. Quiet and peaceful. Old free standing bathtub, we loved it. Plenty of hot water. Warm and cosy in all places, open fire at the bar. Choice of well described local Whiskies. Dinner and wine menu with good choice, we liked the salmon and the steak. (Due to some issues, see below, we didn’t come back to dinner the second evening.) Nice guests, we met a former local who told us a lot about the environment and gave us a valuable recommendation where to buy local wool.
While Derek and Heather and the senior bartender were very welcoming, attentive and helpful, the junior manager did everything to repel us: Her obnoxious dog ran around and barked at us upon entering the hall or at breakfast; although all dinner guests agreed there was no need for the television, she switched it on; and after the bartender and I had had a very friendly and creative exchange on the music for the evening and how we could avoid the commercials of “Alexa“, Ms. Junior told me off. It is a pity to spoil the otherwise cosy atmosphere of such a beautiful and original place with radio broadcasts (at breakfast) and US 50s Christmas playlists interrupted by frequent commercials.

The property is set back from the road with the most stunning views. It’s a short walk from the Cambus O’May Suspension Bridge. The staff are super friendly, the food is amazing (I had roast pork for dinner and it was delicious) and the bed with its down bedding gave me the best nights sleep. A great option if visiting Balmoral Castle as only a short drive.
It was very cold. I visited in December and the main rooms downstairs didn’t feel like they had any heating. There were open fires but it’s a big old property and it was insufficient. The dining room in particular was very uncomfortable in the evening. My room (room 16) was tiny and cold on arrival but they had provided a plug in heater and it soon warmed up.

Great location in lovely gardens and a close walk to the river Dee . It’s a beautiful Victorian building with friendly staff and delicious homemade food . Very dog friendly our boys were made welcome .
Breakfast was nice and a good selection of cereals fresh fruit yoghurt’s pastries if you got down to breakfast early the chocolate croissants were very nice . But these were only put out once so if you came down later for breakfast the selection was very poor and was not restocked when I asked for another croissant I was told breakfast was over when it was before 10.00 and breakfast finished at 10.30 so I had to go without the delicious chocolate croissant that I had enjoyed the previous days .

Love everything about this hotel. Unique. Absolutely stunning location. Beautiful period decor throughout. Clean, comfortable room and gorgeous shower room. LOADS to choose from for breakfast - not cooked but absolutely loads of choice. And plenty hot/cold drinks. And sit looking out at the beautiful scenery. I was there for one night for work but fully intend on a return trip for a few nights of leisure and country walks. Friendly staff who are not in your face but there if you need them. It's beautiful. Go!
My Wifi dropped out repeatedly. Might have been my device..But you won't need it if relaxing. Maybe a few more coffee/milk sachets and wee shortbreads..but definitely wouldn't put me off returning.

Available at the last minute for a very competitive price, the little single room I stayed in turned out to be very comfortable, and the whole hotel is well-organised, friendly and definitely worth considering. The bed was comfortable, the shower worked well, the heating was effective, and that was what I was looking for. Although the usual chef was off so no cooked breakfast was available, there was an extensive and varied selection of other breakfast goods which made it very good value.
The cold tap was loose in the en-suite, but the hotel staff were keen to sort it out when I reported it. The electric heater was effective but a bit past its best - it looks as if someone may have sat on it! The room looks out over a run-down corner of the site (I wondered why the curtains were closed when I arrived) but, for the price I paid, you can't expect sweeping vistas.

A lovely oldy worldly building with I am sure its own 'Ghostly Friends' Plenty of parking and surrounded by woodland. My room (16) was a quaint little single room, décor in keeping with the age of the building but still very comfortable and clean. The Shower room was up a couple of steps but outstanding in style and cleanliness. I loved the tiles. The evening meal was delicious and plenty of it. Continental style breakfast only though, so don't expect a full Scottish.
Sorry but no mirror in the room, just one in the Shower room. I did mention this to reception on leaving and they said they would look into it!!!
