Very good value for money. Shed out back for charging e-bike was good. Evening meal was very good. Cooked breakfast was a wee bit disappointing.

Exceeded expectations.

Excellent stay for my one night stay; a Sunday. Pretty busy but service was great - genuinely interested in customers. Nice to have real ale and homemade food options. Comfortable room, good beds and facilities.

Beautiful views around Tarland. Not your ‚usual‘ hotel. Very friendly service and good food at reasonable price.

Gem of a hotel

This is a gem of a hotel well situated for Balmoral and other attractions. Spacious well appointed rooms with generous sized en- suite. Friendly and helpful staff. Great food choices and well cooked.

Excellent service & friendly staff

Wonderful & friendly staff. I left my motorbike safely around the back in the car park. The food was excellent I will definitely be going back!
Claire, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We thought the hotel was lovely. Spotlessly clean inside, the rooms were very well equipped apart from the shockingly poor non steam iron in the room. The bed was super comfortable and all of the staff were incredible. Nothing was too much trouble, everyone was super welcoming and friendly and helpful. All of the food we had during our stay was lovely . Generous meals sizes and wonderfully prepared. The hotels is well managed and maintained and run by a wonderful team . I highly recommend this place to stay, you wont be disappointed. We will defo come to stay again .next time for longer. Thank you so much for making our time in Scotland so special .

We had a lovely weekend. Everyone was very helpful and friendly especially Karen. Will recommend to friends and family. I left my I-Pad in the room and they posted it to me very quickly free of charge
Joan, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Some of the staff are amazing, such as the young lady serving the breakfast, and the one checked me in. However, my second morning’s breakfast was not served in a best way it could’ve. This property has great deal of potential; it’s like a place that was 4-star at some point in the past. The room was cozy, although small. There was fake eyelashes next to the toilet, and lots of hairs on the bed cover. I had dinner with them once, and the food was really good. Parking was pretty convenient, too.
Hessam, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a little gem within a quite remote part of Scotland. If you're vegan, as I am, then this little hotel caters for you, even offering a vegan/veggie menu in the inhouse restaurant. The staff are friendly and helpful, prices are reasonable, rooms are comfortable and clean and it's clear that someone has put some thought into the facilities of the room and what a guest may require. The breakfast was great too. The only downside was the bedding. There are no duvets, just thin sheets and a blanket. There was a spare blanket in the room, but it still doesn't beat the comfort and practicableness of a duvet, in my opinion. It was a little chilly and the radiator wasn't on. A duvet is a a definite must in any accommodation these days, I would suggest. I travel a lot and put this hotel up there as one of my favourites. I will be back.

Hidden Gem

The Commercial is a deceptively discrete hotel, somewhat off the beaten track. The unpretentious external appearance belies a sizeable establishment which has been extensively refurbished internally to a high standard, with very comfortable rooms and furnishings. Run by the same family for 17 years, the hotel has staff who are all extremely friendly and helpful, serving excellent, reasonably priced meals with a wide menu of home made food and local beers. Tarland itself is centred in an area of estates, through which there are numerous, well maintained, walking routes - all well signed! - and with the availability of comprehensive leaflet guides at the hotel. Nearby are ancient stone circles, a golf course, the elegant church (and also church ruins) and even a neatly kept bird hide (where 2 woodpeckers were seen, together with many other birds) all of which is surrounded by beautiful views. This is in addition to the close proximity of Tarland to the River Dee, with access to yet more pleasant walks and to the various local towns, such as Aboyne and Ballater. Overall, a great find that will certainly be considered for a return visit.
