Ferryhill Tavern - Aberdeen City

Dropped by here yesterday for food with my wife and daughter. Got shown to a table. Handed some menus and then nothing………. Waited a good 10-15 and still nobody came near us. Not even for a drinks order. Service is normally really good here too. Left in utter disgust.

Nicely located just 10 minutes walking from the city centre lies The Ferryhill house, with brown cafe, restaurant, white chambers and a nice breakfast. We have had the chamber just up to the front entrance. Room was fine; spacy, nice bed and bathroom. Noise outside the room can be a bit noisy.

Went for breakfast, really enjoyed our meal. The outdoor area is great too! Could benefit from having a screen for matches in the summer outside but all great apart from that.

The room was very comfortable but the down side was that it wasn't serviced properly. Our bed wasn't made or the room vacuumed the whole stay, even though we were told this would happen. I did speak to the management and a resolution occurred but it shouldn't have happened. Be aware it is not right in the city and if you don't have a car it is a good walk or bus. It also means you have to eat in the hotel if you don't have transport, there are no shops nearby. Breakfast was great, except for the last day when the omelette looked like a conglomeration of melted cheese. (Note the first and last photos) Overall, it was a nice place and the staff were lovely.

If you're looking for a tasty meal, great service and a fantastic beer garden but also something for the kids then get yourself down to the Ferryhill House Hotel. Whether it's a casual drink and lunch with friends a big family occasion or corporate day out the team will cater for all. Its brilliant. If its sunny book a table in the beer garden and bring your sun cream it's a proper sun trap.
