Great place to stop over if travelling the Formartine & Buchan Way.

" I stayed at the Station Hotel in 2024 and liked the experience very much so when i came again in '25 for a couple of nights, I was very pleased to also have a very pleasant stay there. The bedrooms had been fully upgraded with new decor, nice fittings and en-suite facilities. The hosts Maggie and Colin are very friendly and helpful and the bar meals are tasty using local produce. I would have no hesitation in recommending this place to stay and have a meal. "

A wonderful stay.

" Stayed for two nights while attending a family wedding in the village. Colin and Maggie were extremely welcoming and they provided a wonderful dinner for the wedding guests on the first night.

My room was spacious and immaculately clean and the very large en-suite bathroom had one of the best showers I've ever encountered. The breakfasts were exceptional, and certainly enough to last for the whole day. Overall a real gem of an establishment which I would highly recommend to everyone. "

A wee gem of a hotel

" I had a great stay while on a walking trip with my daughter. The food was plentiful and very tasty. I loved the room I stayed in, a very comfortable bed, spacious room and lots of natural light. The en-suite was amazing, lots of hot water and a great shower. Maggie and her husband were great hosts, I would recommend stopping there for a drink, meal or to stay over. "

A Great Stay.

" I have stayed at the station hotel a couple of times now and it’s always a great stay. Maggie and Colin are very welcoming and it’s great to see the pub has become a local hub for the community.

The rooms are large and comfortable with everything you need for a good stay. The room we stayed in this time has been recently modernised to include an en-suite .

The atmosphere and banter in the bar is great. Everyone had a fun night celebrating the Kiltwalk. Due to these celebrations, I didn’t make breakfast however my husband went down and he said it was delicious. Our dog was given his own breakfast plus a treat for our other dog who stayed with me!!

This is a friendly welcoming hotel - it’s a great stay. "

Hospitality with a warm heart

" This was an overnight stay with breakfast and dinner, so I experienced the full enjoyment of this family hotel. These hardworking and popular people are busy upgrading the hotel to modern standards, but they have kept the best of the traditional interior, small reminders of when this place was right at the centre of a very busy village, complete with railway line and agricultural mart, both of which have been repurposed to great effect. See Maud Railway Museum and Old Mart Cafe for details. The welcome at the Station Hotel is warm and informative, complete with unnecessary apology for some ongoing refurb noise. It's obvious everything's being done to a very high standard. The room was comfortable, clean and the tea tray contained an extra selection of fruit and herbal teas and a brunch bar that was more interesting than the usual biscuits. Evening meal was in the bar, where it quickly became obvious what a popular place this is for locals, including a jolly book group, and others who just popped in for a drink and a natter. The food was great, made all the more special by a section in the menu dedicated to local sources... and they really were (sometimes the word local does a bit of heavy lifting), so here's what was on my plate... fruit and veg from Longleys of Maud, seafood from McConnell's of Stuartfield and Peterhead and - when I return, which will be soon - most likely meat from Ewan Morris of Mintlaw and Stuartfield. Wow! And I have to give a shout out to the chef, especially for the smoked haddock fishcake, which is now up there with Cullen Skink on my delishfishometer chart. After a comfortable night, breakfast was in the oldest part of the hotel, a room filled with charm and history. I opted for the smaller breakfast as I was attending a morning event elsewhere, but the eggs were beautifully cooked and tasty, and I could have as much toast as I wanted. I was sad to leave this hotel with its lovely hosts and staff. A lot of bigger places could learn from the Station Hotel's Hospitality With A Heart. "
