ザ レッドガース(The Redgarth)

Our favorite hotel of the trip, wish we could have stayed an extra day. Huge parking lot, beautiful garden set in the peaceful village of Oldmendrum. This boutique hotel with just 6 rooms is nestled in an upscale neighborhood. Our Deluxe Double Room with Balcony was very spacious with comfortable chairs and coffee table, desk, king sized bed, shelves, and nightstands. The bathroom was similarly large with tub/shower combo and plenty of room for our personal toiletries. The hotel and rooms were tastefully and colorfully decorated. We stayed in the “Yew” room (loved this, being a tree-lover). The front view was of the staff parking lot (not busy) and the neighborhood. The back view from the bathroom was the wider view of the valley. The room next to ours (Ash) had a better balcony out the back. One of the best features of this room was the skylight with light blocking shades so we were still able to go to sleep at a reasonable hour amid the late sunset. We were able to walk from the hotel around the town though a car is required to get to Oldmeldrum. The restaurant was excellent. The bar offered a large selection of Scottish made gins and whiskies. This was a favorite spot for locals. The owner and host, Stuart, is extremely welcoming and friendly—we felt like family! Dinner was excellent. I had the Sunday roast—marvelous. We chose to eat both nights’ dinners at The Redgarth. Included breakfast was cold—fruit and yogurt and then pastries, cheese and cold cuts—very filling and fresh! We highly recommend this hotel.

Very good food, everyone in our party of mixed ages found something to enjoy. Particularly impressed by the food provided from the kids menu to the 4 children in the party which was very good quality and freshly prepared. The hotel kindly allowed us a smaller dining room for our party of 16.

Stayed at The Redgarth after an unexpected dash to Aberdeenshire, the rooms are fantastic and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The pub itself is excellent with an extensive range of food and drink, as you would expect. Fine Scottish hospitality from Stuart, and the breakfasts are excellent; Continental style comprising a huge fruit salad followed by ham and cheese with, in my case, home-made gluten-free rolls and toast. Will definitely be back!

The Redgarth is a superb hotel. The bedroom was spacious and spotless. The en suite was also large and very clean. The continental breakfast was included and was of a very high standard. This hotel is highly recommended.

Arrived to a very warm welcome & a beautiful room. We were delighted with the facilities and thoroughly enjoyed the food; breakfast & dinner. All staff were exceptionally pleasant and knowledgeable of the local area. Would certainly recommend a stay.

We’ve visited the Redgarth on several occasions in the past with our family who reside in Oldmeldrum. It’s a lovely establishment with a fantastic host Stuart/Stewart who gives all his guests a genuinely warm welcome. A very traditional restaurant but very well cared for with a varied and classic menu. The chef I believe has been with them for many years and the quality of the food is excellent. Prices reasonable including the wine. A good selection of beers including ales and they’ve received commendations from CAMRA recently. A good sized car park is situated onsite. Highly recommended and will return on our next visit up North

I haven’t stopped here for about 7 years, and boy have i missed it! Rooms are stunning and immaculate, food is amazing, and staff are brilliant! I spend 2-3 nights away every week and wish i could find places that are even half as good, can’t wait to stay again, can’t praise highly enough

Cannot recommend or compliment the Red Garth and staff highly enough, absolutely superb. The accommodation is of a very high standard, the Maitre D, Stuart, is a superb host and his staff went above and beyond on the service front. We stayed during the weekend of Storm Babet when the weather was not at its best, we were made welcome and nothing was too much trouble to ensure our comfort. Cracking bar with a superb evening menu and amazing breakfast too, a definite bucket list job for a visit and stay. Five stars to the team!

Firstly Stuart could run a course on how to be a top notch landlord. He’s such a good host, chatty, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We had a meal in the pub when we arrived and it was delicious. Served by friendly and attentive, well trained staff. The bedroom was very comfortable, tastefully decorated and a great bed. There was plenty of room in the en suite with a good shower. The continental breakfast was ample with tasty fresh fruit, yogurt and a selection of different breads with jam, cheese and cold meat. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Red Garth to anyone.
