The Commercial Hotel

This was a really nice gem, not far from Cairngorms National Park. The staff was really friendly and welcoming. The food was great and the service as well. They had a nice bar where we could have some drinks, play some pool and even choose music from a jukebox, which gave a nice atmosphere. The rooms were well equipped, clean and spacious. Would definitely recommend!

Impolite and foul mouthed owners with a chronic understaffment. Waiting times are excessive and main hall smells from the unclean toilets. Food is batch prepared in advance and was cold in centre in this instance a steak pie that was microwaved. Bar staff were friendly but wine glass was dirty and covered in lint. Bar staff constantly being shouted from bar causing long waiting times at dirty bar. Undermotivated over worked staff results in a genuinely depressing atmosphere. Avoid at all costs

Went for family birthday lunch 🥰 first class🤓 small portions available for children 🥰 could not fault the commercial in the slightest 🤓 staff excellent 🥰 and the Hotel is scrupulously clean 🥰 extensive menu 🤓 on a very cold sunday the commercial was lovely and cosy 🥰

Room was comfy and clean. Good shower. Had dinner and the fish and chips were very good!

Clean comfortable rooms, great atmosphere with fantastic staff. Good choice of food, with specials most nights. Kitchen was flexible in providing early breakfast outside normal hours at the weekend when we had an early start to our activities for the day.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this hotel. Fantastic accommodation, good food. Friendly staff. I couldn't have asked for any more. An absolute gem.

This place was so cute and quaint!! The staff were lovely, rooms great, good food and wonderful atmosphere. A real surprise find!

I thoroughly recommend The Commercial Hotel in Tarland and have stayed there 3 times in the last month, either with my wife or on my own. It is a Deeside country hotel, not a resort. It doesn’t have a swimming pool but it has parking, an area to sit outside when it’s warm enough, a public bar and a restaurant. Its range of food is surprising. Everything I have had is delicious and in generous quantities. I recommend the beef and Guinness pie and sticky toffee pudding - both found in hotels all over the northeast but really excellent in Tarland. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped - good pressure in the showers, large towels, plenty of hot water. And you will be warm. The breakfast is equally good - both a cold buffet and a choice of cooked dishes. It’s efficient and friendly and has parking at the back. Excellent place.

The food had great selection of gluten free options , was delicious and the portion size was satiating . Very , very good value for less money than neighbouring local establishments . We had roast pork with roast potatoes and separate plate of vegetables. Sticky toffee pudding and crumble .
