Overall, it seems like a solid choice for those seeking a friendly, local experience in Ellon.”

reception absence poor ventilation
i encountered some issues . there was no one at reception when i arrived. the room lacked ventilation in both the main area and the shower room. i had to actively seek out information like the car park exit code and the internet password. vacating the room by 10:00 am felt a bit early too, especially since most places allow until 11:00 am.
