“Saplinbrae Hotel impressed me with its dedication to local sourcing; the restaurant's rotating menu reflects the day's best from nearby farms and waters. The option of self-catering lodges makes it especially appealing to families seeking a bit more space and independence. Its proximity to both golf and nature reserves positions it well for those looking to experience the best of Aberdeenshire.”
