Thanks to James and all the staff at Waterside hotel for a lovely twixmas break. Thanks also to Michael from Tartan travel for a safe journey to and from the hotel and for the trips to Fraserburgh, Banff, Stonehaven, Peterhead and Aberdeen. Definitely recommend Waterside hotel and Tartan travel. Have a great Hogmanay and all the best for 2024

Stayed in the hotel with Glenton Coach tour over New year celebrations. The hotel is located on the edge of Peterhead with a lovely scenic area to walk along to the beach. Aberdeen, Stonehaven and other places are a drive away. The hotel manager Jim and his staff were 1st class, so helpful and friendly and attentive. The meals were excellent and a good choice of menu options. Rooms were spotless and great facilities within the hotel too. Gym, swimming pool, snooker bar and evening entertainment.

Like the way, the manager came on the coach and told us our room numbers. The keys were on the outside of the rooms. No hanging about. Straight off coach and into rooms. Brilliant idea.Rooms: Rooms were lovely.Food & drinks: Food was excellent.

What a brilliant hotel this is. As other reviews mention, the staff make it. Without exception they are friendly and welcoming, a real credit to the hotel.We booked for a low cost family night away on a deal that gave us leisure club access. The rooms are spotlessly clean, the food great, and the leisure facilities were brilliant, a big hit with the youngest member of the family. We will be back to enjoy their hospitality again, thank you team Waterside for making an otherwise dreich weekend so enjoyable.

Drinks are extortionate eg draft cocktail and half a lager shandy almost.£10. ( Half the cocktail was froth in a champagne glass ). Service could be better. Dinner could be better but breakfast was nice. Room was nice and bed was comfy. The hotel manager was really nice.Rooms: Comfortable and clean
I spend much time in hotels . Majority are holiday inn , premier inn . I find that what makes a hotel is its staff . The waterside hotel has to be at the top indeed . There is nothing like being welcomed like an old friend . I stayed for 4 nights and it was indeed a pleasure . The hotel GM is James . An genuinely pleasant and most approachable ambassador for the hotel . His exemplary standards are reflected by his staff , William , Nicole , Nicola and jade . Again wonderful people. Not forgetting the fantastic staff in the health suite Angela and staff . The facilities are clean and all staff are very eager to please .As a hotelier myself with a large hotel with over 200 guests daily , I would be most honoured and grateful to have members of staff with such great hospitality.The hotel was run like a family business . .Not something you always get. Peterhead has a jewel in its crown . Bravo .Rooms: Clean , fluffy towels , coffee tea facilities and good size television . Sheets were crisp and good selection of soft and hard pillows . Rooms were sizeable and heating was good . No odours . Facilities include a good size fridge , iron and board , hairdryer.Bathroom was clean with good supply of towels and the body wash and shampoo dispensers actually had soap in them . ?Food & drinks: Excellent morning breakfast. Large selection of hot items , including full continental . Coffee was fresh bean filtered . All items were made perfectly .mushrooms and tomatoes were succulent , eggs cooked , not dry , and meat items looked good , albeit I didn’t eat . Well done ??Noteworthy details: The health suite is practical with basic machines and free weights . It has an excellent pool which was warm , a very warm jacuzzi and exceptionally good dry and steam sauna .

We traveled all over Scotland on this trip. We stayed in Hotels and hostels. Not once did we have to pay for wifi until we got here. We booked this place thinking it would be nice to swim and relax in the hot tub after our travels through the highlands, doing some hiking in the rain, and staying in some pretty cramped quarters. Then we find out everything is extra. You have to pay for wifi. You have to pay for the pool. You have to pay for the hot tub. Not to mention how rude the front desk check in woman was (didn’t catch her name unfortunately). Honestly we stayed in hostels that were nicer. One positive…we had breakfast before we left and compliments to the chef because it was delicious.

Stayed here for a week for work, Food was fantastic staff are friendly and the room was clean, mini fridge in room TV was just freeview and no sockets next to bed that was my only gripe with the room, but back to the food... it was great quality fast service and the waiting staff were on point. hotel has a gym, swimming pool and sauna £10 for the week for unlimited access, plenty of parking space. Not really wheelchair friendly if that's what you're looking for. Free WiFi in communal areas and paid WiFi is decent speeds. Overall great place to stay not far from local amenities. Breakfast was also great.
