Marks at the Manor

This was the best place we stayed on our Scotland holiday. It felt like home and had pretty much everything, apart from my slippers. The bed was superb, and the furnishings and electronics were high end. There was Alexis, Sat TV, a cappuccino machine, and a full kitchen with a washer dryer and dishwasher. They’d even supplied soaps, shampoo and the rest, plus breakfast cereal, bread and snacks.

We arrived to find our requested champagne on ice and our favourite music playing, a lovely touch for our anniversary. We had our dog with us, and walks are easy: the riverside path is straight across the road, and Duthie Park is less than a 10-minute walk away. Richard was a fantastic, friendly host, helpful before and during the visit. The apartments are packed with smart tech, especially the Alexa controlled mood lighting and music in every room. The bed was the comfiest I’ve slept in away from home, and the apartment had plenty of crockery and utensils for meals. I also loved seeing Spencer come to clean the floors every morning at 11am. We’d booked two nights, then added another because we didn’t want to leave. We came away relaxed and refreshed, and can’t wait to return to Marks @ The Manor. We’re already booking our next stay.

Richard was brilliant, answering my silly questions quickly and sending helpful information well ahead of our trip. We had a lovely stay in Platinum, a gorgeous apartment with everything we needed for our Aberdeen visit. The coffee cupboard was a great bonus. It’s close to Duthie park and well placed for a lovely walk by the river. A true five out of five for us. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer. We’ll stay again, highly recommended.

We’ve stayed at Marks at the Manor twice now, and both visits have been exceptional. The host is easy to reach, checks that everything is all right, and is happy to offer recommendations. The location makes riverside walks easy and gives you straightforward access to the city centre. Inside, the apartment has a luxurious feel and everything you need for a really comfortable stay, plus more. We’re looking forward to coming back on our next Aberdeen visit.
