Raemoir House Hotel
Raemoir House Hotel

Now under the ownership (September 2010) of Neil & Julie Rae of the AA rosetted Milton Restaurant, Banchory, the Raemoir House Hotel is open daily to non residents where we offer for Morning Coffee and Mary's Scones, Lunches, Suppers and Dinner. We also serve afternoon tea with an indulgent champagne option throughout the afternoon.

In the quiet seclusion of 11 acres of parkland the Hotel sits just to the north of Banchory at the foot of the Hill of Fare. The magnificent granite Georgian mansion has stood since 1817 but was first used as a hotel in 1943 by the inimitable Kit Sabine and Peggy Jordan. Their hospitality was second to none and established Raemoir as one of the leading Country House Hotels in Scotland - a goal that Neil and Julie are looking to recreate.
