Marion & Andy Tennant Laurencekirk. We have just Celebrated Golden Wedding at Mar Hall over the weekend 17th to 19th May with 70 of our friends and family with 40 of them staying at the hotel either for two nights or just the function night. we all had a fantastic time and would like to give a shout out to some of the people who helped make it special. the events team, Firstly Elaine and latterly Samantha for helping to organise the event, we need to mention Zac who helped our daughter Heather finalise our plans the night before and for setting up Morton House Ballroom and his team for looking after us throughout the night. Marion's social media has gone off the scale with guests contacting to say its one of if not the best function they had been to. We need also to pass our thanks to the Chef and his team, we had a set 3 course meal which had great reviews from everyone, which was also enhanced by the the serving staff who looked after the drinks reception as well as the meal service, we cant remember all the names but they know who they are. The weather over the weekend could not have been better showing off the grounds of the hotel best, the newly refurbished pool and Spa was opened just in time for our event and was enjoyed by a number of the family.

“Afternoon Tea”

Afternoon tea was delicious, service was very good ,only criticism, would have preferred a table and comfortable chairs rather than a low table with squishy sofas to sit on. The sandwiches and cakes however were excellent , especially the scones , served with delicious cream and choice of jams. ... more

Afternoon tea was delicious, service was very good ,only criticism, would have preferred a table and comfortable chairs rather than a low table with squishy sofas to sit on. The sandwiches and cakes however were excellent , especially the scones , served with delicious cream and choice of jams. Very scenic venue and on a good day some lovely grounds to wander through.

Recently had an overnight visit with my wife for her birthday and thoroughly enjoyed both the stay and the food , having also booked dinner and breakfast ! I have seen some comments from a couple of people about the place showing signs of wear and tear , but even as it currently stands it is still a great place to stay and it is apparently due for a multi million pound upgrade by the new owners , which if the standard of the new chef they apparently took on is anything to go by , should be really something to look forward to and certainly something we shall be returning to see , if not before again ! As it is it is located next to the Erskine Hospital for disabled veterans in a lovely scenic area nearby the Erskine road bridge , in fact if you are getting there by car your GPS may take you to a closed gate leading into the hotel and golf course from the Erskine Hospital , a problem I apparently shared with others according to staff at the hotel , but not to worry there is another signposted way there , I just happened to miss it relying on the GPS too much at the last roundabout , lol . A possible solution to this problem might be the installation of an electronic operated automated gate which recognises vehicle registrations to allow access for visitors to the hotel who have given their vehicle details . But to the hotel itself , it is a property built around 1824 in need of the promised promised upgrades but still offering nice rooms and excellent food which we sampled at both 3 course dinner and Breakfast next morning before we left . My wife played the onsite golf course some years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it . The hotel has lovely ornate ceilings and paneling and is set alongside a picturesque section of the river Clyde where you can see passing boats (we saw a couple of lovely tugs ) and wildlife . All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with the great staff there and left completely refreshed by the visit .

Having stayed at the Mar Hall previously we recommended this hotel to our friends for a 4 Night break to meet up equidistant from home and we were not disappointed. From first impressions driving into the private grounds overlooking the River Clyde to being welcomed by Allan the Concierge and the Reception Team who checked us in quickly and made us feel at home to dining in the beautiful main dining room everything felt clean, comfortable and cared for. Large well appointed comfortable rooms (we had a deluxe double and our friends were upgraded to a Junior Suite with amazing views over the golf course to the River Clyde and the Hills beyond). We loved every minute of our our stay and our friends were "wowed" by the hotel, and its setting as well as the food and friendly staff. Being so close to Glasgow, the Clyde Valley as well as Loch Lomond and the Trossachs it was a fantastic base to explore the area knowing we would return for an enjoyable evening catching up over a lovely dinner and after dinner drinks served either in the bar or the great hall. Allan the Concierge, was exceptional, going above and beyond to help when I had a flat tyre and he ensured we were quickly back on the road again. We highly recommend the Mar Hall, its a wee hidden Gem with welcoming, friendly staff, offering a true scottish welcome. We will definitely be going back, and you cant get a better recommendation than that!!!
