Accomodation


Obviously the following lists aren’t comprehensive, though I’ve tried to include as much variety as I could – there’s a couple of hotels, some self catering cottages, B&B’s and even a campsite, just in case! All are within reasonable driving distance of the wedding venue and reception. I suggest, however, that if you don’t intend to drive/rent a car then you should probably stay in Aberdeen or Inverurie as the surrounding area is very rural! For those of you coming in larger groups who want to book a cottage to share then it might be an idea to book as soon as possible – I’ve had a quick look at availability and a lot of places are booked out for the weeks around the 16th August. The only other advice I can give is to check the prices at the places you’d like to stay – the 4 star Thainstone House Hotel is cheaper than the Travel Lodge in Aberdeen on certain days so it pays to have a good look through.
