I stayed at this hotel for two nights on a coach tour. My room was spotless, the staff were very helpful and yes it was a little bit tired looking but not too bad. The food was okay apart from the first night the fish was terrible but their cottage pie on the saturday was brilliant. The breakfasts were brilliant lots of choice and was replaced at once when items ran low. I would stay here again. richard liptrott, General Manager at Waterside Hotel, responded to this review HiMany thanks for your review from your recent stay with us, always good to hear that the staff are as excellent as ever. I am sorry about the fish as here in Peterhead its something we should get right.We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.Kind regards

Extremely Bad service
11 Sept 2026
Went last week on a Caledonian tour shambles no facilities for disabled people .Meals practically inedible no organised service over cooked rubbish food running shot at practically every meal felt like second class citizens.Normally we love Caledonian tours but this should be seriously removed from the brochure.The first time in my life that we have been offered lollipops for our deserts.Seriously need to get there act together.Gorden Ramsey would have a field day.We look forward to our holidays mainly not to have to cook our meals.?? richard liptrott, General Manager at Waterside Hotel, responded to this review Dear GuestThank you for your feedback from your recent visit with us and i whole heartedly apologise that your week didnt go as planned as you would have hoped. I would be interested to know what kind of facilities you would like from an accessibility point of view as all facilities are on the ground floor with the exception of the leisure area.I have discussions with the team regarding the food that the group was offered and the poor choices you were given will be a thing of the past.Once again im sorry your stay wasnt all you had hoped.Kind regards

We sta yes for four nights ,the whole of the hotel was so cold that I came home with cold .The bedroom was light and bright over looked the car park .Bathroom was excellent only problem that having a slight disability I find over the bath showers difficult but this was easier than most .Steps up to reception and carrying a suitcase was difficult especially as the step is narrow ,I found that as I need to hold onto a stairwell the one here was hard to hold onto perhaps it should be replaced with a proper rail for safety .Dining room set out like school dinners for coach tours ,food was standard Brittania ,two evenings the same mix veg and French fried chips so nothing that I could eat.The hotel is in a good position for anyone touring the region so why no leaflets of places to visit .I recommend that you put that right asI think that is needed to encourage visitors.The staff in the dining room are always on the go and listen to anything you have to say.It was a long journey both ways one that I doubt we will make again . richard liptrott, General Manager at Waterside Hotel, responded to this review Dear GuestMany thanks for taking the time to review your recent stay with us and thank you for your suggestions, of which i will take a look to see what we can do to improve our guest offerings, We are in the process of looking at the food that we give to all coaches here in the hotel and i hope that when you return you will notice a difference.Kind regardsRichard

Lovely hotel...friendly and helpful staff. Food was very good ..great choice at breakfast. Room was immaculate. Good size, comfortable beds with good quality towels and bedding.Had a fridge in our room, also iron and ironing board. Only cost £5 if you wanted to use the pool or fitness suite for our stay. Highly recommend. richard liptrott, General Manager at Waterside Hotel, responded to this review Dear GuestMany thanks for your kind feedback from your recent stay with us, all your comments will be fed back to the staff.

Total dump, disgusting and mouldy! AVOID!
28 Jul 2026
The worst hotel I have ever stepped foot in and I’ve been in a couple of bad ones over my years of working away from home. Felt like a prison cell, concrete walls, no ventilation, damp smell, mouldy bathroom, sockets all unsafe and no sockets beside the bed (due to the concrete internal walls). The food, wow. Served frozen fish and chips that was deep fried and took about 10 mins to remotely cool down so I could try it. Aye not even half and walked away. Actually vile, no wonder it’s non refundable from moment you pay. Decor is from the 60s and reminds me of the film ‘The Shining’.Handed my room key which had a tag that was so sharp you could seriously injure someone with it!Opened my window to let the damp room breathe and all you smell is weed from the civils workers staying there who are all out in their vans in numbers until after midnight. Absolute dump!
