The Marcliffe Hotel & Spa, Aberdeen

A relaxed and elegant retreat in the heart of Scotlands castle and whisky country, The Marcliffe Hotel and Spa nestles in eight acres of landscaped, wooded gardens on the outskirts of Aberdeen. In the evening, dine on the freshest Grampian produce, including game and Aberdeen Angusbeef, followed by a wee dram in the Drawing Room, selected from a choice of 100 malt whiskies.
