Banff Springs Hotel enjoys an elavated position with views outward to the sea.A warm and enthusiastic welcome by Maxine(deputy manager) got my one night stay off to a great start-the room was very comfortable.Its worth having a meal in the dining room rather than the bar as it has large windows which allow the room to be flooded with natural...

Having just spent two nights at The Banff Springs Hotel we wanted to congratulate the hotel staff and chef for making this a stay to remember. Janice, the receptionist was very welcoming and efficient.We upgraded to the very quirky newly refurbished Gilmore Suite which was worth the extra £20 a night for the stunning views of the coastline. We ate... More

Just back from a lovely meal at the Banff Springs. We booked in advance and was immediately shown to our table in the bar and drinks order taken. Menu has a great selection, the only problem I had was choosing as everything sounded so good. we did not have to wait any time at all for our food, which was... More

Dropped in here for lunch for the first time - won't be rushing back. Ordered venison medaillons with haggis, husband ordered fish. Waited for ages (people arriving after us were served first). When food arrived, had to ask for a steak knife for the venison, as ordinary one wouldn't cut it. Just managed with the steak knife, so back my... More

If you excuse the dated architectural style (fairly prevalent in Banff) you will find a clean, recently refurbished and friendly hotel in an excellent sea facing location. Reception and all staff are welcoming, friendly and efficient and nothing is too much trouble. Our room was superb, part of the recent refurbishment. Excellent restaurant serving fresh organic products. Highly recommended! More

Stay resonably local to hotel so decided to go for family lunch. I ordered Chicken fillets and husband ordered Beef Burger, asking for cheese on top. Meals came, mine with 4 chicken fillets and small pile of chips, husbands with plain burger (resembeled something from McDonalds) no cheese, and handfull of chips. Not even a drop of salad on plate.... More

We stayed in The Gilmore Suite this time last year after our wonderful wedding and it was just brilliant. This year, for our anniversary, we stayed in The Banffshire Suite and we were not disappointed. These suites have been beautifully refurbished with a quirky glam style not out of place in a trendy city hotel. The difference is these rooms... More
