The Ban Car Hotel is such a brilliant spot for a wedding! It’s got that warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes everyone feel right at home, and the staff are just incredible—so organised, friendly, and always going the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly.Tina especially always ensures to check in with myself to make sure the whole day runs smoothly. A fab venue with the loveliest team, and always a pleasure to shoot here!

The only thing tastier than the food was Faith our server The toast as part of an evening meal was quite eccentric, but given the Craic we had with the staff it made absolute sense

Great hotel, nice food, hotel all modern and clean. Lots of parking space. Most powerful shower I have ever used. Great location midway between Peterhead and Fraserburgh, in the midst of golden corn fields. We will be back.
