Bienvenue
and Welcome
Whatever
the season the County Hotel is here to welcome you, an elegant
Grade B Georgian House offering fine views over the historical
Royal Burgh of Banff, the Bay and the surrounding countryside
of the River Deveron estuary. Designed by George Robertson about
1778 for the Garden-Robinson family (noted merchants and long-standing
Provosts of the Burgh) the building contains many features copied
from nearby Duff House, William Adam's baroque masterpiece and
stately home of the Earls and Dukes of Fife. A Grecian styled
porch way with splendid segmented fanlight was added about 1830.
To
the front of the house is a small garden with a pair of unusual
weeping ash trees, whilst in the rear garden you may relax on
secluded lawn and patios surrounded by flower-beds.
The
hotel car park adjoins the grounds.
The County Hotel retains very much the country-house
ambiance of former days and as resident proprietors we place
particular emphasis on creating a relaxing atmosphere in our
home.
Our
Rooms
Since
conversion to a small prestigious hotel in 1977, the bedrooms
have been individually furnished and decorated with all modern-day
comforts for the discerning guest. Each room has its own bathroom,
colour television, radio, direct dial telephone, writing facilities,
electric blankets and central heating.
