Fordoun Hotel and Spa

Dear Fordoun, My wife & I are lost for words, the venue, facilities, accommodation, food and all staff contributing to the exceptional service were out of this world! Dani & I found this venue by accident one day when we drove past this stunning looking driveway, little did we know this would be the start leading up to our dream wedding, indeed this lived beyond our expectations for our dream wedding! We can't wait to come back for anniversaries and one day bring our children to show them where it all began. I would love to thank the entire Fordoun team, including the gardeners, staff, waiter's, barmen, chefs, room cleaners, management, receptionists and a very special thank you to our superb wedding coordinator, Lungi! From setting up to packing up, Lungi was a life saver, you say things once and you know it'll be done. Our wedding weekend couldn't have felt easier knowing Lungi was in control of it all. Well done Fordoun Hotel & Spa, you have outdone yourselves! Kind regards Mr & Mrs Sutherland

What a beautiful farm which is meticulously kept. It definitely has Scottish charm. Will recommend it to some friends immediately. A delightful Chinese family. Jules was so warm and welcoming. Thank you. The best aspect is the drive in through an Avenue of pin oaks!!!

We do really enjoy our stays/stopovers at Fordoun. Classy place, rooms are very comfortable, food is delicious, service is warm and friendly and we enjoy having a massage. The one night stay was too short. Our only concern is that the prices will move up to where it might become unaffordable for us.

My partner and I were fortunate enough to experince a magnificent stay at Fordoun over the past weekend. Driving into the estate is breathtaking, the eastern is beautifully kept, rolling green hills, the dam, massive trees and immaculate gardens. We were met with immediate service at the reception, I think we were welcomed by at least 10 staff members, all with the biggest smiles and happiest attitudes. We were taken to our room which we instantly felt comfortable in, the bathroom had a huge bath, marble surfaces, fluffy robes, delish coffee, the biggest and comfiest bed. We were pretty tired from traveling, the setting was intimate and beautifully put together. The view from our room looked over the rolling grass fields where the cows peacefully roam around. The room felt extra cozy as the midlands mist came in, we were warm and so welcome. Our culinary experience at Fordoun was outstanding to say the least. Focus is on locally sorced ingredients, served abundantly with the perfect balance of fine dining creativity. The bistro has an incredible wine list, beautiful fire places decorated in fine art pieces. Our waitrons were incredibly knowledgeable of the food and wine offerings, we needed for nothing. The highlight of our stay has to be the Fordoun Spa. Wow! Conveniently located and few meters away from the rooms. We felt like we had been transported to another little world, everything we experienced was preloaded with luxury. The therapists are intuitive as to what your body is needing, the massages were heavenly, the team so knowledgeable on the products the Spa uses. The Elliot Ndlovu products are made in-house, adding to the country, luxury, cultural experince. We arrived feeling pretty overwhelmed with life, we left feeling totally relaxed, so well fed and treated like absolute royalty. I would highly recommend that everyone experiences this at least once in their lives! Thank you team Fordoun, we cannot wait to return!

This place exudes an energy that brings you to the present. The people, the setting, the food - you feel apart of the place in every visit.

Booked a facial at Fordoun Spa. I was really dissapointed in the spa as the ladies locker room was untidy, small and needs an upgrade. The lockers weren’t prepared on arrival. The facial wasn’t relaxing at all as the therapist was noisy, felt disinterested, especially during the head message. Would I book a treatment there again? No, I won’t as there are other spa’s in the vicinity that provide a much better experience.
