Carmelite House Hotel Banff

We would like to welcome you to Banff and in particular to Carmelite House Hotel. Our names are Fiona and John Calder and we hope that your stay with us will be comfortable and enjoyable.

Its past

Now modernised as a comfortable small hotel, it is managed by the owners in traditional style.		Close by the mouth of the river Deveron, Carmelite House takes its name from the former monastery which once stood nearby. Built in 1753 for Admiral William Gordon, the house is a fine example of its period.

Facilities

The hotel has 9 bedrooms - a mixture of single, twin, double and family rooms. All rooms are equipped with wash -hand basins, tea and coffee making facilities, colour T.V., electric heaters and shaver points. 5 rooms have ensuite facilities.

We have a spacious and comfortable Residents' Lounge with colour television. The basement houses our cosy Residents Bar. On cooler days an open fire burns in the ancient hearth. Dinner is served every evening in the Dining Room or in the Bar if preferred. We have a carefully selected wine list to complement your meal.
