Impressive selection of ales in the pub.

Electric showers were not effective, making it difficult to enjoy a proper shower.

Request the unique dog menu for a delightful experience with your pet during breakfast. It's a great way to engage with staff and local culture.

a cozy retreat with friendly staff and dog-friendly touches, truly a gem for any couple escaping for a getaway

Wonderful ambiance, delicious food.

close to balmedie beach and beautiful parks

I stayed for one night in the Executive King Room and found it wonderfully designed with a lovely front garden. It’s only a short walk to Balmedie Beach and the stunning Balmedie Country Park.

Spacious rooms with unique layouts, but the room smelled like mould.

the cock is a great value pub with rooms, ideally located near the coast. the luxury king room was spacious and comfortable. the food in the pub was excellent, particularly the daily specials. breakfast was superb, with plenty of choices, making it a lovely start to the day. dog friendly too!

Do recommend for a short weekend trip

Charming apartment, convenient facilities, with a great location near the sea and an easy drive to Slains Castle and Newburgh Seal Beach, complemented by excellent breakfast options served early at the bar and restaurant.

Couldn't find any faults at all.

I had a pleasant stay at The Cock, enjoying spacious accommodations in the Luxury King Room. The food, especially the dinner, impressed me with its quality. A minor drawback was the uncomfortable mattress, but the experience overall felt worthwhile.

Couples seeking a cozy dinner experience

We stopped for dinner and the atmosphere was something else. The food presentation was top-notch, they even had a dog menu which my partner absolutely loved!

It wasn’t exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for, I guess.

A tasty dog-friendly stay!

We had an awesome time here! The food was delish, especially the C & B Chicken Burger. Plus, my dog got a meal, which is always a bonus! The vibe was cosy, and staff were super friendly. Only wish the starter options were a bit more varied, but everything else was spot on.

Charming stay with great atmosphere

We enjoyed a lovely one-night stay in a spacious Luxury King Room, where the cozy ambiance and friendly staff made us feel right at home. The breakfast was particularly delightful, featuring freshly cooked local produce that set us up for the day. It was a relaxed environment, perfect for enjoying our time together, though a bit more attention to noise levels from nearby areas would be appreciated.

Had a lovely stay with a hearty Wee Breakfast that filled me up and the peaceful garden was perfect for unwinding with a book. There were some nice spots to relax outside, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Just a small hiccup with the wait time for service, but overall, I really liked it here! 😊

It was just an appropriate option for taking strolls in Balmedie with good value considering price it charged. The room was clean and comfortable. Try to request a room away from the street to avoid early morning noise.

The atmosphere was cozy, with friendly staff and a delightful menu, especially the seafood options. Though the pork escalopes didn't meet expectations and service lagged towards dessert, overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I’d definitely consider returning for another visit.
