Welcome

The Dutch Mill is a family-run hotel in a handsome granite house on Queen's Road, in the west end of Aberdeen, and for many people nearby it is simply the local.

Its fame rests on its bar lunches and suppers, served in the bar and in a long conservatory restaurant under a glass roof, with wooden tables and tartan chairs.

The menu is broad, with plenty of choice and good value. The bar has a wide choice of drinks, and big screens come down for the sport, so it can be lively on a match day.

The hotel has been smartly refurbished and has nine bedrooms upstairs, and there is parking at the back. Tables can be booked online or by phone, and it is wise to book for supper.
