From the administrators' statement
The Udny Arms Hotel and Restaurant opened to the public in 2023 after substantial refurbishments to the historic building in which the business is situated. Becoming a much-loved part of the local community and surrounding areas, the restaurant quickly became the leading example for fine dining in Aberdeenshire. Rebuilt from the ground up, the company and its directors handcrafted a team of highly esteemed staff capable of producing the quality in food and customer service envisioned at the company’s inception.
Accompanying the Hotel and Restaurant is a self-contained coffee shop, Trellis which has been in operation since 2021, and two gift shop pods, which each brings a unique atmosphere and experience to the business as a whole, and offers customers an alternative to the classic fine dining experience. Trellis is renowned in the Aberdeen and Shire areas for its high-quality food, coffee, and of course customer service.
The company’s owners have devoted considerable time, capital and effort into turning a previously dilapidated building and empty lot into a fully refurbished main building and outbuildings. The owners looked to keep some of the original charm and styles previously seen to provide a unique blend of traditional and modern interior decoration.
