Waverley Hotel food hygiene rating
Hotel/bed & breakfast/guest house · Aberdeenshire
Waverley Hotel was told improvement was required at its most recent inspection. Under Scotland's scheme that means the inspector found the hotel fell short of the legal standard and expects it to put things right.
The rating: Improvement required
The rating dates from 16 January 2026, 5 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.
