Then we want to work with you
Thainstone House has a rich history, dating back to the 18th century. Once a grand private home, it's now an elegant Aberdeenshire hotel where guests are welcomed with warmth and traditional Scottish hospitality.
Because the team at Thainstone House are on a mission: to create memories that last a lifetime. We're highly motivated, driven to succeed and focussed on making our guests' journey the best it can be. Of course, we also like to have a good time along the way.
Standing proudly in acres of its own woodland, Thainstone House is less than 10 minutes' drive from the small town of Inverurie. The locals are polite, humble people - the kind who appreciate the Scottish produce available in their independent shops, lovely restaurants and great bars.
Inverurie offers all the amenities of modern life, too. It's well connected, with direct trains running regularly to Aberdeen, taking just 25 minutes, as well as to Inverness. Aberdeen airport is only 20 minutes' drive away, with flights across the UK and to a handful of European destinations.
As a beautiful mansion house in such an ideal location, Thainstone House is a popular choice for weddings, as well as spa and leisure guests and business travellers. Working here is an opportunity to further your career as part of a successful, award-winning team.

Three reasons to choose a career with Crerar Hotels
* Destination locations
Scotland provides a sought-after quality of life, ideal for outdoorsy types. Urbanites may find there are limitations, with reduced public transport, small local shops and occasionally - the ultimate modern hardship - patchy phone signal. But those who take that in their stride find that they discover true peace and quiet, wake up to incredible scenery and have Scotland's natural larder to feast on daily.
* Talent development
We always aim to progress staff internally where possible, which means a number of our team have been with us long-term. They've chosen to make a life in one (or more) of our locations, building themselves a varied career in the Scottish hospitality industry.
* Shaped by our values
We share the spirit of Scotland through our values. We take pride in providing a truly authentic experience; we're warm in personality, curious to get to know our guests and confident in sharing our knowledge. We take what we do seriously, but our humour means we also see the lighter side. Above all, we're comfortable saying, "we are who we are"
