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.

Can we tempt you to join us? **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"
