Good, but there are a few things which let it down
Wonderful friendly hosts, very comfortable beds and nice location. Nice shower. Ample parking
Sliding door to the decking doesn't work which was a big shame. WiFi was terrible and unusable (0.03mbps!) which was unfortunate as I needed to do some work while I was there. There also seems to be an issue with biting stable flies coming in to the cabin, even with all windows and doors shut - we all left with lots of itchy spots and bites

It was just perfect, the location and the lodge.
It was a perfect setting for a lovely family weekend and a wedding in the mix 🙏

Ideal, peaceful and great for larger families! We will be back for sure!
This property was fantastic! There was 2 adults and 4 children (13,8,7,2) and the size of the property was perfect. There is an en suite to the master bedroom which was ideal so I didn’t wake anyone up (I’m an early riser)! There was 2 outdoor tables on the large patio, perfect for our bbq and morning coffees. The main bathroom was also roomy. This lodge had everything I needed…and more! Very well equipped, there was even a small welcome basket with some biscuits. We also used the bbq which coal/firelighters etc were provided. We cooked breakfast/lunch and dinners at the lodge and the dishwasher was super handy! There were plenty of plates/cups/glasses etc. The fire burning stove indoors was such a lovely addition and we were also able to chop up our own firewood if we needed more. It was a super comfortable stay and I wish I had booked it longer than 3 nights! The Alexa was an added bonus that I didn’t even think about but I used it all day! The location was ideal, 10 minute drive into Banchory. Hosts were fab and dropped off a travel cot for the little one at short notice! The outdoor space was good, there was football goals, small seesaw and balls. I took tennis, table tennis and some outdoor activities but to be honest the boys spent their days making their own fun, building dens and wondering the lodge area. There are only two lodges which means the location has a very private feel, I can’t wait to come back for summer for longer, take friends and book both lodges!
I have nothing negative to say about this property! A little park/outdoor play area would have been an extra special addition if I had to say something!

Quiet, comfortable and cosy lodge in a great location for accessing lots of different activities
Nice quiet location on edge of Banchory, loved the wood burner, comfy beds and the welcome basket was a lovely touch.

lovely property, location is fab
some attention needed. bunk bed headboard was broken so my daughter couldn’t sleep in there (plus there was a lot of dust/dirt & some rubbish in that room); emailed the owner and highlighted in person also. appliances need a little care too, fridge and oven mainly. log burner hadn’t been cleared of ash by previous guests, so had some work to do to get that in order. everything was in working order though.
