Room was very warm even with windows open and unfortunately I didn’t sleep well because of this. We were really disappointed that the TV in our room wasn’t working - spoke to a staff member who said they would come and have a look but they didn’t show up. Called reception at least 4 times but no answer. The TV wouldn’t turn back off either so was left with the light of that through the night. Dinner was delicious although starters and deserts slightly pricey, nice cocktails and breakfast was very tasty too, plenty of options. Service was great in the restaurants, plenty of staff and very attentive. ##### Naomi Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel Jun 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We absolutely loved Banchory Lodge! It’s common for a hotel I book to be less than I’d hoped for, but Banchory truly delivered! The location is stunning and we loved all the attention to detail that was put in—the decorations and artistic details really made it such a lovely stay. So many hotels in Scotland seem to go with the traditional tartan theme, which is nice but…overplayed. We really felt the love and attention put into the Lodge. The staff was very warm and welcoming as well. I’d love to return and stay several nights! ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### William Nov 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant revisit 25 years on We were history repeating - staying at Banchory Lodge to visit our daughter in Aberdeen as my parents often did 3 decades ago to me! We hadn’t been there since we left the area nearly 25 years ago and it was nice to find the place feeling familiar. It has changed and developed since then, but still had a homely feel and we had excellent food and a very nice room with a comfortable bed - a bid deal for us these days! We missed the lovely lounge - now a dining room, and the old panelled dining room which is now a function suite. I’d have liked somewhere comfortable to sit for coffee after dinner - or, if staying longer, to sit and read etc. But I guess it’s serving meals that pays the bills now. The location is as lovely as ever and we enjoyed our stay very much. ##### William Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Miss Feb 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Disappointed- lovely hotel, food dreadful Hotel lovely, staff seem demotivated and unhappy (in fact they looked terrified most of the time). Unfortunately the food we had was poor. We had duck on the first night which looked like it had been cooked earlier in the day then cooked again, it was dry, overcooked, and truly inedible. The red wine 'jus' was just packet gravy which hadn't actually been cooked out and was lumpy (disgusting) - there had been no red wine anywhere near it!!. We didn't say anything as the restaurant was busy, but it wasn't great, and we put it down to an off night. However, Breakfast was a poor effort and my waffles were undercooked/doughy. We feared for our dinner the following evening, and after a long hike ordered 'artisan bread' which were actually packet 'bake in the oven' rolls and burgers. The burger was okay, but the artisan bread wasn't actually cooked, it was still raw!! Truly strange. An enforced 10% service charge which is intended for you to ask for it to be removed, which just causes everyone to be uncomfortable, so you leave it. The hotel team we met were friendly enough, but the young waitress seemed genuinely terrified when we sent the bread back. Whilst the restaurant manager offered us a complimentary drink, we were just fed up and disappointed that every meal was not of the standard we hoped/expected. So much so that we went to a local cafe for breakfast this morning rather than have another disappointing meal. Also too many dog's barking/sat at dinner tables for us ##### Miss Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### alejandra Sep 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Habitaciones muy limpias.

The staff are very friendly and thoughtful. The suite I was in was beautiful, but there was no mini fridge available for medication, and non available. An excellent venue for an escape and for a wedding. ##### Rona Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elaine Aug 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly helpful staff and loved the location .
