10.0“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 an
−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!

10.0+Beautiful, comfortable lodge. Plenty of space, lovely decor. Great kitchen and 2 bathrooms was a bonus. They even left a little welcome basket with some local produce 👍Everything you could possibly need. Ursula came to visit when we arrived and she was so nice.
−Was a little out the way but very quiet. Would be great to have a hot tub as they have a lovely balcony.

9.0“Enjoyable stay in a quiet, secluded yet easily accessible location”
+Secluded quiet location yet fairly quick and easy access to the major trunk road. Children were able to play in safety in grassy area away from the road.
−Parking just OK for three cars, but with two lodges would have been difficult with two cars per lodge. When cooking for six, and extra medium saucepan and a measuring jug would have been useful
