더 로지 온 더 로크(The Lodge on the Loch)

Home from the best weekend spent at the lodge on the loch. What an amazing location it was beautiful. Stunning views from the hot tub in the morning. The facilities in the room were fantastic, our room had a treadmill, jacuzzi bath and it’s own sauna and cold plunge pool. The room was really clean, comfy bed, the food was lovely and the hosts were so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend, we’re already looking to book a stay here again very soon. Loved every minute, didn’t want to come home.

My wife and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this lodge. The view from our room was spectacular and it was spotless. The proprietors were very friendly and accommodating. The food tasted wonderful and the portions were more than enough. The grounds are beautiful to walk on and the pheasants don’t seem to mind you joining them. When we come back to Scotland we will definitely be staying here again.

The property is beautifully situated on a golf course fronting on a loch, just off the main road between Aberdeen and Braemar. It's peaceful and quiet. The property itself is very clean and well cared-for, and hosts Jeanne and Derek are welcoming and gracious. The food is delicious and service is quick in their restaurant which overlooks the loch. I've stayed here three years in a row and it feels like coming home.

Amazing place, friendly owners. Magnificent views. Great breakfast. Will definitely go back

Unfortunately not very happy. Was sold on the website which promised great views from most rooms but unfortunately our view was awful. We were stuck out at the side and looked onto a caravan and scrap metal and a whirly. Very disappointed. Also we were clearly not wanted. Owners tried their best to sell the nearest restaurants in Aboyne. They couldn’t be bothered opening the restaurant because hotel was quiet.

Wonderful setting. Amazing views Very comfortable room. Excellent shower Good food for both dinner and breakfast The steak pie was really tasty as was the Chocolate Brownie I could have stayed here looking at the views. Friendly hosts. Would definitely come back if I was in the area

Comfortable hotel with its own golf course. Operated by a couple who are hands-on with everything. Rooms are ok, but the one ventilation is to open the window. Very scenic location. Internet is spotty. No charger ports. Bathrooms are small, but good laydown space. Don't order the fish and chips, but otherwise the food is ok.

The lodge is in an absolutely stunning location and the room was very nice with an amazing view. Very close to Aboyne itself in the car. My friend and I booked the spa: hot tub/relaxation room which was a 1.5 hour experience. We ate in the restaurant and the meal was good, however, a little bit of background music would have been nice especially as we were the only ones there. I think if you are clear going to this place that it's essentially an amazing B&B with a hot tub and sauna if you choose to book and pay for this facility then you will not be disappointed. The bar facilities are limited and closed around 8.30pm despite it being the weekend but there was a big fridge in the room so luckily we were prepared and had bought some wine and snacks during the day. It was a truly relaxing couple of days and I would definitely go back to have the peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings. If you want a full hotel experience i.e hustle and bustle and a bar which is open until midnight this is not the place to go.

Had a fantastic night at Lodge on the Loch with friends. We were well looked after, the facilities were great- especially the hot tub and the location was so peaceful. Will definitely return. Thank you!
