Relax and play golf

The lodge is set in a very scenic setting next to Lock Aboyne and woodlands which you can walk around. The property itself owned and run by a lovely couple who pretty much seem to do everything themselves. The decor is dated and old fashioned but if you like golf this is a great option as the course setting is fabulous …it’s a 9 hole set over a huge expanse with inclines and some difficult hazards. We ate at the lodge one night and boat inn restaurant the next which is a 10 min drive down the road …breakfast was simple but freshly made …

Beautifully Located Lodge/Hotel

One of the nicest hotels I've stayed in for a long time! Located by Loch Aboyne my room overlooked the loch on a beautiful sunny evening. There was an air of calm about the place not found at most "normal" hotels, probably due to there only being 14 rooms and there being no noisy traffic or passers-by to contend with. The room was modern, very clean with a very comfy bed. The flat screen tv was handy for watching the World Cup games too! My patio doors opened to let in the sights and sounds of the loch (although I did have to contend with a few midges as expected due to the waterfront location). The evening meal in the restaurant was nicely presented although a larger portion would have been welcome (not really a complaint as the quality was very good). Morning breakfast was as you would expect with a choice of continental or freshly fried fayre. All-in-all a very pleasant stay at a reasonable price for the area and I would definitely consider staying there again.

Good in some ways

Room was good along with breakfast. Found it hard to relax due to the military style timed schedule we were forced into for Spa package. We were put off using the massage chairs and bed because a member of staff was found to be patronising and unpleasant to deal with. We were expected to go to the bar in our dressing gowns wet to find her so she could explain the function of the beds. Would have been better to be shown how to use all facilities at the beginning of session and just being left to it. I expected this type of relaxation given the money we paid.

We felt the room being and ex spa treatment room wasn’t fair for the price as it’s not bedroom standard we banged our heads several times off the slanted ceiling. When asked to use the facilities it was always a no and could not have a coffee at anytime of the day. Staff lovely. When booking we were under the impression as it states spa retreat and looks this way from the website too. We were booking to gain a little break so it looked as if we could have treatments. When booking as said over all disappointing as this is the reason we booked here. Also felt £25 to use the hot tub and sauna was very expensive.

Overnight stay

Plus point Amazing Loch views from hotel room. What a find.. Less positive note is the food was very very very basic . The food was quite pricey but would have been worth it if it was off quality. Shame. Would not say 4 star either but worth a stay just for the hotel roomview.

We spent our summer holiday here this year. It was excellent, Derek and Jean are fantastic hosts, the lodge is beautifully located on the Loch with their own golf course (you can rent equipment here). There are many walks you can do in the area , bikes can be rented in Ballater. We had the family suite (two rooms interconnected by the bathroom), with fantastic breakfast included. Had our evening meals at the property too, everything was great and the wine list very well chosen.
