Banchory Lodge

It might just be us, but there’s something about the beginning of spring that makes us want to head down to the nearest river, toss a coin in it and make a wish.

By why stop at just that? Why not take your other half along with you and linger at the river for a night or more on, say, a mini break at a gorgeous waterside boutique hotel?

You can do exactly this with today’s Big Deal for a one or two night stay at the award-winning Banchory Lodge.

Charming Boutique retreat

Banchory Lodge sits right on the doorstep of the River Dee. It is one part boutique hotel, one part village-style retreat and one part country hideaway.

Set in twelve acres of grounds, there is plenty to do in the surrounding areas. Think of it as your back-to-nature bolt-hole with a little touch of added luxury.

The restaurant at Banchory Lodge was voted third most stunning dining view in the UK and no wonder, as it overlooks the sparkling River Dee and the countryside beyond.

Flexible getaway

Today’s Big Deal for a Banchory Lodge getaway is available seven days until the end of April, perfect for a spring getaway.

You will be staying in a Comfy Luxe room, which will have plenty of space to kick back and relax in. All have comfy beds and crisp linen for a good night’s sleep. Other facilities include an en-suite bathroom; hospitality tray with tea, coffee, Deeside Scottish mineral water and Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer; television, phone and free WiFi.

Option three is for a two night stay, with a £15 dinner allowance each on the first night.

Note, there is £20 per room supplement for Saturday stays.

Dazzling Deeside

As mentioned, there are plenty of activities to enjoy in the local area, including riverside strolls, shooting, fishing, golfing or simply relaxing.

Also, Drum Castle Garden & Escape is a short car journey away if you fancy soaking up a bit of local history.

Happy guests

Banchory Lodge has impressed guests so much that it has earned itself a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence. Here is one review:

‘Beautiful setting, beautiful food – wonderful Scottish hospitality at its finest. Such a beautiful building, next door to the River Dee which is famous for its salmon fishing. Visiting here with family for a get together, was a natural choice as we knew the experience would be wonderful which indeed it was again. I have to note that we have visited again and again over the years – from weddings, Hogmanay, intimate meals through to just a drink at the bar and it’s always been wonderful. The food is perfect – a well thought out menu with many options to suit all tastes and palates. Great service and decor is beautiful. I can’t say anymore other than if you choose to visit, you won’t be disappointed.’
