The Lodge On The Loch

Looking for Aboyne Golf course, we turned up at the Lodge on the loch golf centre.....not very welcoming at all , manager was quite rude and off hand....wont be back

Both the dinners and breakfasts were of good quality ingredients, well cooked and presented. Special mention of the steak pie -fairly large and very tasty. All food had to ordered either the night before or for dinner in the morning

Beautiful location, nice meal, totally spoilt by the attitude of the lady I presume to be the owner. In the course of a very brief conversation in which we were simply asking for directions to the ladies’ washroom, she treated me in a most condescending...manner, addressing me as if I were a naughty schoolgirl. I can fully understand why a considerable number of earlier reviews refer to the rudeness of the owners. Neither I nor my friends will be back again.

My daughter and I were looking for a base to visit Deeside and this hotel and spa retreat fitted the bill beautifully.The bedrooms were very comfortable and the views of the Aboyne Loch were stunning.We had dinner on the first night and the food and...wine were of good quality and reasonably priced.The owners were very friendly and helpfull as they knew the area very well and recommended eating places and also where to visit.My daughter made use of the leisure facilities and had a massage.Nothing was too much for the owners in terms of help and advice and we stayed for an extra night.Breakfast was superb.

there was a single shower cabin without light, between three of us, so we had to wait for each other to shower, old towels in dusty tubs. we then became a deck with a 4 seater whirlpool on it and. a wood sauna hut shown. this was the sum of the “Spa facilities”. two of the nozzles in the whirlpool did not work. the view from the room where the lunch was served was breathtaking, but the room resembled a community center with all the equipment of the local clubs that were stacked for the storage! the two curly light lunch was basic soup and salad and tee or coffee. the afternoon sessions of guided meditation and the sound bath were like something from a funny sketch - with the teacher in the g...

we were there for two nights and were blessed with the weather. the location is amazing and beautiful. Even if they were fully booked, we hardly saw other guests and enjoyed us at the private hole they own. we need to agree to all... previous reviews when it comes to the service. in the morning we realized that the shower was broken. when I told the owner, the shower was offered to me by the reception in the communal dressing room/WC. it was not acceptable when we paid for a room that was advertised with a spa shower. I was usually a little excited, as there was no excuse or a offer to compensate. the breakfast was included with our deal and we had dinner there at the first night. at the arr...

We unfortunately had to cancel our reservation that was made via booking.com two days before our arrival. We were traveling around the West Coast of Scotland and had very limited access to wifi/coverage. I sent an email to the hotel and informed them of the...cancellation. Our journey continued and we no longer had access to internet. Whilst we were on the road the hotel sent a response acknowledging the cancellation but said it had to be done via booking.com. By the time i read this and had the opportunity to get on line we were within the cancellation window policy and were charged the full amount. I phoned the hotel seeking understanding and to explain the situation. The “duty manager” wa...

if they are looking for a relaxing 4* wellness and hotel experience, they will continue to search. location is amazing, fortunately we spent our days on foot instead of in this hotel. the view from the balcony of the juliies is stunning, but outside the hotel is covered with spinnwebs. on bath mat, towels, face cloth, bed linen and spa route. hand towels were so thin that they were transparent as wet, not fluffy at all. booked spa for the jubilee evening, jacuzzi was good, but dirty and 1/4 of the jets didn't work. view from the restroom (only an empty room with chairs) was great, but the window was covered with vogelpoo, sprinkles and sprinkles. was reminded 3 times that there was a complai...

First of all apologies to all those poor and terrible reviews that I ignored and shouldn’t have! Within half an hour of arriving we contemplated going home. Check in was a rushed affair with no exchange of pleasantries. The main focus of the female owner...was for us to get our breakfast and dinner pre orders in ASAP. When I returned back through I started ordering breakfast and a comment was made about ‘that’s a lot’. When I said cereal and cooked breakfast, twice more comments were made about ordering a lot of food and was I sure I wanted so much. As someone who struggles with my body image I was mortified and asked was I not allowed to order what I had. It was pointed out I would be charg...
