What a great location with the friendly hospitality you will only find with Derek and Jean -- the owners and creators of this very special place. I recommend this hotel establishment highly. Peace and tranquility on a swan lake with a surrounding walking path and a 9-hole golf course make this an exquisite retreat for all.

What an amazing stay I had at The Lodge on the Loch. Stunning scenery; cosy, clean and comfortable accommodation; a friendly welcome (even the other guests were friendly!); delicious food; relaxing spa treatments; free Wi-Fi; and a beautiful view from my room.
A huge shout out to the owner for being so attentive and kind; what a truly special lady she is ??
I highly recommend The Lodge on the Loch, and I look forward to visiting there again soon.

A lovely quiet night away at this beautiful retreat. The couple running the lodge were very welcoming and friendly and we had a hot tub, sauna and jacuzzi bath all to ourselves!
Beautiful scenery overlooking a loch and very spacious rooms!
Will definitely return!

I got in late and the managers went above beyond to look after my needs. Beautiful spot in the Highlands.

My only complaint was I was only staying one night ! We were in the family suite , the rooms were spacious, warm and clean. The shower was powerful , always a bonus . The bar area was very cleverly sectioned to provide a feeling of intimacy although you were in a shared room .The hosts were friendly and informative and I enjoyed 3 or 4 drams off the excellent single malt gantry with some impressive guidance from the owner . The full Scottish breakfast was of excellent quality and very well cooked . ( nice coffee too ) Throw in the breathtaking scenery and what?s not to love ! I?ll be back in the better weather for more than one night ,for sure !Food & drinks: Great breakfast , fantastic whisky selection

TLDR: Not as good as expected considering the price and 4 star hotel rating.Pros:-Great Location-Good sized room (gymnasium suite with sauna)-Service was friendlyCons:-A lot of strange rules and added charges-The restaurant was a far cry from the high class pictures of the food on the website and overpriced (£2.50 for a glass of soda water)-Room felt a little disheveled; stains on curtain in bathroom, floating bedside table had come off the wall, broken board on outside decking-Room layout was strange as it was previously a gym; huge mirror wall, old fire exit sign with piece of cardboard over the top, furniture blocking the sliding doors to the deck-Private hot tub not very private as on the deck that connects the downstairs rooms and looked over by the upstairs rooms

Brilliant stayed in suit last night I think I left shorts in the sauna room but overall was lovely very friendly owner our breakfast was lovely fresh fruit granola and yogurt!! The other reviews about friendliness seem very strange because I found the female especially friendly and helpful ?Rooms: Nice

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!

What an amazing location! Beautiful view of the loch from our balcony. Rooms were clean and big. Loved having use of the hot tub on our balcony. Good food and service. Thoroughly recommend so much so have booked to revisit.
