About this place

The Banchory Lodge Hotel, nestled beside the world-renowned River Dee, a salmon-fishing paradise, enjoys a tranquil setting near the town of Banchory, yet is only a 25-minute drive from Aberdeen's business districts. Business travelers can find respite in this peaceful haven, enjoying river views while catching up on emails over drinks and casual fare in our bar. Leisure travelers will find this small, welcoming hotel an ideal base for exploring the Castle and Whisky Trails, and the scenic Royal Deeside. Afternoon tea, featuring sandwiches, miniature cakes, and a pot of tea, awaits guests upon their return to the hotel lounge. For sports enthusiasts, fishing, shooting, and excellent golf courses are easily accessible, including Trump International Golf Links at Balmedie, a 45-minute drive away. The hotel's 28 en-suite rooms are traditionally decorated, including three four-poster rooms and several spacious family rooms. Our varied menu showcases the best of local Scottish produce, featuring Aberdeen Angus beef, Scottish salmon, and regional cheeses. Guests can dine in the bar, restaurant, or one of our private dining rooms. The hotel also caters to conferences, family celebrations, and weddings.
