    The view of the lake from our room was very nice. There were few other residents which made for a quiet stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

The Lodge on the Loch is a boutique spa and golf lodge located by Loch Aboyne with outstanding views of Cairngorm National Park. Our beautiful location enables guests to explore this stunning region of Scotland, and return in the evening to enjoy our seasonal menu that samples the best of Scottish produce. For guests that want to explore further afield, we are well-located to visit Balmoral Castle and explore the Malt Whisky and Castle Trails.
Our staff offer a friendly and helpful service to our guests, and are happy to offer recommendations of activities and places to visit in the area.
Situated across 35 acres of woodland, The Lodge on the Loch offers an ideal escape for rest and relaxation as well as invigorating countryside sports. We are close to the city of Aberdeen, yet in the centre of the great Scottish outdoors. From walking, mountain-biking, fishing and road cycling on our doorstep to snow skiing and world-class golf all within 1 hours drive, there is something to enjoy for everyone here.
