The ramp, grab rails in the bathroom and one level living helped the elderly and the cot, high chair and laundry room worked for the baby. The cabin was clean, warm, welcoming and functional. We enjoyed the sunny deck and the daffodils. ##### Amanda V.

Comfortable beds but sofas very soft and low . Outside area is not gated .

It had all the necessary equipment . A washing machine would be helpful as the weather is so changeable. A delightful stay . The WiFi was unpredictable but on the walks we could get good signal to book our days out . ##### Reena T.

The lodge was lovely and clean. The beds were very comfy and the wood burner was a nice touch, especially when it was cold in October. A nice area for kids to play in. My wee boy appreciated the goals to play football with. A nice base for Banchory and the surrounding area. Need to take the car to travel to shops but a lovely, quiet area to get away from everything. Thank you!

Mattresses have seen better days. Car parking a little small, particularly if people are in the other lodge ##### Fergus M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 29 Aug 2024 #### Family stay at Ben Macdui Overall our stay at Ben Macdui was good. The lodge was well equipped for kitchen needs, it has plenty of storage in the bedrooms and the log burner is a cosy addition for colder evenings. We used it as a base from which to explore Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire. It was quiet and the welcome pack was a lovely addition. We had a small issue with broadband which the owners resolved promptly. The owners were friendly and helpful. There were a few areas for improvement. Primarily the car parking, it was very small when there were other cars there. I imagine there is space for 3 cars but only when sensibly parked. The shower in the main bathroom looks like it's been part renewed, but needs a new holder to go with the new head as when turned on it falls off it's holder.

Our family of 5 had the perfect stay, we were had a long drive up and was welcomed with a lovely little hamper. The rooms were ideal and spacious enough. Especially with 3 teenagers. The bathroom could have had locks that worked, just to save. Don’t come in the bathroom every 5 minutes from the kids! Ha. We spent most our days out about exploring with friends but the lodge was more than adequate to entertain friends. Whilst the children played outside, we sat on the large deck area eating enjoying food together. I found their website to be really helpful and referred to the list of things to do - highly recommend working your way through their suggestions. We also used Banchory Cycles to hire bikes out for our son’s 15th birthday. Only £25.00 for the day. They had the best time exploring the area. Will definitely be returning and have already recommended to friends. We loved it - just wish we had booked for longer. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vink 29 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Zeer welkom ontvangen, alles goed geregeld en goed georganiseerd.

Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieter, mit denen man gerne auch mal außer der Reihe plaudert. Betten, Einrichtung und Ausstattung sind OK. ##### Michael S.
