Tor-na-coille - Banchory

The hotel is, as is often the case, poorly soundproofed, the elevator does not work, the rooms are not bad but they could do with a little updating. There is ample parking. The staff is smiling and very friendly. Rooms: 3 Service: 4 Location: 5

The location of the hotel is very good. Unfortunately I was hosted during a renovation and this didn't help the experience. Having dinner smelling vapours of paint solvent isn't great honestly. Food and drinks for dinner were absolutely fine. The room had a few maintenance issues including one of the radiators inop which caused the room being cold. I asked and got a fan heater to cope with it. I booked one of the nicest options for the room so the expectations were somehow different. I think the renewal process caused the most of the issues draining the hotel staff attention to cope with it. In any case, in out of a renewal process the hotel is fully recommendable.

Exceptional room and ever friendlier staff. So very welcoming and helpful at every turn. Looking for a stay in Royal Deeside, look no further! Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Luxury

Sunday roast dinner was fantastic. It makes Banchory Lodge's food resemble a transport cafe!
