Carole, Glasgow

Date of stay: 31st July 2020

Really enjoyable family holiday with 3 adults and 5 kids and the accommodation was modern and spacious.
Only negative comment is that our lodge could do with some extra cleaning in those hard to reach areas eg behind beds etc as cobwebs/dust and quite a lot of the plates were chipped and need replacing.

Michelle, Halifax

Date of stay: 1st November 2019

This was a lovely peaceful break away. Nice quiet location, out of town but only 30 mins from Aberdeen and all it has to offer.
The lodge itself was well stocked with everything we needed, even big pans (family of 6 used to having to take own pasta pan and supplies). The lodge itself was showing some signs of minor wear and tear but nothing substantial that would have put us off, it merely detracted from the "luxury" status. The same would apply to the strange do not use type of signs put on some of the switches to heating and bathroom fans. Surcharge was mentioned if we altered the heating setting too which was curious, we struggle to agree on a temperature of the house at home so how someone else can guess this for us is a mystery. I'd say heating is either free or it's not.
Overall though it was a nice experience and one I would repeat.

After long hours of driving on Good Friday, it was good to be greeted by a welcoming owner who took us to our immaculate Lodge. Pleasant surprise to have facility for a barbecue and chairs to sit outside and enjoy the view. These, together with a clean hot tub made Easter Even more enjoyable. We all felt very relaxed by the end of our Stay and have all agreed to go back. Thank you

Claire, Glasgow

This is our 2nd stay here this year at Castlewood Lodges. We went again as a family with 2 children aged 6 and 10 and with our puppy. We stayed in a clochnaben lodge which is a large lodge with a hot tub. The balcony is perfect for letting the dog come and go from the indoor to the outdoor space safely. The lodge has bags of space and is very clean and comfortable and is equipped with everything you need. You get a some essentials in the lodge on your arrival like Tea, coffee, Milk, cereal, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, hand wash and 2 towels in each room which is fab. The owners are lovely and are very helpful. There scenery is gorgeous are there lovely walks nearby. Banchory is only a short 10mins drive away for shops, food etc. The local takeaway restaurants deliver to the park. Stonehaven beach is only 30mins drive away which is lovely and there is a huge play area there for children. Crathes Castle is only 15mins away from the park the grounds there are lovely too and it has a go ape and a play area for kids too, its great for walk with the dog. Will definitely go back to Castlewood its fab value for money and such a beautiful location. Thanks again guys for another fabulous weekend stay.
