10/10!! Cant wait to come back

Overall a wonderful stay and will definitely visit again in future

Perfect very quiet and relaxing not like the average holiday camp perfect

if you want a relaxing holiday, nothing to distract you, and having a lovely hot tub, this is the place to be!!

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.

Beautiful lodge very good .

Great holiday. Will be back

Nice quiet relaxing holiday. Would go again.

Loved our 3 night stay! Very peaceful and a perfect location.

Great break in a lovely lodge. Everything we needed in the lodge and very clean and tidy.

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.

Enjoyable holiday and well worth the money

Nice peaceful park. Lovely lodge.

Was very impressed . Lodge was very warm and we were not allowed to regulate the heating or charged would incur . So had to open windows and doors . One of the privately owned ajoining lodges had two large and very noisy dogs .

Have just booked whales with you in June
So definetly a winner with us.

Very relaxed and I would come back for another visit as it was such great value for money and relaxing, just like a little home from home.

Really nice comfy lodge to stay in with open plan kitchen dining room and lounge. Comfy sofas, wifi, balcony, microwave, washing machine etc.
Couldn't get DVD player to work but had brought own laptop to play on. Telly itself was good. Kitchen was great, needed sharper knives.
Beds were comfy, showers great.
Site was in countryside but local to Banchory with 2 supermarkets only 5-10min drive away. Good local walks in Banchory, castle crathes had fred adventure playground for national trust members.

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

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.

Great overall stay and have recommended to friends and will return in future
