Banchory Lodge

River Dee lodge where the dog gets a biscuit at the door and a seat in the bar

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A Georgian house on the bank of the River Dee at Banchory, thirty minutes west of Aberdeen and at the mouth of Royal Deeside. It is a salmon-fishing house at heart, with the water running past the lawn and the Bridge of Feugh a walk away. The welcome for dogs starts at the front door with a biscuit. Dogs can sit with you in the bar for a drink or a meal, which is the answer most Deeside hotels avoid giving.

Why it's in the collection

The Deeside Way, an old railway line turned level path, runs from the edge of Banchory, and Scolty Hill with its tower gives a short climb and a view back down the Dee valley.

Best suited for

A selection of rooms takes dogs, so ask for one when you book rather than on arrival.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

A selection of the rooms welcomes dogs rather than the whole house, so the dog needs to be mentioned at the time of booking. Dogs can join you in the bar for a drink or a meal. The hotel keeps dog biscuits at the front door and brings a bowl of water to the table.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
