About this property
Cosy, comfortable lodge sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms. Pet friendly!
Comfortable, three bedroomed dog friendly lodge in a peaceful location in rural Scotland.
Just five minutes drive from the bustling town of Banchory - and even closer to the village of Torphins in Aberdeenshire.
Clachnaben is large, comfortable and open plan, with patio doors onto a covered deck, three bedrooms (one ensuite) and a second full bathroom.
Fully equipped for family holidays.
Perfect base to explore the beautiful north east of Scotland with castles galore (including the Royal residence at Balmoral), majestic mountains, the River Dee, plentiful wildlife, mountain biking, hiking, plus skiing and boarding in winter.
Something for every season!

About the host
Hosted by Ursula George
Originally from London, we moved to Scotland 30+ years ago - and still feel as if we're on holiday in this beautiful area!
With four children we have spent many holidays in the UK and abroad, usually self catering, so we know what you need for a comfortable, happy family holiday!

Why they chose this property
We live very close to the lodges and absolutely love Royal Deeside. Mountains, rivers, castles, wildlife - and a beautiful coastline only 30 minutes drive away - it really has it all!
So much to do for adults and children alike - or you can just cosy up in the lodge and relax.

What makes this property unique
The lodges are spacious and comfortable with a covered deck area for eating outside and plenty of space to run around and let off steam. The location is peaceful and rural with cows in the field across the road, yet less than five minutes drive takes you to the charming little town of Banchory with all amenities.
