Queen’s View Lodge

Queen's View Lodge spreads across two floors with the main living space upstairs: a generous open-plan area with kitchen, dining and lounge, where French doors open onto a balcony overlooking the woods. Downstairs holds three bedrooms—two with a pair of single beds each, one with a double—plus two bathrooms, one en-suite to a bedroom and one serving the others with a bath and shower.

The kitchen is properly equipped for cooking: electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and space to eat. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included. There's a travel cot and highchair if needed. One dog can stay free. You get private parking for two cars, including an electric charging point, and the whole lodge is yours alone—no sharing with other guests.

The location sits within Inchmarlo Golf Club's grounds, a 15-minute walk or short drive from Banchory, which has shops, restaurants and leisure facilities. The wider area draws golfers, walkers and salmon fishers to the River Dee. A pub lies within a mile. Note that the grounds have some steps, and smoking is not permitted inside.
