Just back today from a perfect few days at Willow Lodge.
The lodge is absolutely beautiful, everything is done to such a high standard.
The house is more than big enough for 6 adults and 2 dogs.
The hot tub is just the perfect finishing touch to the wonderful deck and BBQ area, we certainly made the most of the outdoor space especially the tub!!!
Lots of space for the dogs, the garden isn't fully enclosed but we put our 2 on a ground spike and long line .
Lots of good eating places in Inverurie, we had a takeaway delivered to the lodge.
We were lucky enough to see red deer, red squirrels, rabbits and even a wee bat that was peaking out the sign on the house.
We will most certainly be booking again.

Willow Lodge
We had a wonderful week at Willow Lodge! From booking through to the holiday everything was effortless and all contact with Mel was first class!
What a wonderful place! The lodge itself is immaculate, very well laid out and well equipped. A real home from home. So quiet and peaceful and ideal for a wheelchair user. Our dog loved her holiday too and the garden is perfect! The hot tub was well used as was the outside sitting area as we were lucky enough to be on holiday during a heatwave. I arranged Morrisons home delivery for our arrival, which was ideal. We had carry outs delivered also. We made the most of this lovely lodge and location and would highly recommend to anyone going. Thanks again we had a ball! Lisa xx

Spacious, clean and conveniently located accommodation
We booked Willow Lodge for five adults and a sprightly but elderly cocker spaniel as our base for our attendance at a family wedding. The Lodge proved to be very conveniently situated, was spacious, clean and provided the required number of bedrooms and bathroom facilities we needed.
Unfortunately, due to involvement with the wedding preparations and the event itself, we did not have the opportunity to avail ourselves of the tantalising hot tub nor to explore the woods but our dog did enjoy the walk along the track. On our last day we did manage to visit the stunning coast.
We were really impressed with the friendly staff in every shop we visited in Kintore and Inverurie and with the general cleanliness and lack of litter..
Many thanks, Mel for your kind and very prompt responses. Hopefully, we shall be able to return in the future to enjoy a proper holiday.

Airy spacious lodge in kintore
Had the absolute pleasure of staying here during a warm spell of weather, my kids were never out of the hot tub, the house is so light and spacious and the garden and the drive up the track to the house so amazing and full of wildlife, very easy to get to literally minutes from the dual carriageway but also tucked away in the countryside at the same time, will definitely consider booking again.

Lovely relaxing break
Was really looking forward to this break after seeing the pictures and wasn't let down. The house is finished to a really high standard with all amenities provided. The large garden and hot tub made the week for both us the kids and the dog. Information for local attractions was also provided and really helpful. We had a great week relaxing in the hot tub and can't wait to come back and explore more of the area

Pet-friendly stunning Lodge
The lodge is spacious, clean and just a joy to be in. Had the family over and we just wanted to stay for the week. The Dogs loved the forest and the big garden while we enjoyed the amazing hot tub. We will defo be back, and would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to just take time away from everyday life and relax and see the countryside. Thanks again Mel

Lodge Weekend - (21st- 24th October 2021)
This lodge is a great place for anyone looking for a quiet weekend away. The lodge is immaculately presented inside and out and is a great place to spend a few days. The lodge is only a few miles away from Kintore which can be used for transport into Aberdeen.
Thanks for a great stay.

We loved our stay!
We are regular renters of homes, and we were thrilled to have stayed at Willow lodge, it is beautifully built and fabulously comfortable. The spacious home has everything one could wish for, the setting is lovely, just remote enough, but also easily accessible with great food shopping in nearby Inverurie. The hot tub is perfect for a relaxing end of the day soak under the stars or a refreshing start to the day before exploring the many local castles, beaches and countryside. We had great day trips to Balmoral and Loch Garten and visited National Trust for Scotland properties…all within easy reach of the home.
We would love to return, and wholeheartedly recommend this home.
Thank you Mel for all your help and for sharing your lovely home with us.
