We cannot recommend Louise and the Woodland Lodge enough! The lodges are just perfect. Quiet, Scenic & High Quality. Louise met us on arrival, gave us the tour, then left us to it. We found the lodge to be very clean, well presented and extremely cosy. The kids loved the hot tub - and pretty much spent most of their time in there! Louise really has done a fantastic job with the lodge and we would 💯 recommend you book your stay here! We will 💯 return in the near future - and look forward to seeing Louise again.

We recently stayed at Woodlands Lodge and had an absolutely fantastic experience. The accommodation is finished to a remarkably high standard; it’s clear that every detail was thoughtfully designed with quality in mind, way above expectations. The location and views are breathtaking, photos do not do it justice. The hosts went over and above to ensure that we felt welcome and well-cared for throughout our visit. Our 5 year old twin boys were thrilled during our stay. They got to explore the wonderful surroundings by visiting the farm animals, and even got a chance to sit in a tractor. Thorneybank farm shop was amazing, packed with fresh produce and local delights, very welcoming and helpful owner. Overall, we highly recommend Logie Newton Lodges for anyone looking for a high-quality, welcoming retreat. A unique experience in a beautiful and very private location. We can’t wait to return!… without the kids!

Me and my partner stopped over as we had work in Turriff. It was lovely to come back to a calm, modern, relaxing environment. The lodge was absolutely stunning, huge credit to the owners for the attention to detail. Great place to take pets, would 100% come back again.

Thoroughly enjoyed staying at the lodge this weekend. Fully utilised the hot tub and was able to take in the views over a few drams. Stunning location; well kitted out place. Louise was very friendly and approachable - I was particularly grateful that she was able to accommodate a later check out. I will absolutely be back to this wonderful spot!

A Magical Countryside Retreat

Our stay at this stunning country Self-Catering Lodge was fabulous. From the moment we arrived at Bennachie Lodge, we were captivated by the breathtaking panoramic views of the rolling countryside, with the iconic Bennachie in the distance. It truly is a new gem added to Aberdeenshire tourism, offering luxury, peace, beauty, and a deep connection to nature.

The lodge itself was superbly built by Mike — and along with Louise thoughtfully designed, extremely comfortable, and with every detail carefully considered. Cosy yet spacious, it provided the perfect setting for relaxation and catching up with loved ones. One of the highlights was spending the evening by the fire pit, gazing up at a sky full of stars, an unforgettable experience. Thank you Louise for the excellent sky app which helped pinpoint the star constellations. Then, waking up to a spectacular sunrise over the hills was simply magical.

The surrounding woodland walks were a joy to explore, offering fresh air and tranquility. The presence of ponies, alpacas, a variety of birds and the most adorable lambs added to the charm, making it feel like a true rural escape.

This lodge is an absolute dream for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. Louise & Mike can be very proud of what they have achieved here and we wish them both all the very best with their new adventure. Their passion and ideas introduces a way forward for rural tourism at Logie Newton in the 21st century. We very much look forward to returning.

It was the best place to bring in the new year and can’t wait to be back again. We loved everything about this lodge it was amazing location was beautiful and peaceful. Our host Louise was so warm and helpful. The lodge was perfect also very clean and had everything you needed will be back in a few months time for a longer stay this time.

My family and I had the most wonderful break here, staying in the Woodland Lodge. This lodge stands out more than any other we’ve visited. The views are spectacular! We managed to see the northern lights, thanks to a little guidance from Louise, otherwise I’m not sure we would have managed! We used the hot tub every day and the temp was perfect. We toasted marshmallows on the BBQ fire pit at sunset which was amazing. Our dog was made to feel as welcome as us which is important to us. We will definitely return, hopefully soon!

Our host Louise was so welcoming and provided everything we needed and more. We like to go away to lodges often with our dog, Cooper and Logie Newton has been our favourite by far. The location is perfect and feels so peaceful, we like to be active and there were so many farm walks and running routes for us to try which was great. The lodge itself is equipped with everything that we needed and decorated so well. Everything was thought of and was so cosy. Our dog Cooper loved it too - especially the hamper that was left for him with treats, towels, shampoo, bowls etc and the hot water hose was great for keeping him clean. The location of the hot tub was perfect to watch amazing sunsets and sunrises and star gazing - it really was perfect. Louise was very helpful and the pre arrival information was great and allowed us to plan different places we wanted to go, walking routes and local businesses. And offering to arrange a butchers order for our arrival was great! We will definitely be back!

We were lucky enough to stay in the larger lodge, the Woodland Lodge, for a few days last week. It is finished to a very high standard with great attention to detail. We had our wee dog with us, and there was a welcome basket there containing treats, shampoo, a lovely smelling spray, a super dry towel, and bowls were also provided. The kitchen is well equipped and the whole place was immaculate....we were honoured to be the first paying guests at the Woodland Lodge. We would all recommend a stay here. 10/10, a super build and a superior stay.

Having watched with great interest the development of Logie Newton lodges, we booked the Woodland lodge for a family get together last weekend. Despite the bad weather outside from storm Darragh, we had a lovely stay at the lodge.  The lodge was modern, cosy and spacious enough for our 5 adults, toddler and dog, with visits from Mike, Louise and Ozzy. Apart from food and personal items everything we needed was provided. The beds and sofas were very comfortable and the indoor climate control was great. Despite the floor being covered in grand daughter Emilie’s toys there was plenty of room for everyone to relax in comfort. I would highly recommend the Logie Newton lodges for anyone looking for great accommodation in a lovely quiet rural location.

We stayed in Bennachie lodge last week, and I wish I could have stayed there forever. Due to the snow we had to change our plans for going out and about but it turned out we had everything right on our doorstep. Hot tubs in the evening snow, miles of dog walks and views to die for from the sofa and the bed from those wonderful window walls!! Perfect way to relax. The attention to detail in the lodge is beyond amazing, I wish my house was kitted out as well. We all settled in straight away. The dogs had a great time and even the one that doesn't like thunder and lightning was completely unaware of the storms outside. Plus, it was amazing meeting your animals, Loon has stolen my heart. Thank you for looking after us so well.

The tracks are really well kept and great underfoot - just perfect for walk, trot and canter. There are miles and miles of grassy tracks to explore and you get great views of Bennachie and its fine summits from various angles.

I visited Logie Newton Farm April 2024. I highly recommend visiting with your horses if you get the chance, on arrival we were greeted and guided to our parking space by Louise. After tacking up she explained the safety rules and gave us directions on the route, (though it was clearly signed). After a small section of quiet roadwork you hit the tracks, they are all well prepared and the views are amazing. After some very wet weather and numerous events cancelled I was surprised this group ride went ahead, but the going was great, the ground wasn’t heavy and allowed for some serious fast work on the long hills. Go if you get the opportunity!

I’ve visited Logie Newton Farm a few times with my highland pony and would highly recommend it. Louise and her family are very friendly and helpful. Louise has her own highland ponies so she understands horsey things. The hacking is amazing and it’s in a lovely setting.
