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.

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 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.
