Amazing get away! Louise was a wonderful host and accommodated for our 10 dogs… even going as far as making sure there was a freezer on site for dog food! Couldn’t do enough for us and the place is just beautiful and clean. Very relaxing experience.

The experience from start to finish was amazing, from communication, to arrival, to the lodge itself, the surroundings, the walks, hot tub, facilities, couldn’t fault a thing, will definitely be back soon.

One week at Bennachie Lodge on Logie Newton Farm is the reset and break away you didn't know you needed. Rural luxury and like a home away from home. The most genuine, inclusive and dog friendly accommodation we've come across in Scotland so far! Louise & Mike have been the best hosts and we will definitely be back with Isla & Luís (if we're allowed). 🐾🖤🤎🐾

Firstly the communication with Louise was superb, I had quite a few queries and Louise dealt with them all and put my mind at rest. Her responses were so fast and contained all the information that I needed. The lodge is fabulous, really high end luxury. Extremely clean and welcoming. Everything that you would need for a great holiday is included (and more) and of top notch quality. Cutlery, crockery, pans, utensils, and so much more, are all matching and high quality. Appliances are all top of the range and immaculate. The beds are really comfortable and again the linens are top quality. The bathrooms are beautifully decorated and appointed, really impressive. The outside space is incredible, just sitting and drinking in the views and peace and tranquillity. The hot tub is of the same high end quality and even the addition of plastic flutes, everything is thought of. Dogs and horses are so welcome, the welcome pack for our dog was such a beautiful addition to our welcome. I don't want to spoil the experience by letting out some of the absolutely lovely things that Louise does to make sure that you are made welcome, but she really does go above and beyond to make sure that you are comfortable and happy. If you are concerned about being eco friendly, then Louise and team have thought about everything and I doubt that you would be concerned at any aspect of the accommodation. I just can't recommend the lodge, the interior, the exterior and the team enough, thank you so much for a fabulous holiday.

We had a fantastic stay at the Bennachie Lodge with our old pooch Percy the Dog Park and wood walks were perfect plus the enclosed garden so we could chill and know he was safe in his surroundings. The weather complimented our stay although the sheer luxury of the lodge and amenities would have made it a great stay without the sunshine. Louise was the best host you could wish for and when our daughter and granddaughters arrived for a visit she went out of her way to show them the animals on the farm, the 3 Alpacas, 4 Sheep and 3 lovely horses. That really made their day. The guide and map was the best we have seen and we took advantage of the advice contained in them especially the Farm shop just down the road which was state of the art, sold fantastic produce and ready meals and the best coffees. We can't wait to book again especially as we already miss the Highland Cows which we visited and fed everyday.

We had a fantastic stay at Logie Newton Lodges. Louise, our host, was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, making us feel at home right away. The dog hamper was such a thoughtful touch, and our Beagle Chester loved the secure garden to roam safely. The hot tub was the perfect place to unwind while soaking in the beautiful panoramic views - from breath-taking sunrises to magical moonlit nights.

Fantastic lodges with everything you need. Very dog friendly with treats, bowls and lead. You can even have the dog on the sofa as long as you use the throws provided!

We stayed in the Bennachie lodge and had the best time, it is beautifully designed and finished to a very high standard with every detail thought of even down to the personalised towels. A lovely dog hamper was also provided with bowls, towels, shampoo, local dog treats etc. The farm tracks and dog field were great for our dog to run around in, she also met the highland cows through the fence they were so friendly. The views from the lodge were stunning, it was total bliss being in the hot tub after a day of exploring and just relaxing and taking it all in. Louise was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, we will definitely be back and we highly recommend a stay at the Logie Newton Lodges you will not be disappointed.

We are just back from a lovely long weekend, was our first time at the lodges, they are beautiful inside and out, they are fully equipped, we got a lovely hamper for our dogs with local treats, dog tags and extra lead etc, we must of picked the hottest weekend ever to go but lodges have air con which was a life saver. The views from the lodges are just simply beautiful, loads a lovely walks. Both humans and animals are well looked after. The owner Louise was so helpful and gave us a lovely tour around the farm animals which our wee girl loved, we even got to feed the highland cows that are right outside your lodge, in the evening we chilled out in the hot tub, was just bliss

This place exceeded all expectations in both the horse, dog and human accommodation. We were so well catered for, the lodge was exceptionally clean and the sofas and beds were very comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for Louise and she really does make such an effort to ensure we were all having a great stay. My horse enjoyed the facilities very much and was so relaxed that despite being the only horses there at the time, she lay down and had a good sleep in her big stable with comfy deep bedding. We came in June and are heading back in September so that I can ride the epic tracks with my horse again. I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed in staying here!

An absolute gem of a place! Fantastic views, so quiet and beautiful. Wonderful sunsets in a peaceful setting. Beautiful space and the hot tub is a cherry on top. We had a fantastic weekend and couldn't ask for anything more. Really can't recommend enough.

The lodge was immaculate and the views were even better. Getting to meet the animals was a bonus too. We will definitely be back.

We stayed in the 2 bed lodge for my sister’s 60th birthday in ‘March 2025. We have visited the farm on numerous occasions for the fantastic farm rides and watched with great interest as the lodges were being built. The finished result is excellent. The lodges are set up on the hill with panoramic views of Bennachie and surrounding countryside. The lodges are beautifully decorated with everything you could need for a stay. Plenty of room for the 6 guests as well as room for others who came for the afternoon tea. The hot tub was our favourite spot sitting out under the stars enjoying a glass (or 2) of Prosecco. We brought our little westie dog along to visit and he even had a fully enclosed dog park to play in. Looking forward to returning with the horses for a horsey holiday. Thoroughly recommend a stay.

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.

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.
