Bennachie Lodge Hotel in Kemnay

Warm friendly welcome on arrival. Good clean room, lovely modern bathroom. The service and food in therestaurant was really really good,and fairly priced. 4/5 due to the numerous narks on the room wall where the paint's been damaged - a minor thing for me.

Excellent evening out with friends to the Bennachie Lodge . Not been for a while and very glad we came back. Service was very friendly helpful and efficient. Nothing too much for them. Food all delicious. King prawn starters and Tournedos Rossini got top marks closely followed by the Chicken Maryland . We’re going back soon .

We came for breakfast on Sunday with our friends. The breakfast menu was quite limited in their choice of offerings. Three of our group decided on the full breakfast and I had the eggs and sausages (this should have been bacon but they swapped it over for me. We ordered a pot of tea but had to ask for a pot of boiling water as the tea was quite strong. The breakfasts came without too much of a wait but I was underwhelmed with the scrambled eggs I had, they tasted ok but were a pale brownish colour not pale yellow as you would expect so this was slightly off putting. We’ve been at the Bennachie lodge before for evening meals but wouldn’t hurry back for breakfast. In saying that, the young waitress girl was very polite and attentive to our needs so no complaints there.

We stayed at this hotel for the weekend. The room are not bad. On Saturday I had the breakfast omelette and toasts it was bit funny taste. I notice that the chef isnt work in the morning doing for the brekkie. I was puzzle how the staff cook it as well the reception etc. My friend just found out that they take the clamshell box out of the fridge in the reception and then put it in the microwave, I was appalled and wonder how old the omelette in clamshell box. On Saturday two men checked the clamshell in the fridge make me feel sick I wonder any people touch it before I ate it, so I took photos of those. I would advise you all DON'T EAT THE BREAKFAST AT THIS HOTEL. its not hygiene because people still touch it. Also I asked the staff where is the cutlery so staff point this one box. I have to search the fork and knives but they are mixed in one box so how many people touch those???? On Sunday we went to local breakfast it was superb, I was disappointed that the hotel downhill so in the 10 years ago we went there, it was amazed but not now. Friday night staff was bit rude, tell us to leave the bar room but we are stay at the hotel? i am sorry we will not come back to the hotel again as one staff was upset to my friend about the booking room

Lovely hotel, booked basic room it was fine, nice new bathroom, the shower was really powerful!! Only thing I didn't like was size of TV, too small. Public bar and restaurant downstairs but couldn't hear a thing from the room.

The staff welcomed my wife and myself for our Ruby Wedding making us feel at home from the outset. The facilities were excellent and the food was as good as I have tasted at such an establishment. It was pet friendly (We had a Labrador) and the locals included us in their banter (I must admit I have heard better jokes lol). Locals drank in the bar area but you couldn't hear them when in the room. Small things make a huge difference and a hand written message on the inside of the lid on a pizza box "Thank you from all the staff at the Lodge" brought a huge smile to our faces. It really should be my wife and myself who are saying Thank You for the impeccable attention to detail and warm welcome provided by all staff (without exception). Dining in the heated 'Dome' in the huge garden was a magnificent experience and a massive thank you to the chef for the recommendation - the fillet steak cannot be beaten. We will definitely return. Top marks from both of us.

this place was fantastic. people and the food were great. we hunted roe deer and the chef prepared an amazing meal from it for us. the grounds are well kept, the rooms were clean and nice. recommend to everyone. thank you to all the staff

The hotel is so wonderful and set in such beautiful surroundings. It may not be ultra modern but is so authentic and has such a homely feel. The staff cannot do enough and the rooms are so clean with some lovely views and is so peaceful. The food is amazing and such good value. Highly recommend particularly if you are on a budget these days as prices are so reasonable

Chicken was sent back as it was raw and the ploughmans lunch was terrible basically a multi pack single small pork pie and some cheap cheese Then made a mistake in Bill charging us for things we hadn't ordered Won't be back
