Tor Na Coille Hotel & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent
"We had a brilliant stay at Tor Na Coille Hotel in Banchory and would happily return. The standout feature was definitely the team there, every member of the team was incredibly warm, welcoming, helpful, and genuinely made us feel looked after from the moment we arrived. Their friendliness and professionalism really made the whole experience special. The hotel itself is lovely, with a relaxing atmosphere and a great location. Everything was clean and comfortable, and overall we had a fantastic time. Some plugs next to the beds would the cherry on top. That aside, this was an excellent stay and I would highly recommend Tor Na Coille to anyone visiting the area"

"We stayed in one of the offsite casa style rooms which was perfect for our family (we were parents travelling with two teenagers). Room was clean and had all we needed for our two night stay. We appreciated the afternoon scones and tea in the main hotel. We were surprised that our rooms didn’t have any housekeeping between our first and second nights so I’m not sure if that was part of the casa room service or not but our request for addition towels was taken care of quickly!"
