Settled on the banks of the River Dee, Banchory Lodge has recently undergone a complete £750,000 transformation. The style overhaul combines contemporary chic with classic Georgian features. The lovely function suite overlooks the river and can seat up to 120 diners, and guests can also gain exclusive access to Cobbleheugh House for an intimate dinner the night before or a wedding breakfast the morning after.
