What our customers say about their holidays

  Had the great pleasure of staying at Larchwood Lodge with my family (2 adults + 3 children) over New Year for 5 nights.

  We all had a fantastic time. On arrival the lodge looked amazing in the dark with all the Christmas Lights in the garden and additional lights on the amazing 'Rustic Retreat'. And when we enteretd the property it was just so luxurious and relaxing inside we knew we had picked the right place to relax. Marion (property owner) had even personalised a few things for us, including a lovely welcome note and some essentials to help settle us in. The property truly is 5 star in terms of look and feel. And the facilities are top class. The lodge is located about 5 mins drive from the main centre of Ellon, and only 15-20 mins from a number of lovely tourist attractions for adults and kids. We visited several local beaches and a lovely soft play for my younger kids. So much more to do in the area for all ages. So if you are looking for a lovely base to relax in comfort, with the option of of some amazing sights and things to do within 30 mins of your door, Larchwood Lodge would be an ideal choice.

  Larchwood Lodge is a superb property in all respects - built to a very high standard by the owners and beautifully furnished with lots of thought and creativity.

  It is by far the best holiday property we have rented. It was spotlessly clean with a thoughtful gift of wine and cakes left by the owners on arrival. Outside the gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped with a wild meadow left at the back of the house. There is also a covered outside kitchen area which unfortunately, due to the weather we were unable to take full advantage of. The upstairs lounge had a balcony which overlooks beautiful countryside and where we spent much time sitting with a glass of wine watching the cows grazing in the field. There are lots of places to visit locally and indeed we spent a very pleasant day at Balmoral which was about an hour and a half drive away. All in all a terrific property with very pleasant owners who built it from scratch over a number of years. We will definitely return there in the future.

  Wow.! What a fantastic location

  . We had the most fantastic time away.Marion & Kevin (the owners) have done a great job.They are a lovely couple Marion was only to willing to bring us more logs for the log burner if we needed any. We can't stop talking about their property.It was one of the best place's we have stayed in. It had everything you could ask for as a family holiday let.If you are looking for a great family accomadation then this is the place.Location is great with both Aberdeen and Peterhead within a 30 minute drive. What was great for us as a family of 6 all over 18 was the Rustic retreat where you had a log burner and a bar area. This is where we spent the lovely sunny evenings chilling out and chatting about the days adventures,and enjoying a few beer's. We hopefully would love to go back. The Collinson family. :)

  We returned for our 2nd visit to Marion and Kevin's Larchwood lodge.

  What a dream destination in every way!! It is beautifully presented in each area of the house. The lounge and kitchen area upstairs has a fabulous view over the countryside and pond beyond which hosts an array of wildlife. The kitchen has everything any chef would require with a separate dining area for all the family. Downstairs the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are superbly appointed and cleaned to perfection. The gardens are immaculate and tended on a regular basis. The rustric retreat is fantastic to put logs on the fire and cook a steak with a large glass of red or two. Marion is always at hand to assist with anything and to have a friendly chat. We plan to return again in 2024 as we look on Larchwood as a "second home". Thank you again Marion and Kevin for a wonderful week. Iain and Georgia

  We've stayed in a few holiday lets in Dunoon over the past four years and this was a lovely place to stay with panoramic views across the West Bay.

  We immediately felt at home and the views were stunning. We stayed for a week and had a great time. Beds were very comfy with lovely bedlinen and it was warm and clean on arrival.Big spacious rooms so it was lovely to have a good central heating system when needed! The shower was great with good pressure. We loved it there and would book again in a heartbeat. Only points we would make are that the drive is very steep though which may impact on other guests who are less mobile or who are less confident about driving up and down it. We also noticed there was no grill pan or oven trays in the kitchen.A few garden chairs or a bench outside the front door would be a bonus too.These were minor issues for us as we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Can recommend and we will be back!
