Accessed through a sweeping drive and nestled on the banks of the Loch of Aboyne is the truly stunning and purpose-built Lodge on the Loch which benefits greatly from its 15 bedrooms, 60 cover restaurant, bar and on-site spa facilities. Situated in the most beautiful setting overlooking the loch it also sits on the edge of its own exceptionally well maintained 9-hole golf course. The business is currently run to suit the needs of the present owners but the opportunity for any new proprietor is immense. Rarely does such a unique opportunity come to market and early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the business opportunity the Lodge on the Loch presents.



Aboyne, a picturesque village on the edge of the Highlands in Aberdeenshire, offers a wealth of local amenities including schools, a sports center with a pool, an 18-hole golf course, medical and dental facilities, as well as various shops, hotels, restaurants, and eateries. The surrounding area of Royal Deeside is renowned for its leisure activities such as golfing, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, and scenic walks/hill climbing. In winter, skiing at Glenshee and the Lecht is just an hour's drive away. The city of Aberdeen, approximately 29 miles distant, provides convenient local transport links and extensive bus, rail services, along with national and international flights from Dyce Airport. Aberdeen's East Coast Rail network connects to the central belt and the rest of the UK.

The Lodge on the Loch is perfectly situated for guests to explore Royal Deeside and the Cairngorms National Park, with nearby attractions including the Royal Family Retreat at Balmoral, historic castles, breathtaking landscapes, and the renowned Malt Whisky trail.



The Lodge on the Loch in Aboyne is a remarkable Spa Hotel with diverse revenue streams, currently managed by the owners with part-time staff. Despite its current success, the business has untapped potential for significant growth under new ownership. Featuring a 60-cover restaurant and a large veranda overlooking the Loch, the Lodge offers 4* AA accredited rooms and suites, each uniquely furnished with stunning views of the Loch of Aboyne and iconic Scottish Munros.

Renowned for its exceptional service and picturesque setting, the Lodge garners outstanding online reviews and enjoys repeat business. Additionally, the hotel hosts international tours with an annual contract for residential stays. With a rich history as a sought-after wedding and events venue, the Lodge boasts an 85-seat function suite and has evolved into a Holistic Retreat with unique features like a Stone Circle and Labyrinth. It also attracts renowned events like the Dinnie Stones lifting competition and offers access to world-class salmon fishing on the River Dee and mountain biking trails in the surrounding area.



The Lodge on the Loch is meticulously maintained, offering immaculately furnished rooms and public areas with meticulous attention to detail. The property features a spacious reception area leading to the bar and main restaurant, all designed to maximize the stunning views of the lawn and Loch. With multiple access points to the veranda, the property seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces.

On the ground floor, there are 7 bedrooms, including suites and a spa suite, with five rooms providing private access to the veranda and hot tubs overlooking the loch. These rooms are well-equipped with luxurious amenities like steam showers, jacuzzi baths, and king-sized beds. The first floor houses 8 ensuite bedrooms, with 7 offering loch views and four benefiting from a Juliet Balcony. Additionally, there is an 85-seat function suite on this floor.

Maintained at the highest standards, The Lodge on the Loch has the potential to be transformed back into a fully operational golf and spa resort with treatment rooms under new ownership.

Overall, the property spans an impressive 1380 square meters.
