We had the most amazing time

From the moment we arrived and checked in to Cobbleheugh, together with our families, we had the most amazing time. The BBQ and staff were brilliant and having the privacy of the house and garden was perfect!

Exceeded our expectations

From our picturesque wedding on the banks of the River Dee, followed by live music and drinks on the lawn served from the 'Fox Box' to the wedding reception and Sunday BBQ in Cobbleheugh - Banchory Lodge exceeded our expectations and made our wedding weekend so very special!

Surpassed our expectations!

"From the moment we arrived and checked in to Cobbleheugh, together with our families, we had the most amazing time. The BBQ and staff were brilliant, and having the privacy of the house and garden was perfect. We were so pleased with the way the ballroom looked for our ceremony, and being able to have our drinks and photographs outside was idyllic. Our reception meal was excellent and the attention to detail when sending the food out was special. You surpassed our expectations and for that we are truly thankful."

Banchory Lodge was the perfect choice!

Banchory Lodge was the perfect choice for our wedding in January. The setting next to the river is so beautiful, and the team couldn't do enough for us. It truly was the best day." Steph and Scott
