At Tor-Na-Coille Hotel, reviewers often highlight the warm, attentive service and charming historic setting with attractive grounds, while also noting recurring niggles such as dated areas, rooms that run hot, and water or shower temperature and pressure issues.
Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, though some are smaller or creaky and certain fixtures, like TVs, feel small. Food is strongly reviewed, with excellent dinners and well accommodated gluten free and vegetarian options, while breakfast is usually good but can feel limited, disorganized, or restricted by timing. Expect a characterful base with comfort and a few quirks.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location, nestled in its own tree filled garden, was relaxing and the hotel itself still retained the charm of the family home it was. We ate in the restaurant: the food was excellent, plenty of choice for two vegetarians like us, and the staff were very helpful. We also tried some cocktails which were also excellent. Our stay was relaxing, enjoyable and good value for money.

An excellent welcome at reception on arrival, beautiful building. Our room was spacious and at the top front of the building so had a lovely view. Yes, the paintwork is in need of a freshen up in some areas but couldnt fault the cleanliness. The staff were very professional and helpful. The diining room, bar and lounge areas had been more recently decorated. Food was excellent but not cheap. The large garden was ideal to sit with a drink during the warm weather Location to town centre was great. I would definitely stay here again.

Hotel was set in nice woodland grounds, near the centre of Banchory. Greeted warmly by the receptionist. The hotel itself is a Victorian aged house and, in places, it does show. Room was comfortable enough, if a bit on the warm side, even with the window open. Restaurant menu was a bit over the top. Service was OK, was never really busy. There was a wedding function on the 1st night of my stay which, on the 2nd floor, I didn't hear anything.

Really nice hotel. Could probably do with a refurb soon but everthing is repaired and working and looks good. The service at the bar/restaurant was really good. The cooked breakfast was really well cooked with the best poached eggs I've ever had.

Comfortable bed and loved the lift, old fashioned but it worked, great to have in the Hotel. Breakfast was really good as was the lovely staff. Will go back.again as it has been decorated in most places and looks so lovely outside.

We were in room four which was huge. Double shower,double sinks in the bathroom, a dressing area and a separate bedroom with sofa chair desk and coffee table. WiFi was good and Freeview TV included. Breakfast was a combination of continental and cooked. Restaurant menu featured some excellent dishes and fish in the various forms offered was a highlight (3 dishes per night) Sweets were delicious and every hot meal served on a hot plate. Nothing too much for staff who were friendly attentive and knowledgeable.

Just back from a wonderful weekend break at Tor Na Coille. Lovely large room, very comfortable. Everything was thought off, bathrobes, a good hairdryer, iron and ironing board. I loved the decor in the public rooms. Very tastefully done. The food was amazing we ending up having dinner here both nights. Breakfast was also great. Plenty choice and all cooked fresh to order. All staff were very friendly and nothing was a bother. A special mention to the young bar man and the lovely receptionist. She went above an beyond. We will definitely come back.

We had a lovely stay at Tor Na Coille Hotel & Restaurant. The rooms were beautiful and very spacious, and the staff were welcoming. We dined in the restaurant and I had the steak burger with a side of pepper sauce — it was really tasty, and the chef was great at explaining how they could adapt other dishes for gluten-free too. The gluten-free options on the menu were excellent and made the meal stress-free. Our evening meal was delicious, and the breakfast the next morning was equally great, with plenty of choice and flavour. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for comfortable rooms and a really good gluten-free dining experience!

Breakfast was mostly good but could be a little disorganised (juice and milk running out, tables not fully laid etc.) and buffet was rather limited in range. However good choice of cooked items, well-presented.

The large garden was ideal to sit with a drink during the warm weather Location to town centre was great. I would definitely stay here again.
An excellent welcome at reception on arrival, beautiful building. Our room was spacious and at the top front of the building so had a lovely view. Yes, the paintwork is in need of a freshen up in some areas but couldnt fault the cleanliness. The staff were very professional and helpful. The diining room, bar and lounge areas had been more recently decorated. Food was excellent but not cheap.

Hotel was nice, and staff very helpful but our room was far too hot. Bar service was slow on the first evening due to lack of staff. Food in the restaurant was excellent.

The hotel is nice and reasonably well maintained. I found the decor a bit dated for my taste. I ate dinner one night and it was very nice. Breakfast was decent. All the hotel staff were excellent.

Out 2nd stay at the hotel, we returned as our first visit was excellent, however, they have now changed the breakfast service from a cooked to order, to a buffet, which we feel let down the quality of service.

Our room was really big with a huge bathroom. Thick curtains, cosy duvet, warm fluffy towels and plush loo paper. What more could anyone want?? Restaurant was nicely decorated. Food was great. My husband said it was the best steak he's ever had. They also sent out a dish with Happy Anniversary written on it with macaroons and strawberries. Such a lovely gesture.

We had a lovely stay at Tor Na Coille Hotel & Restaurant. The rooms were beautiful and very spacious, and the staff were welcoming. We dined in the restaurant and I had the steak burger with a side of pepper sauce — it was really tasty, and the chef was great at explaining how they could adapt other dishes for gluten-free too. The gluten-free options on the menu were excellent and made the meal stress-free. Our evening meal was delicious, and the breakfast the next morning was equally great, with plenty of choice and flavour. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for comfortable rooms and a really good gluten-free dining experience!

Very spacious room and cleaned to very good standard. Getting hot water could be temperamental due to old plumbing. Shower over bath and bath was very deep so if I went again I would ask for a walk in shower as being in my mid 70s I was not confident getting in and out of bath. We had dinner in the restaurant one evening and food was very good. Good choice at breakfast but could be better choice of bread.

Kitchen closes early. We were unfortunately subjected to 2 fire alarms and were forced to evacuate both times in the early morning hours. While I appreciate the apologies there was no offer of compensation.
