We are just back from a weekend in the hotel, having spent our honeymoon here over 16 years ago. The staff were professional, friendly and went out of their way to ensure that we had a realxing break, little touches were very welcome ie they came in and lit the fire when we went into the lounge to read the... more

As a past guest and one who has sent others to stay here on business, dismayed that the potential of this property is not being realised, I hear great news - the Tor na Coille has been bought as a going concern by the highly respected owner of the nearby Drumtochty Castle Hotel. I understand the new Management Team took... more

I had travelled to Banchory for a friend's wedding. I booked this hotel. It was advertised as a luxury hotel and I chose a superior double room. This hotel is a disgrace. The room was THE MOST HIDDEOUS I have ever seen in 28 years of travelling. 1970's bedding and old tired furniture. Damp Walls and threadbare carpets. The hotel... more

please do not go to this hotel. We checked out after 15 minutes due to the appalling attitude of the staff and awful condition of the hotel and bedrooms.

Check in was easy and I was shown to the room rather than given instructions. Carpets were a bit thread worn in areas in the corridor but that did not bother me. Room was a... more

Interesting to read the comments about the owner of the Tor Na Coille, how she has survived in the "hospitality" business is one of life's mysteries. I billeted a television crew there some years ago. In the morning after a live broadcast the sound op returned to the hotel and removed his sodden shoes before going to breakfast. Ms Sloan... more

We had a wonderful one night stay at the Tor-na-coille. From my first enquiry regarding availability, I found the experience very friendly and efficient. The room was fantastic - a lovely sized room with double bed for my husband and I, and a separate room within in with double bed, single bed or cot for the our 2 children. Privacy!!!... more

I travel all over Scotland and England, i complained about the beef, which i can honestly say was the worst piece i have ever eaten, i sent it back and ordered another piece. The next was the same so i left it and told the waitress, she said it would be knocked off the bill, in the morning they tried... more
