Welcome to Woodend of Glassel! Our luxury, dog-friendly holiday lodges are set in a peaceful location in rural Scotland. We’re just a five minute drive from the bustling town of Banchory – and even closer to the village of Torphins in Aberdeenshire.
Both holiday lodges are large, comfortable and open plan. With patio doors leading out to a covered decking area, you can relax from the moment you arrive. So you can sit back and take in the views as you sip your morning coffee or while away the evening with a nice glass of wine.
Each lodge has a family bathroom and three bedrooms; one double with an en-suite shower room, a twin room and a full size bunk room.
Ben Macdui has a wood burning stove. If you like a nice toasty fire to cosy up in front of during the colder months this is the lodge for you.
