Situated in the picturesque village of Banchory in Royal Deeside, just 15 miles from Aberdeen, the Tor Na Coille Hotel is the perfect retreat for a romantic hideaway, weekend with the girls, or action-packed break.

The beautiful Victorian country house hotel has 25 individually styled bedrooms all with their own unique character and charm, from sumptuous four-poster beds for lounging on to roll-top baths for long, luxurious soaks.

Enjoy views of the woodland grounds from the relaxed fine dining restaurant where guests feast on a seasonal menu of contemporary and classic cuisine created by a former Scottish Chef of the Year.

The cosy lounge area, with large sofas and oversized armchairs, is the perfect stop for pre-dinner drinks or a nightcap before bed, and is also where the hotel’s popular afternoon teas are served.

The Tor Na Coille has a state of the art gym which also offers physiotherapy and beauty treatments. If lifting a latte is as energetic as you want to get, you’ll love the laid-back café bar.

Royal Deeside is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, with excellent walking, cycling trails and even the chance to go on Land Rover safaris. But those who prefer a more sedate pace will love the historic castles – including nearby Balmoral – and opportunity to tour malt whisky distilleries.

The prize package includes:

A two-night bed and breakfast stay

Prosecco afternoon tea on arrival

Evening meal on second night
