A really gorgeous evening from start to finish, the service was amazing and the food was perfect, very impressed with the separate menu that they had available  for our vegan! Absolutely loved it, we will be back soon!

Fantastic food and service!

Lovely ambience and restaurant recently redecorated to high standard but food disappointing. Arancini balls underwhelming as all risotto with a tiny amount of mushroom and missing mozzarella. Turkey roll not great either, overdone topped with raw bacon. We didn’t stay for dessert!

Not as expected

We had a family meal tonight with 10 family members but the noise was terrible with cocktails being continuously made right next to our table so basically you couldn’t hear your self or other family members speak due to ice being rattled continuously. The roast rib was excellent but the mashed potatoe portion was very small so ended up with lots of gravy and only one vedge with which was spinach. The fish batter was horrendous on two of the meals soaked in oil and at this price point should be quality crisp beer batter. The fries were acceptable but could easily be improved. 
The smoked salmon starter was very good but again the portion size was not worth £10.00 with three slivers of salmon but tasted great all the same.
The service was the poorest on this occasion with very little attention to our table and with high prices like this service should match but was very poor indeed. I was shocked at being offered a steak at £85.00 when my favourite hotel can do the best 12 oz sirloin for £60.00 with all the trimmings and service second to none.
Lovely improvement in the new lounge but a front of house person is required in the busy weekend restaurant and some focus on portion size with some of the relatively expensive starters and the wine is overpriced at the hotel. 
Note I can see great potential for the Tor-na-coille hotel but there is a fine line in pricing your self away from success and good service is essential to support this. Keith knight Banchory

A little dissapointed

Went here for lunch with my sister on Friday 10th We were so impressed with our food the service and the lovely staff who looked after us great atmosphere and genuinely welcoming We shall definitely be returning 

Wonderful service

Beautiful setting in the country and a great refurb been carried out. Food was delicious and great drinks menu too. the staff catered well to all our need. Had a lovely meal with great service.  Catered very well for all ages. Will certainly be back.

Great setting, even better service and food

We visited the restaurant as a large group for a surprise birthday party and had an excellent experience. The staff worked flawlessly with us to ensure that the surprise was kept throughout (even with our theatric demands and changing plans) and service was outstanding. The food was delicious, pre-ordering was easy and staff were very attentive with food allergies and options.

We had brought up a birthday cake with us which unfortunately was damaged in our journey, and the restaurant/chef was able to recover it and turn it into a more beautiful cake than it was prior. A lot of effort had been made by the staff to achieve this and we are incredibly grateful.

So much effort and energy was put into our experience by the staff and we felt incredibly looked after and weren’t rushed at any point during our visit.

Additionally, on the whole the restaurant was clean and covid careful, with beautiful surroundings. They are also very child/family friendly with menu options/high chairs etc. the staff very friendly and attentive. 

The planning and organising was made effortless by the Tornacoille and we can’t wait to return for further events.

Amazing food, staff and service!

We booked this as a celebration of my husband dropping to 4 days a week,  hence a Sunday night stay. The room was comfortable and acceptable decor. Dining room looked modern and recently renovated . 
We were however disappointed by menu. We chose the hotel as it mentioned "Chef of the year, masterchef ,imaginative scottish produce " etc. We were presented with a very ordinary pub menu, nothing  fancier than a basic bistro. 
The food was ok,  dubious starters , tasty main course   pleasant dessert but some of it looked rather "commercial " rather than chef of the year quality. Service was OK but a bit offfhand.  We definitely felt like the Sunday night guests. Only 5 of us in total for dinner and actually only us for breakfast. Breakfast was delicious and pleasantly served. 

Other reviews suggest great for Sunday lunch but not gor Sunday dinner.

Resting on laurels.

Lovely staff. Booked a deluxe room for a Sunday night, unfortunately we had to ask for another room as the room allocated was not up to standard (even for a basic room this would not be acceptable). Room 12: The walls were scuffed and the decor awful, the carpet was really badly stained and not vacuumed but what tipped us over the edge was that there was somebody else's poo on the outside of the toilet!! 
They immediately moved us to one of their master suites (Room 14) which was better. It wasn't without fault by any means but it was better.
We had dinner in the restaurant, we were the only people dining as we were the hotel's only guests on that evening. The dining room is really quite nice, it looks to have been recently decorated and has nice flooring. We enjoyed the food we had. Breakfast was pretty good and the breakfast lady was lovely (Maybe a better quality sausage and poached eggs cooked for 30 seconds longer so they aren't snotty). This hotel has lovely local staff, it's a beautiful building that could be really lovely if it was better maintained (it is really in need of window refurbishment etc, but when they do get around to putting in nice flooring/carpets and redecorating everywhere it will be really very nice).

Sunday night stay

We Really enjoyed our stay here!,,,Gorgeous room, comfy bed, Great meals,,,All Good!,, We would Highly recommend the Tor-na-Ciolle,,We would Highly recommend the Beef cheeks and Monkfish,,Burger and Onion rings,,,Charlie Chaplin loved coming  here,,and we AGREE with him!  

Great Bonfire Weekend here!!

This is a lovely hotel and n a perfect location for starting a trip to the Highlands or a shortish driving ve to Balmoral.

Excellent restaurant and a short drive from Aberdeen. 

It’s not super expensive but this a special property and you will always pay for quality. 

It’s right across from the Golf Club with the River Dee flowing through. As we were attending a wedding with various before and after activities we spent 4 very comfortable nights here. 

It’s a 10 minute stroll into the pretty little town of BANCHORY.  And despite the proximity it feels like it’s quite apart.
