Places to Stay in Aberdeenshire with a Hot Tub

Whether you've spent the day walking the forest tracks of Royal Deeside or simply pottering round Ballater and Banchory, there's no better way to end it than a long soak outside. Climb in as the light fades, watch the trees turn dark, and settle back under a big Aberdeenshire sky. On a clear night you'll have the stars to yourself.

We've picked out our favourite places to stay in Aberdeenshire with a hot tub. There's a Victorian lodge on the banks of the River Dye and a cottage looking over the same river, both with a sauna to book on the estate. On the edge of the forest, an ancient stone house that was an inn for centuries has a wood-fired sauna as well as a tub. For a big gathering, there's a hunting lodge from 1746 beside the River Gairn, with a sauna and an outdoor hot tub. Several welcome dogs too.
