£3.5m price tag set as Banchory Lodge Hotel goes on the market
One of Royal Deeside's best-known hotels has gone on the market for £3.5 million as the team behind the award-winning Banchory Lodge Hotel look to step back. Carol Fowler, who led the business alongside her late business partner Wilson Anderson and others since 2012, said the time felt right to hand over the reins. The decision follows a period of growth for the business, which has a turnover of £3 million per year and hosts around 50 weddings annually. Carol admits there's a 'tinge of sadness' as she looks for new owners to take on the B-listed Georgian property. Set on 7.5 acres of landscaped grounds on the banks of the River Dee, the hotel has 28 bedrooms. The owners bought the property after a year-long negotiation before extensive refurbishment work, transforming what was then a run-down building into one of Deeside's top hospitality destinations. Carol said: 'There's a tinge of sadness. 'We've all absolutely loved the project. It's been an amazing journey and we've brought it to where we want to take it. 'It needed some love and attention and I think we have done that 'Now it's time for somebody else to develop it and grow it further. 'I'm very proud of what we have achieved.' Carol said the death of Wilson Anderson had played a part in the decision to sell. 'Wilson was such a huge part of Banchory Lodge and it's just not the same,' she said. 'He's such a miss. It made us evaluate our lives. It's been a hard decision though. We haven't done it lightly. 'There's four of us in the partnership and we're all very passionate hoteliers. 'I think we have done a great job turning it into a really exciting property.' Carol, who will continue to run her event management company, Prime Events, said there is an opportunity for the new owner to take the hotel to the next level. 'There's still plenty of room to grow,' she said. 'We'd love to see someone come in who's got the same passion for the industry and wants to keep looking after the amazing team here.' The sale of Banchory Lodge Hotel is being handled by Christie & Co. It includes the main hotel building, with public spaces including reception, bar, restaurant, private dining rooms and function suites. Outdoor dining capacity includes a lower terrace with 44 covers and the 'Sitooterie' with 50 covers and four private cabins. Exclusive-use accommodation at Cobbleheugh House is also featured, with six bedrooms and a private lounge and dining room. Agent Gary Witham says there is strong potential to further develop the hotel grounds with wellness or leisure facilities.

The colourful Welsh seaside town with a perfect castle that was never finished
The colourful Welsh seaside town with a perfect castle that was never finished This captivating seaside town has a blend of medieval, Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian architecture alongside the 'greatest castle never built.' Beautiful Beaumaris was an ancient borough, awarded its first charter in 1296. (Image: Portia Jones ) Perched along the treacherous Menai Strait, colourful Beaumaris is the historic hub of Anglesey. This captivating seaside town has a blend of medieval, Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian architecture alongside the 'greatest castle never built.' Beautiful Beaumaris was an ancient borough, awarded its first charter in 1296. Wander around, and you'll spot plenty of reminders of its past, from the impressive 13th-century castle to a courthouse that's been standing since 1614. Don't miss the Beaumaris Gaol or the Tudor Rose, a 14th-century timber-framed beauty and one of the oldest of its kind in Britain. And if you fancy a pint with a side of history, the Bulls Head Inn, built in 1472, is where General Thomas Mytton set up camp during the 1648 Siege of Beaumaris in the second English Civil War. While the town is packed with stories, there's still plenty to do here on an Anglesey holiday. Go crab fishing off the pier, take a wildlife-watching boat trip or hike along the blustery shoreline. Here's how to make the most of a trip to Beaumaris Explore the castle An aerial shot of the ancient Beaumaris castle (Image: iStock / Getty Images Plus ) Beaumaris Castle is a reminder of the ambition of English royalty seeking to subdue Wales. This commanding fortress, famous as "the greatest castle never built," was to be the crowning glory of King Edward's "Iron Ring" of mighty fortresses at Conwy, Caernarfon, Beaumaris, and Harlech. Article continues below Ruthless Edward I launched two military campaigns in Wales, in 1277 and 1282-83, aimed at defeating the Welsh princes and establishing English authority, and massive castles were a key part of the military plan. 'Beau Mareys,' meaning 'beautiful marsh,' located beside the Menai Strait, proved to be the perfect setting for a grand-scale fortress with near-perfect symmetry. Its defences were nothing short of formidable; four concentric rings encircled the stronghold, including a water-filled moat complete with its own dock, blending strength and strategic elegance. According to Cadw, a lack of money (show-off castles are quite pricey) and brewing trouble in Scotland meant that building work on the grand castle had petered out by the 1320s. The south gatehouse and the six great towers in the inner ward never reached their intended height. The Llanfaes gate was barely started before being abandoned. Today, this incomplete castle serves as a poignant reminder of Wales' tumultuous past, marked by bloody battles and Celtic defiance, all encapsulated within its imposing stone walls. Cadw now manages the site, and you can visit for just £33.60 for a family ticket. Perched along the treacherous Menai Strait, colourful Beaumaris is the historic hub of Anglesey. (Image: Portia Jones ) Go crabbing on Beaumaris Pier Nothing says 'family holiday in Wales' like crabbing off a historic pier while the wind whips around you. Beaumaris Pier was originally opened in 1846 and rebuilt in 1872, and is a favourite spot for crabbing with the kids. You can buy all your gear from the small pier Kiosk or the RNLI Lifeboat Station shop. Both locations offer crabbing nets, bait, and buckets to get you going. After crabbing, settle in on the green with fish and chips and watch out for greedy seagulls.

This protected island is a bird sanctuary and a nesting site for many species of breeding seabirds, as well as home to a resident colony of Atlantic grey seals. Want a longer trip? Book an all-day Rib Ride boat trip and explore the entire coastline of Anglesey. With its spectacular 100-mile coastline, there's no better way to uncover its dramatic beauty than on a high-speed RIB ride, skimming past rugged headlands, remote beaches, and eerie sea caves. One of the most exhilarating parts of the trip is bouncing over the Menai Strait's most notorious stretch of water—the Swellies. As you pass Telford's magnificent Menai suspension bridge, you'll be entering a treacherous body of water with rapid tidal flows and a history of shipwrecks. You'll spot plenty of wildlife on a boat trip (Image: Portia Jones ) The tide here is wild, rushing in from both ends and colliding with full force over a seabed dotted with hidden rocks. The remains of shipwrecks are a stark reminder that not everyone has made it through unscathed. As you thread your way between whirlpools and racing currents, your trusty skipper will explain how, centuries ago, tall ships had to navigate this treacherous channel with nothing but sails and oars, hoping the tide wouldn't drag them onto the rocks. You'll also explore the wizz past other coastal landmarks like South Stack Lighthouse and Ynys Llanddwyn while spotting resident seals, dolphins, and seabirds. Hike to Penmon Point Beach One of the most popular beaches in Anglesey, Penmon Point Beach, is a craggy and historic part of the Anglesey coast. (Image: Portia Jones ) One of the most popular beaches in Anglesey, Penmon Point Beach, is a craggy and historic part of the Anglesey coast. From the beach, you have epic views of the nearby Puffin Island and the Trwyn Du Lighthouse, also known as Penmon Lighthouse, which was built in 1838 to mark the north entrance to the Menai Strait. One of the best ways to explore this area is to hike to Penmon on a circular trail. The All Trails app has a 7-mile loop trail near Beaumaris that you can follow. This is a beautiful and varied trail that takes in sweeping coastal views and historic sites as you make your way past the Church of St Cawrdaf, on the road to Trwyn Dy Lighthouse, along the coast to Castell Aberlleiniog, and back to the start past Llangoed.
