About this property
Balmedie 2 miles. The minute guests see Chance Inn Lodge they will be immediately impressed. It is a modern stylish house with exceptional kerb appeal and character. Designed with great attention to detail this house has a definite 'wow' factor. With the carefully planned and spacious accommodation set out mainly over the ground floor with a mezzanine seating area and ground floor bedrooms. All bedrooms benefit from smart en-suites, TV/DVDs and double doors leading out onto individual patios and guests will enjoy the privacy that this affords. Also at ground floor level is the sociable open plan living space with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and sitting area all benefitting from a cosy woodburning stove.
The big gable end windows provide fabulous countryside and sea views from both the ground floor and mezzanine levels. On the upper floor is the sitting room where the views are enhanced by the double aspect and this space is undoubtedly where guests will be able to relax after an active day. A large garden area surrounds the lodge and guests will appreciate sitting outside on pleasant days soaking up the lovely views and perhaps sipping a pre-dinner glass of wine. The area is bursting with places to visit and things to do and one of the newest and most famous of all visitor attractions in this area is the Trump International Golf Links, just a mile away from the lodge, where visitors can enjoy the driving range, one of the largest in the country or perhaps try your hand on the putting green.
Whether its golf, fishing, whisky tasting or simply enjoying the beach and countryside this lodge will ensure a fabulous and unforgettable holiday for all. EPC Rating: Band C
This village is situated to the north of the city of Aberdeen and hugs the shoreline of the North Sea. With its beach and pretty sand dunes the area is very popular with visitors and wildlife spotters. The village itself has good local facilities with a small supermarket and selection of shops. The Balmedie Beach & Country Park is open all the year round and provides a children's play area and picnic areas along with the wide and very clean beach.

However, this time, the downstairs underfloor heating did not seem to operate efficiently as per the provided instructions/controls so it was always a bit chilly and guests would need to take own fuel for using wood burning stove. Upstairs was cosy due to radiators but the boiler was a bit noisy in the far double and twin bedrooms. Place mats for glass dining table, more than 1 tea towel, enough dishwasher tabs, more toilet tissue and some washing machine tabs should be provided by host to improve overall guest experience.
