A Highland Gem
Gorgeous hotel in the centre of Ballater. Only 9 miles from Balmoral Castle, Crathie Kirk and various walks. Staff are so welcoming and accomodating. Tasteful Scottish decor with a modern twist. Beautifully decorated rooms, quiet location ensures peaceful sleep. Delicious, quality meals and breakfast. Atmospheric "Ghillies" bar, live fiddle music. We will definitely be back.

Lovely country hotel
Greeted by a friendly receptionist who advised us that we’d given an upgrade which was a lovely surprise. Room was traditional with a modern twist and bathroom was spacious with a large free-standing bath. Breakfast was served at a leisurely pace with a wide menu and table service for hot food. There was also a lovely lounge area with an open fire which was very welcoming.

We booked in last minute as our boiler had broken down leaving us with no heating or hot water. The staff were so welcoming and upgraded us to a suite so that we could enjoy a cosy night. The roll top bath and walk-in shower were very much appreciated.
