Hotel was nice, however rooms quite small. Great food though and the breakfast was very good indeed. At the price I reckon you could get better value elsewhere in the town. My only issue with this nice establishment.

If you are looking for a nice calm place with lovely and friendly staff with high compliance and very good food this is the hotel you must stay in. I was there for one week fishing salmon at Dee without luck (because of river flood). The restaurant is cosy with a nice view to some old trees, a garden and... More

We had a 2 night stay in late March. The weather was dreadful - persistent snow and freezing temperatures - but the warmth of welcome at the hotel more than made up for it. Food was excellent - breakfasts, lunch and dinners! The staff were most efficient and friendly - interested in us, our visit and so on. Bedroom was... More

We (two couples) stayed here last summer. It was our favorite hotel in Scotland. The staff were very welcoming and the food was excellent. We had dinner there both nights and loved it. Get their sticky toffee pudding. The hotel is in Ballater which is contains castles, small villages, beautiful scenery, a Scotch distillery, and great walks. Just remember there... More

Very welcoming and courteous staff. Food was of a high standard and served elegantly. Views from bedroom and dining room really lovely. Hotel is in a quiet side street, but easily walkable to the town centre. Many longer walks available, some of which we managed in deep snow!

A lovely friendly family run hotel Great staff who are very welcoming & helpful The hotel is very close to the centre of Ballater village & borders the golf course We only stayed one night but had a wonderful evening meal & fantastic breakfast Will return

Great public area felt cosy and welcoming. Room fine if a little dated, was a cold night and the heater needed switched on for a while before it was warm. Great dinner clearly made with care and fresh ingredients. Friendly service and enjoyable local ales. Will return.

Stayed here for fifth time on business , the owners are lovely and friendly and the staff can never do enough for us. Stayed in main building room three which was large with decent sized bed and bathroom ! The food was as it always is which is excellent (especially the steak and pepper sauce!). The hotel has some cabin... More

This hotel was in a great location and had great staff, food too was of a high standard. Dinner was a bit expensive at £25 for 2 courses but was of good quality and had good portions. Breakfast too was excellent and tea and coffee was available in your room. Rooms need updated and were a bit cold but otherwise... More
