Set in Ballater and with Balmoral Castle reachable within 18 km, The Green Inn Rooms offers a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. CairnGorm National Park is 47 km from the inn and Aboyne Golf Club is 19 km away.

Great property in an amazing location. The welcome glass of wine was a nice touch but the main reason I would stay again, is the service levels. The owners really went above an beyond to make sure we were happy. Will definitely recommend to a friend!

    Very warm welcome by staff on arrival. The room was very clean, bed was comfortable but the pillows for us not so good. A lovely selection of biscuits in the room with great proper coffee and teas at hand. Bathroom very clean and nice, annoyingly water pressure was terrible so taps don't work that great. Dinner was great and very accomodating for my food issues which was nice. Breakfas was a great selection and a brilliant cooked breakfast.

    Breakfast wasn't included for the price, not was fizz or dinner, rather pricey just for a dark room with poor spa facilities.

    This hotel is very charming and cosy, tucked away from the main road so it feels like being on a retreat. The house is full of antiques and old furniture, which gives it an authentic Victorian vibe. I really enjoyed staying here. It is also a short drive from the next town so you can easily get groceries, go to dinner, etc.
