We loved the house and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We arrived later than expected and there was a welcome note on the desk with the key to our room waiting. This is a very peaceful, friendly place to stay.

First of all: Thank you so much, Alison and Les and Teddy!
ad breakfast: a huge range to choice from. The omelette was just unbelievable.
ad room: lovely, comfy rooms. The bathroom had even a bath tub. I slept extremely well because there was no noise.
It felt like home.
Alison and Les are wonderful and great hosts. And Teddy, the dog, is just cute.

Ballater is a lovely little town, very close to the Balmoral Estate so excellent location if you are planning to visit the Castle and grounds of the royal estate. It has an excellent selection of restaurants, coffee shops and boutique / gift shops to choose from. Free parking in most places and some lovely walks that are all clearly marked that follow the river and circulate the town.DavidUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
Ballater is a beautiful historic town.
Ballater is a beautiful historic town. It has lovely architecture, a Victorian train station where Queen Victoria used to travel to. Lots of restaurants, pubs, and the townspeople are very nice. It's close to Balmoral and was a perfect location to drive around and see the sites.

Quaint little village with just enough amenities with plenty of activities in and around the place. There's a coop shop for groceries, and some nice restaurant choices too. There's a small petrol station here as well so it's useful for fuelling up if you plan to drive any great distance. I'd happily come back here, but it's a small place so it's limited in some ways if you plan to stay for any great length of time. We ate from two restaurants here, the New Shanghai Chinese takeaway, and the Alexandra Hotel restaurant. Both were very satisfying meals and good value for money, and I'd happily come back to both. The village is fairly small, so it's very walkable if you want to mill around and explore the pubs, shops and cafes.AndrewUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
Lovely picturesque village in Royal Deeside.
Lovely picturesque village in Royal Deeside. Shop fronts, the streets and the buildings are immaculately kept. Has many great places to eat and drink. Great walk along the old Deeside railway line. I went on a drench November midweek day, so there wasn't a lot happening, but the surroundings are nice. Fantastic place for solo travellers, couples and people who like the great outdoors.DavidUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

Ballater is a fantastic area, such beautiful surroundings with lots to do. Lots of walking and cycling options. The town itself has beautiful buildings and architecture. I love the area so much, I'm looking to buy a property and move there permanently.

- Avg. price/night: € 133.698.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 365 reviewsIt was our privilege to arrive on the first day Cath and her nephew Shamus took possession of the B&B. The house suited us perfectly as it was, but the new owners hit the ground running with plans for renovations and extending the accommodations to build yurts for walkers on the adjacent property. Cath and Shamus’ enthusiasm and kindness was boundless. We wish them every success. The location was perfect for walking in Cairngorms, and a skip and hop from the fascinating Muir of Dinnet.
sandraYoung couple - Avg. price/night: € 167.778.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 1,262 reviewsI stayed in a beautiful single room, the bed was big enough for two and it was exceptionally clean. The hosts are lovely, all areas of the hotel have a lovely feel to them with log fires and fabulous decor. Being dog friendly, there’s really nice wooded areas to wander with them, or sit outside and listen to the birds. I loved the old guest book from 1935 still being used for new entries too.

The place is immaculate, the accomodations and furnishings are beyond exceptional, in a very quiet area but close walk to everything. There is an outdoor patio to relax and enjoy, too. Phil is a character and made us feel right at home and was so helpful with suggestions of what to do. We highly recommend it!MillerFamily with young children
