We had a wonderful stay in Ballater. The hotel was quaint, comfortable, exceptionally clean, and wonderfully quiet — exactly what we were looking for. Having the bar and restaurant conveniently on site made everything so easy, and both dinner and breakfast were absolutely outstanding. The owners and staff were incredibly warm, personable, and welcoming throughout our stay. The food and drinks were a definite 10/10. With its convenient location and excellent hospitality, we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.
