From
United KingdomCosy and as advertised. it was clean and well furnished with everything you could possibly need for a stay. Easy to locate, and a great base for exploring the surrounding area. Great for stargazing and just to disconnect and relax in a quiet place. Everything seems handcrafted which is very twee and nice in this day and age.

Larry
From
United StatesThis is a great independent hostel, warmly welcoming, cozy, and comfortable. We stayed in a six bed dorm, which had an attached toilet and shower, while we attended the Braemar Highland Games. You can trave by bus from Ballater to Braemer but be sure to get the early bus.

My stay was helped by the fabulous weather but even if it rained, I am sure it wouldn't change my opinion of the area. Lots of history in the area worth seeing. There is a lot to do in the area, you wouldn't ever be bored.Guest review byClaireUnited Kingdom - Review score

Ballater is a truly lovely wee village albeit we went in February and most shops were closed. Balmoral Castle was closed and a lot of shops and cafes in Braemar were closed too. Surrounding countryside is speactacularly beautiful.Guest review byJohnUnited Kingdom - Review score
Lovely little town with many eateries and a couple of bars.
Lovely little town with many eateries and a couple of bars. Loved The Balmoral Bar and visited here several times for food & drinks. We ate a meal at Lochnagar Indian, very good food and excellent service. Large Co-op in town centre with anything you could need while visiting. Plenty coffee shops to choose from, we tried Brown Sugar Coffee Shop, excellent service and lovely coffee & cakes. We took a circular walk to Cambus O May suspension bridge, passing by the Cambus O May Cheese Shop & Cafe for lunch - amazing toasties! Drove to Burn O Vat and loved clambering up the waterfall side to the top, followed by a great lunch at The Boat Inn in Alford. There was so much more to explore and we will definitely return.Guest review byMargaretUnited Kingdom - Review score

Great place to visit, ample shops for food, with may different tourist shops. Good choice of excellent coffee shops, bars and restaurants, to meet all budgets. One of our regular day trip destinations, but stayed for three nights to do local walks, enjoy the restaurants and the surrounding scenery. The Royals connection makes it interesting to buy from the King's local butcher, pharmacy and bakery all with Royal Warrants Displayed. Very friendly people. Ample free parking. Can recommend the Balmoral Bar, The Fish Shop (restaurant).Guest review byBrianUnited Kingdom - Review score

Such a lovely town nestled in the most beautiful mountains and scenery of Royal Deeside. Local walks are amazing. The town centre boasts many places to eat, independent shops, cafes and amenities. Close to Glenshee for the ski-ing season and summer Highland Games Ballater offers a relaxing stay for any tourist wishing to experience the outdoors, quiet stay or base to visit surrounding Aberdeenshire areas.Guest review byFionaUnited Kingdom - Review score

- Review scoreExceptional · 19 reviewsLovely little place with high-quality furnishings. Just a short walk from the middle of Ballater but feels quiet and peaceful. The lounge/dining room catches the late afternoon sun and has a view up to the oak woods of Craigendarroch hill. It's quite a small place (the reasonable price reflects this - it's in a 'premium' part of the Highlands) but the quality of the armchair, sofa and dining chairs would put many a grand country hotel to shame and made for a relaxing and memorable stay.Guest review byDerekUnited Kingdom
- From $285.21 per nightReview scoreVery Good · 1,575 reviewsNice bar, decent modern rooms for an old hotel. Despite many shortcomings, it was acceptable and probably as good as it gets in Ballater. Venison pie was best meal I’ve ever eaten.Guest review byPaulUnited Kingdom
