Absolutely loved my stay — it completely exceeded my expectations. I was in town for a wedding and found this place to be the perfect peaceful retreat. My twin room was cosy, spotless, and had a lovely view. Although the bathroom was just down the hall, it was pristine and featured a gorgeous roll-top bath. Tony and Natalie were incredibly warm and helpful — you can really feel how much they care. The cooked breakfast each morning was a real highlight. A fantastic base for exploring the area!

    Lovely converted old building forming a small but well equipped two person ‘granny flat’. Very quiet peaceful location within easy walking distance to Ballater centre, nice secluded outdoor seating area. Nice homely touches to the decor made it feel very welcoming. Look forward to a return visit soon!

    We loved our stay at this hotel - the family who runs it were such lovely hosts, the property is in a fabulous setting, the room was gorgeous, the bed very comfy and the place furnished beautifully with antiques in keeping with the building. We found our stay deeply restorative, and would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a relaxed stay in a lovely part of the world. Also very family-friendly!
