The general ambience and atmosphere. The food was good and the bar had a good choice of beers. The person who checked me in was helpful in that he locked my bike securely in the cellar.

A wonderful and cozy place to stay in Balleter. The host was friendly and briefed us on the do's n don't while staying there. The room was neat and clean. We appreciated very much the welcome pack of cookies and the taste of local whiskey. Breakfast was fantastic and cooked as requested from the menu. A good variety! Checking in and out was easy at the reception. A close walk to the town center.

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.

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.

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.

Ballater is a fantastic area, such beautiful surroundings...
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.
The cottage was charming, beautifully clean and in a great location. Things were clearly marked. We used the bed settee, which was easy to put together and surprisingly comfortable. We enjoyed the Trivial Pursuit, published before the year 2000, so really out of date! 😂🤣
My daughter really enjoyed using the coffee machine too!
It goes without saying that the area is absolutely stunning. I was brought up in Banchory, so it is home to me. The drive from Ballater to Banchory and then across to Stonehaven is breathtaking!
Staying at Craggan was a wonderful introduction to Scotland. Our hosts, Martyn and Louise Barrow, were warm and welcoming. They were very helpful and informative regarding the region....sites, activities, and regional lore.
The breakfasts were delicious, and our room was spacious and beautifully appointed. The view was pastoral. It was peaceful and restorative.
Thank you, dear hosts, for providing the best experience.
After an initial misunderstanding about the car park which has been converted to an outdoor bar area, the owner was very helpful in making space for my motorcycle at the front of the hotel.
Great food, lovely ale, very nice lounge bar. Very pleasant staff. Lovely breakfast and restaurant area.
The location was great for my trip although due to bad weather I didn't really explore Ballater itself on foot.
Ballater is a lovely place, and this cottage is in a peaceful location. There is also plenty of parking on the large drive.
The cottage makes a great base from which to explore the local area. The cottage is spacious, and we loved that dogs are welcome. We would highly recommend a meal at the Fish Shop, which was recently opened by Queen Camilla and is fantastic.
Lovely, quirky, very clean and cosy in a lovely spot.
Had fun lighting the stove, learning how to make proper coffee and hot tub. Hosts were quick to answer any queries pre arrival and were on hand during our stay. Walked round nearby loch Muick one day - stunning. Ballater is a lovely wee village with lots of walks, excellent Bakery and Indian restuarant.
A good-sized bedroom and bathroom, and the property was well located for our purposes. A good breakfast, with a conveniently early option, which suited us as we were running a race beginning in Braemar, and had to be there quite early.
We drove the couple of miles to Ballater in the evening for food, and there were lots of eating options there.
The breakfast was lovely and served hot at our requested time.
What a great couple who run this place! They went out of their way to give us information about the area and accommodate my food allergies!!! I would highly recommend this spot if you are visiting Balmoral Castle and the area!!!
The location was so good in the heart of Ballater. The parking was easy with a large carpark just over the road and a Co-op nearby to purchase breakfast items. The rooms are above a lovely Italian restaurant which welcomed us each night we were there . Lovely warm service and good food.
Cosy room with comfy bed, good shower and a delicious breakfast. If you fancy dinner the steak & ale pie is outstanding! Great little town with interesting shops & stunning hiking nearby. Many attractions nearby from art galleries to superb local restaurants.
A lovely, remodelled building in central Ballater. Lynn and Steve were excellent hosts. The rooms were the perfect size for our needs and the facilities were clean and comfortable. A great breakfast to get started in the morning.
The location was great. Very handy for cafes/ shops. Lovely location beside river. Private parking. Dog friendly which was important to us. The apartment was very comfortable and provided everything we needed. Would recommend!
Beautiful Victorian Mansion a few miles from Ballater. Comfortable rooms with good wifi.
