Beautiful setting — very peaceful with a wonderful short hike through gorgeous flowers in the woods (flowers in May). Very old but charming building. Owner was very nice. Nice patio overlooking front yard. Room was small but comfy. Very relaxing. Breakfast was good.

The pod was perfect, with an incredible view. There are even campfire packages available, which is very convenient for travelers. The facilities were very clean as was the pod.

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.

- From RUB 20,476 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 1,295 reviewsBeautiful (dog friendly) hotel run by a lovely couple. Very friendly and accommodating. Staff great. Very clean and comfortable. They are hoping to employ a chef soon so breakfast was continental and plenty of choice but sadly no dinner available at night-however they were happy for us to take food in and gave us plates and cutlery! Lovely walks in the surrounding area for our dog and in the grounds of the hotel too. Enjoyed sitting by an open fire with a couple of pints after dinner. Looking forward to pur next visit already!LeanneUnited Kingdom
- 8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 375 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.sandraUnited States

BeatSwitzerland - From RUB 20,988 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 1,517 reviewsStaff were really accommodating and changed rooms for us to a refurbished part of the building. It was the equivalent to changing hotels. From a tired room that consisted of tired bathroom, and one plug socket to share to a modern upbeat room. Be aware that a non refurbished room is very expensive for what you get. Location for both Ballater and the surrounding Cairngorms especially Balmoral is second to none.AAnonymousUnited Kingdom
