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.

Clive
United Kingdom
Comfortable, well-appointed room which was quiet despite being adjacent to the main road into the town. The owners and their staff know their business very well, and work hard to present a very high standard (e.g., great breakfasts!). The building is a converted church, and retains some characterful features from its previous use. Location is a short walk to the bars and restaurants in the town.

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...
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

- From $201.26 per night9.9Scored 9.9ExceptionalRated exceptional· 134 reviewsQuiet and beautiful location but minutes from the quaint village of Ballater in Cairngorms NP. Martyn and Louise could not have been more welcoming. Our room was very spacious with a comfortable bed, a separate seating area, and all of the amenities, including plenty of power outlets throughout the room. Our accommodations included a private patio area and a very large bathroom. The welcoming treats and gourmet breakfast which included homemade baked goods were standouts in an exceptional stay at Craggan.
WhinnaUnited States of America - 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 68 reviewsOur stay at Hillside was exceptional! The place is immaculate, the accomodations and furnishings are beyond exceptional, in a very quiet area but close walk to everything. There is an outdoor patio to relax and enjoy, too. Phil is a character and made us feel right at home and was so helpful with suggestions of what to do. We highly recommend it!MillerUnited States of America

Felt secluded and private despite proximity to other pods. Great to have some board games and plenty of resources for exploring the area. Lovely location. Great value.

Food was very good (new chef: doing great!) When we first drove up I said I wanted to live there, and I still do, lol. It's just really well done and feels elegant but welcoming.
JoyceUnited States of America - 8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 1,241 reviewsLovely old hunting lodge which has been tastefully modernised while keeping lots of old quirky features. The grounds of the hotel were stunning and there's lots of scenic places to walk nearby. We ate dinner in the hotel twice. The menu was quite small but the food was really nice. Our room was nice and cosy.
