Find 4 Star Hotels in Strathdon from SAR 178

"We really enjoyed our stay here!! It's a very cute hotel. Some highlights are the decorations throughout the whole hotel (rooms included) and the communal den area that had space for many people to sit around and enjoy the space. Another highlight was the bar - the bartender who was serving when we were there mid-October was kind and knowledgeable - he made our stay at the hotel even more amazing with his service! The town of Ballater is easily walkable - we had dinner out at a local bar and enjoyed walking around the main street. We chose this spot as it was close to Balmoral Castle, which is where we were going the next day on our drive up from Edinburgh! I'd highly recommend staying here. "

"Will be back soon "

"Overall a very comfortable experience. This is the second time we stayed in Macdonald's hotel, opted for half board and loved our meals everynight. Breakfast was great, would be nice to have meatfree options for vegetarians, even if not in buffet but can offer to prepare it if requested, still loved scones and beans and pancakes, kind and caring staff."

"Beautiful hotel! We were a bit worried when arriving with our 2 year old that it might not be child friendly as it was clearly a beautiful building, but the staff were absolutely lovely with her and very happy to provide what we needed. We had a lovely stay and would definitely come back. Highly recommended."

"In the heart of Speyside and a short drive from multiple renowned distilleries, there is no better place to stay if you are on a whiskey tour with friends. Everything from the whiskey bar to the breakfast were excellent and we would definitely visit againz"
