We booked in last minute as our boiler had broken down leaving us with no heating or hot water. The staff were so welcoming and upgraded us to a suite so that we could enjoy a cosy night. The roll top bath and walk-in shower were very much appreciated.

A wonderful and cozy hotel to stay at
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.
