"Lovely atmosphere, the hotel has been very stylishly decorated with a mixture of periods of furniture. The staff were all very welcoming and made us feel very relaxed as soon as we arrived. The head waiter is a fantastic character and was kind enough to give my wife a rose when we sat down for an amazing dinner. He also seated us for breakfast and was very friendly and helpful. All in all a wonderful weekend away and we are both considering a trip back in the summer to enjoy the outside eating and the use of the verander with the room. "

"If you are looking for peace, quiet and the experience of remote living in Scotland the White House is just perfect. Car necessary as it’s a 25 min drive to nearest town with facilities. We had hired cars which was just as well as there was no way our own cars could have coped with the terrain and the snowy weather. We arrived at 5pm - really dark outside so we couldn’t find house at first. Host answered phone immediately and gave us instructions. The house is at the end of a track which is quite bumpy and pot holed. The house is large and comfortable. It is quite old fashioned. It has lovely grounds and the views from the windows are gorgeous. There were 7 in our family staying but plenty of space for us all. The 4 bedrooms were basic but comfy beds. You cannot use the central heating but the host had left some portable radiators for each of the rooms. We were a bit a cold at times especially at this time of year (January). The kitchen is excellent - very well stocked with utensils etc so we had some great dinners cooked. There is no WiFi and the TV only works if you have data yourself. To be honest we did not miss watching TV and just played music through the Bluetooth speaker the host had left. There were lots of games too so we had fun going through these too. We went out for dinner the first night to Ballater and the drive back was a bit scary going up the hills in the dark. Many lovely places to explore in surrounding area on foot or by car. "

"Fantastic stay over the Hogmanay period. Beautiful room and friendly staff"
