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.

A wonderful and cozy place to stay in Balleter. The host was friendly and briefed us on the do's n don't while staying there. The room was neat and clean. We appreciated very much the welcome pack of cookies and the taste of local whiskey. Breakfast was fantastic and cooked as requested from the menu. A good variety! Checking in and out was easy at the reception. A close walk to the town center.

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.KathrynUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0
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

- 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 339 reviewsMy hosts, Tony and Natalie recently remodeled their property. Everything is new. My room was spacious and very comfortable. I don't eat breakfast, but Natalie prepared some of the best coffee I've had in Scotland! Tony was very helpful with restaurant recommendations. Both were lovely and totally focused on my having a wonderful experience at their property. It is ideally located just a short walk from the city center and all the restaurants and shops. Highly recommend this to travelers in this area.
StephenUnited States of America - 8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 425 reviewsLovely B&B, parking onsite. Clean and comfortable room. Lovely host who gave us all the history of the area and the town of Ballater. Balmoral Castle is not far away, and she told us many stories of the Royal family that don’t make the papers or headlines. Drove into the very pretty town of Ballater for dinner and a walk around as it was still daylight until 9 pm at night, which was lovely. The B&B is up for sale, so not sure if the same hosts will still be there for much longer.CherylAustralia
