Very nice operator/owner who has done a great job of renovating this property to very high standards. The breakfast is fabulous. As this property is a little out of town one must have transportation, but it’s close to town so returning there for suppers etc is easy 😎

Fabulous place- great beds, breakfast and facilities. Wonderful location, central but not right in the middle of things so it was very quiet. Hosts were fantastic! Would definitely stay here again if we get back to Ballater.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Celicall. We had a wedding at Mar Lodge and the location was ideal to travel to it. The room was very clean, comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. The couple were very friendly and helpful as I had forgotten my hairdryer and the landlady offered the use of one. The landlady gave us comprehensive information about the area and the restaurants. Would certainly recommend for a relaxing stay.
