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

- From $141.50 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 355 reviewsThe location is ideal for visiting Ballater and Balmoral. Parking is easy. We were welcomed by a very helpful man who was able to recommend some eating places in Ballater which we have enjoyed the evening meal at Alexandra Hotel. Also he was able to provide us his ironing board to borrow. The breakfast was quite good and the best thing was that it was nice to watch the red squirrels at the bird feeding station!
ColinUnited Kingdom - 8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 365 reviewsWe used Celicall as our base to walk in the Ballater and Braemar area, and its location was perfect. Across the street from the Ballater tourist office and within easy walking distance of restaurants and shops, Celicall was a comfortable B&B. The hosts are friendly and helpful. Our room was quiet and peaceful at night, and we slept well.

The room was smaller than I recall when I booked it, but adequate for our family of 3. Bathroom was spacious.
