Balmoral Arms is situated in village of Ballater, in the centre of Royal Deeside. The property offers open log fires and free WiFi.

Each room at Balmoral Arms a flat-screen TV and tea/coffee making facilities.

The hotel was amazing! We had a beautiful room with an old bathtub, the interior looked amazing. Try the dinner there, it was really delicious. The breakfast was good as well and the staff was really friendly. Unfortunately we were only there for one night, would have liked to stay longer. In my opinion it was one of the best hotels that we had during our Scotland road trip. So I can definitely recommend it!

The rooms had a generous size and they were very clean. Great English breakfast with lots of options. Really worth the price.

    Great location, just a short walk from the Cambus O'May footbridge. Good cheese board and a fine pint of Belhaven Best. I had a lovely, cozy single room with a decent view, a comfy bed and a wonderful rain shower (once I worked out the taps!) Breakfast was continental, with a wide choice of breads, cereals, juices and some fresh fruit. The coffee machine worked very well. Also a red squirrel hopped across the gravel outside the dining room window.
