The guest house has a lovely feel that I’m sure tourists to the area will be very appreciative of. It’s tartan and shortbread, well mums cake anyway which was magnificent!

First of all: Thank you so much, Alison and Les and Teddy!
ad breakfast: a huge range to choice from. The omelette was just unbelievable.
ad room: lovely, comfy rooms. The bathroom had even a bath tub. I slept extremely well because there was no noise.
It felt like home.
Alison and Les are wonderful and great hosts. And Teddy, the dog, is just cute.

We just loved everything! A beautiful place to enjoy the nature (the view to the mountains, watching wild rabbits, birds etc.) after an active hiking day. The room was just perfect. The best breakfast in the UK! The hosts are very friendly and genuinely nice people. We would love to come back soon.

we were upgraded to a suite because our room wasn't ready at check in. The suite was therefore better than we expected & was excellent value for money. The breakfast was very good, hot and served quickly

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ballater is a fantastic area, such beautiful surroundings with lots to do. Lots of walking and cycling options.
The town itself has beautiful buildings and architecture.
I love the area so much, I'm looking to buy a property and move there permanently.
Quiet and beautiful location but minutes from the quaint village of Ballater in Cairngorms NP. Martyn and Louise could not have been more welcoming. Our room was very spacious with a comfortable bed, a separate seating area, and all of the amenities, including plenty of power outlets throughout the room. Our accommodations included a private patio area and a very large bathroom. The welcoming treats and gourmet breakfast which included homemade baked goods were standouts in an exceptional stay at Craggan.
Great hosts, made us feel at home immediately, very welcoming and helpful. High quality accommodation, lovely room with comfortable bed and quality furnishings. Delicious breakfast freshly prepared each day. Great location about one mile from Ballater in peaceful surroundings with great views. Also handy for visiting Balmoral. Would definitely stay here again if visiting the area and would not hesitate to recommend to others.
Lovely little cabin. The bed was ridiculously comfortable, and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. The location is great, close to Ballater and Braemar within driving distance. We used the tub, and it was a real experience!
Very peaceful stay and glad to be able to bring our dog with us. Have recommended to friends.
I liked everything about my stay. The area, the views, the hotel, the staff etc. It's great that the hotel is dog friendly.
I have stayed at the Cambus O May before, and couldn't wait to return. It's such a peaceful and beautiful place. I feel fully relaxed, and wish I could have stayed longer, and so does my dog.
Loved the small hotel vibes of the Alexandra hotel. On top of a great location, rooms were super comfy and extremely clean, staff were lovely, breakfast superb and their bar serves delicious pub meals (their cheesecake is so tasty).
This hotel is located in great spot for the Deeside old railway cycling route and not far from Ballatar. Many walks are located nearby.
It has beautiful grounds and confortable rooms.
Staff was very helpful and welcoming
location was wonderful. Breakfast was good with the best coffee I’ve had in 4 days of being in Scotland. Shower water pressure was fantastic. The hosts were both just lovely and helpful.
Nice bar, decent modern rooms for an old hotel. Despite many shortcomings, it was acceptable and probably as good as it gets in Ballater. Venison pie was best meal I’ve ever eaten.
Excellent location within walking distance of beautiful Ballater centre. Nicely furnished, clean and comfortable. Private patio area in the sun. Friendly greeting on our arrival.
Location was perfect for Ballater and plenty of parking. Very quiet location. Plenty of good quality pubs, restaurants and coffee shops near by. Also close to very good walks.
Never been in a hotel so clean! Lovely and very modern. Natali and Toni were fabulous hosts. Breakfast was excellent. Very well located for a short walk into Ballater.
Great place to stay in the Ballater area. Under new ownership who have plans for the property. The owners are delightful and extremely helpful. Lovely breakfast!!
Perfect location to explore the town & surrounding area. Room and bathroom were a good size and definitely met my needs. Staff were very friendly and sociable.
