If you are looking for a location...You've found the right place! Located in arguably the best location in Ballater, directly on The River Dee, The Monaltrie is a beautiful historic building that offers everything you'd need right on your door step. If you are coming into town for fishing...You barely even need to leave the property...Hiking and mountain biking? Welcome to Paradise! An abundance of natural light flows into this home and the views from some of the windows are breathtaking!!
Having been a Guest Services Manager on Cruise Ships for over 10 years, I understand what “customer service” means. I always aim to go above and beyond and strive for excellence in everything I do. We pride ourselves on being available to us whenever you need it. However (with the greatest due-respect) we hope we never hear from you - other than when it's leaving a five-star review on how much you enjoyed your stay. To try and minimize any hassle and inconvenience for you we have made each of our properties "wireless" and user friendly. Eliminating the chance of lost keys and dodgy locks. In the off-chance that you do need us, you can email or contact us through the app any time of the day or night and we will respond ASAP!!
Walking trails, hiking, golf, mountain biking, skiing, and other outdoor activities are all on your doorstep when you stay at The Monaltrie. If you want to visit the Queen...Balmoral Estates is 5 minutes away and Balmoral Castle (where the Royal family stays) is only 15 minutes' drive by car. Make sure to check out the Old Railway Station...It might surprise you. Also close by is the Historic Town of Braemar. Depending on the time of year you are visiting. The Lecht and Glenshee Ski Center is only a stone's throw away making The Monaltrie the perfect location for your stay regardless of its purpose. The easiest way to get in and around Ballater is by car, but many people like to walk and cycle through also. We also have an hourly bus service that comes through the village linking Ballater with Perth and Aberdeen. Once you have arrived there are two bike shops, guided walks, and even a walk with a shetland pony!
