Reviews and Ratings
This hotel offers rooms with two balconies, though it's not warm enough to sit on the sun lounger while the jacuzzi cleans itself. The rooms provide all required facilities and boast a modern bathroom. The service stands out with one notable staff member who excels above the rest, offering exceptional service in a professional and courteous manner alongside a lovely welcome drink. The location, while set in a very nice area, is uphill but close to a cute quaint town with local shops, the leisure centre, and the center of Ballater in the Eastern Cairngorms & Highlands. The dining experience includes Angus beef. The facilities are well-maintained. Prices and value for money vary depending on the amenities provided.
The hotel offers stunning views and nice extra touches, with very comfortable beds, but it's a bit chilly for lounging outside while the jacuzzi is being cleaned. The staff is welcoming and ready to assist, with one standout member providing exceptional service. The location, while up a steep hill, is in a lovely area. The dining experience, especially for grilled meats, is a highlight. Overall, a great value for money.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The location was superb, nestled in the forests next to Ballater, offering a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The rooms were cozy and had two balconies, perfect for enjoying the views. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly welcoming and attentive. The only downside was not having breakfast served in the restaurant, but overall, it was a delightful experience.
