Ballater Hotel Guide - Hotels with Restaurant in Ballater, Scotland

"Excellent hotel room was lovely and spotless clean. Surprised we had a toaster, microwave, cutlery & crockery. Staff were really friendly. We certainly will come back as we didn’t have much time to use the pool and other facilities "

"Fabulous place in a beautiful setting. Staff were very welcoming, helpful and attentive. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable with excellent storage and a lovely en-suite shower room. We were fortunate that the weather was good enough that the walk from the room (a Woodland lodge) to the hotel for meals was pleasant but an umbrella as provided jut in case! We enjoyed using the pool and thermal suite which was never busy. The food was excellent and there was lots of choice at breakfast."

"Room full of dust. Toilet dirty. Complained re this. When we went back to the room toilet still dirty. Went to the reception and got cleaning products an cleaned it ourselves. "

"It took 45 mins to check in as the reception staff kept checking in bus tours instead of dealing with people in a first come first served basis. Very poor service. I won’t be staying here again"

"Very pleasant"

"First too was far too small, asked for upgrade and initially told it would cost £300 so refused. Next day offered bigger room for £120 and took it due to the room size and wardrobe to fit our clothes away. Meals at Breakfast were adequate, dinner menu could be improved by more choice. Sunday roast and Fish/Chips were ace but Steak Pie was not."

"Wonderful hotel close to the town. Short drive to a famous chocolate shop. A very lovely stay."

"Dinner and breakfast were tasty. Had a delicious Blackberry Martini with dinner. Walked around village , very friendly people and staff was friendly. Very close to Balmoral Castle. "

"Lovely location and beautiful room with modern appointments and quality tea/ coffee/ toiletries etc. Convenient location for the highlands with things to see and do from the doorstep. The only let down was the breakfast which took almost an hour to arrive after ordering, which sadly took the shine off an otherwise excellent stay. However, the management were very apologetic, so it would appear we were just unlucky on that occasion."
