Well positioned for our purpose.
Bedroom onto Main Street was noisy .
Very surprised that the owners couldn’t give us ice for our in room drink, nor could they give us two larger glasses than the in room glasses provided.
Shower in Room 5 was needing to be upgraded.

This very cozy B&B is well-maintained with friendly owners. The third (real) bed was appreciated by our adult daughter. Breakfast was delicious. There were lots of books and games for rainy days. Parking was close and free. Would definitely book again.

This is the place to stay in the area. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we we treated so well. Beth is a fantastic hostess who couldn't do enough for us. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast is amazing, so much choice and locally sourced ingredients, cannot be faulted! The location is superb as we went to visit Balmoral.
Beth kindly offered us a piece of her mother in law's lemon cake. If you visit make sure you ask for a piece, it is exquisite!
That we hadn't booked in for longer!

Both Beth and Simon go above and beyond to make you feel at home. They were kind and helpful and always happy to chat or offer tips and advice on the local area. They clearly love and respect the nature the live amongst and are doing all they can to be eco-friendly and thoughtful about how they work as a business. So brilliant to see and be able to support!

This is an absolutely hidden gem and the most welcoming and well equipped accommodation we stayed in during our recent break, travelling around Scotland. The location is idea, in a lovely village and Steven and Beth are top drawer hosts. The rooms are wonderful and the breakfast was superb. We will certainly go back and would recommend this guest house without hesitation.

Our stay at The Gordon Guest House was perfect! We got an upgrade to suite room which offered us an amazing view of the mountain in the morning. The suite room had luxurious jacuzzi and a very big bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and the room was set at a cozy temperature. We felt very welcome. The breakfast was made as per choice. It was prepared by the hosts themselves. The delicious breakfast made our morning and we had a very good start of the day, enroute to starting our NC500 journey. Beth and Steve are great hosts and we had a very engaging conversation on topics such as Indian music, Scottish Highland life. We would definitely come back again if we visit Ballater. Highly recommended!
