Great location and room was lovely.
Heating did not work properly. We emailed the owner, then phoned and left a voicemail, but received no response whatsoever and no one came to fix it. No owner/staff on site. Not ideal when travelling with two young children.

Room was good for a single traveller. Warm and the bed was comfortable, coffee maker was good. Situated in the town with a couple minutes to all shops and bars
Room 3 shower was not very powerful, acceptable but not great. Little bit of external noise from the pub courtyard outside the window, but not enough to bea major problem

Bathroom smelled strongly of sewerage and smelled into the bedroom and flush on the toilet was faulty

Brilliant staff, helpful and friendly welcome. Bed was so comfortable facilities in the room were excellent, so quiet and no noise through the night. Love this place and would highly recommend.
Being picky, the shower cubicle is a bit small.
There's no food option, BUT this isn't a problem for us as we had dinner elsewhere and breakfast on the go.

Communication with the host was excellent, we had all the information to locate, park and enter the property well in advance and the host reached out to give us contact information should we need it. Great location too. Very well equipped room, had everything you could need. I was very impressed to see long life oat milk as well as ordinary milk. Very welcome

Comfortable rooms, everything was clean, we had a microwave, refrigerator and french press/ tea with treats in our room. The beds were cozy and the decoration was beautiful, too.

Room was very small, no outlook. Difficult stairs for people like us with disabilities.
Not pleasant.Very small for the price we paid.

Lovely location. Very nice and comfortable room with a view of the park.
I prefer to check in and out with people instead of using a lock box, but perhaps that makes me old-fashioned.

Sadly, there were several reasons why I would not stay here again as a solo traveller. Firstly, the king-sized bed was too big for the room, leaving little space to move around. The fridge wasn't cold enough, and the coffee was awful. The room was way too hot, so the window had to be opened. Not great because the room backed on to a restaurant kitchen and live music blasted from the nearby bar, and the noise from revellers went on until after midnight. Before 9 am the next morning, bottles were recycled, making an incredible noise. And to top it off, pillowcases were stained. I paid £170 and used credits I had gained to part-pay for the room. I completely regret it now; I wouldn't recommend it, and would never stay here again. Completely over-priced for what it is.

Location
The website was totally misleading. It implied Self Catering and a Lounge. Other than two footstools there was nowhere to sit. A student desk and crockery in the drawer. Tiny fridge and only one bin between bathroom and bedroom. The carpet was dirty and there was an open pack of cigarettes in the bedside drawer with some loose cigarettes scattered. There was no mainstream TV channels but when the internet went down we tried to contact the phone number. It was busy but said to leave a message but that was not possible.

Location perfect
Didn't like after contract was made a demand for £20 was made because we had a dog.
I may add this was after we requested a dog friendly establishment , given a price and paid.
Demanding a further £20 totally unacceptable.
We use dog friendly accommodation regularly and this is the first time such a demand has been made, even after contract agreed.

We liked Ballater, very friendly local people, easy to talk with , streets and parks spotlessly clean
excellent breakfast at "Bean for Coffee" a small cafe on corner of road opposite, we ate locally in the evening, again everyone was so friendly
A lovely village town to where we enjoyed our time
Felt the room did not live up to those as shown/detailed in room description,
there were no bedside lamps, and only 1 lightswitch by entrance door, meant had to walk in the room in the dark
No wastebins in bedroom or bathroom (albeit when requested by phone one turned up the 2nd
NO window blind in bathroom albeit brackets fixed on the wall
TV did not work, when turning on - a message on screen, saying software update required password required,
1 of twin beds had a headboard, the other had nothing, just looked odd as iif it was a single room turned into a twin
10.0 / 10.0
Absolutely beautiful and comfortable room with everything one would need. Surroundings were stunning and the view from the window was amazing. Shops and eateries all a stones throw away too. We will definitely be back for another stay very soon. 10/10

Very clean. Nice decor.
The shuttered window in the room let in a lot of light, as it has a hole in it. There were no curtains.

Location was spot on.
Bed comfy, but too warm for me.
Nice quality bedding (but summer duvet would have been appreciated)
Shower tiny and poor water pressure. Shame because the bathroom was a good size.
Kitchen facilities were a small microwave sat on top of a little fridge. Would be better built in or hidden away.
Room very small.

Good range of facilities and a central location.
No pillows suitable for front sleepers (they only had really thick pillows). The blackout blind had lots of light bleed round the sides which woke us early in the morning.

Very central location and really relaxed being able to self check in. Parking was easy right outside on a quiet street.
The bed was very comfortable and we bought breakfast from the coop which is 2 minutes walk away.
A super place to stay in a charming village.
No teaspoons made our breakfast cuppa awkward!
