The hotel and our room were comfortable and clean. The shower was very good. It was very convenient to have food and drinks available onsite. All the staff were welcoming and accommodating: we were on a tight schedule, but they found us a table in the bar when we needed it and the food arrived quickly. We were also very pleased to find someone still serving at the bar when we got back!
We liked it all!

Everything was brilliant from start to finish. It was just perfect for what we were looking for. Would highly recommend to anyone. It certainly won't be the last time we stay there.
There was nothing we didn't like - it was a wonderful experience

Wonderful staff. Managing to run the hotel efficiently from breakfast to bedtime, and be friendly and helpful too. We loved the massive super-comfy bed. Such an extensive varied menu we ate in every night for the whole week. No hotel car park but we never had any problem parking very nearby. Location is perfect for strolling up the pretty main street to the village green, or exploring one of the waymarked 'Ballater Paths'
Cooked breakfasts were lovely and very traditionally Scottish, but I would have welcomed the occasional 'continental' croissant or pastry.

Food at hotel was very good. Staff were lovely. Rooms were very clean.
Wasn't sure where to park so had to temporarily Park then move car. Instructions could be given in an email. The bathroom was clean but dated and the towels were cheap (Tesco label) and had seen better days. I know its only a small thing but gives the wrong impression and easily resolved. Tesco regularly do half price towels I buy them myself but only the West Park ones which are better than M and S! The bed was very hard and not comfy we both had a bad night I'm afraid.

Great breakfast and good evening meal Central location
Morning and dinning room staff very friendly and helpful
Bit dated property and facilities
initial contact on arriving pretty off putting as rather unwelcoming attitude to simple request which was gradually softened and resolved but first impressions count and are lasting
Bit over priced for what was on offer

The hotel is very comfortable, the staff couldn't be kinder and my room was spacious and the bed comfortable.
Breakfast was delicious and beautifully prepared. Food is available for lunch and/or dinner and as enjoyable.
Very convenient for retail therapy and for varied lengths of walks. All in all A+
No reason to complain on my visit.

Great location within Ballater. Staff were very welcoming and the hotel felt homely. Cosy, fresh and clean single room with en-suite. Bed very comfortable. Bright room with a nice outlook to the front of the hotel. My evening meal was very enjoyable …tasty and home made in the friendly bar. The breakfast too was excellent with staff attentive. I would definitely recommend and stay again.
There was nothing I didn’t like. A light attached to the bed might be an idea, as there is not room for a bedside table, but it’s not essential and it wouldn’t stop me staying again. Couldn’t see instructions for TV…I think guests may need to remember their passwords to work BBC iplayer, Netflix etc.

Property was well located. The room was very clean and was just right for our one night stay. The people were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Food was excellent
Only drawback is that it doesn’t have its own car park, you have to park on the road outside, which is no big deal.

A perfect location for my 2 day geocaching trip. My single bedroom was compact but had all the facilities. The excellent breakfast set me up for my day's walking. A good selection on the menu for evening meals. Place was spotlessly clean, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I'll be back.
Nothing, except I couldn't stay longer.

A very welcoming, comfortable small hotel. All areas were spotlessly clean and tidy; meals (breakfast and evening bar meals) were excellent and staff were friendly and helpful. The surrounding area is fantastic for walking/cycling.
