    This place suits me perfectly with its great amenities like free wi-fi, indoor pool, and 24-hour reception. The staff helped with my suitcases during my first visit, and their recommendations were spot on. I'm coming back for Christmas.

    Impressive cleanliness throughout the suites adds to a cozy atmosphere. Various self-catering options available for cooking in-room provide flexibility for meals.

    Breakfast not included in the stay, making mornings less convenient without nearby dining options. Sofa bed in our suite was tough to set up and had buckled legs. The basic room amenities felt lacking with no slippers or bathrobe. Cold temperatures in the room made it uncomfortable without proper heat adjustment. Our view was undesirable, facing the car park, leading to a less enjoyable experience overall.

    clean lodge
    stunning views
    dark interiors
    shaded balcony

    The lodge was cozy and clean, providing stunning views, although it was somewhat dark inside and not as well-situated as hoped, leaving the balcony shaded most of the time. Staff were friendly and attentive, but cleanliness could be improved, as we did find remnants from previous guests.

    limited breakfast options
    service delays

    The one-bedroom suite was spacious and well-maintained, making it comfortable for my stay. I encountered some issues with noise insulation, which affected my sleep, and the limited breakfast options were disappointing. it's a nice place for a family vacation, but improvements could enhance the experience.

    comfortable living area

    It was just a great match for a weekend vacation in Ballater with fantastic value for money. The living area had spectacular views of the mountains that made it feel special. A car is essential to explore nearby attractions comfortably.

    Cozy Escape in the Highlands

    Our Junior Suite with a fireplace felt like a home. Super clean, comfy, and the staff were all really chill. The leisure facilities, especially the pool, were well maintained. Just wish the restaurant was a bit bigger. had to wait a bit for a table. Ballater’s only a short walk away.

    charming architecture
    spacious common areas
    thoughtfully designed suites
    accessibility issues
    limited mobility options

    The hotel combines charming Victorian architecture with modern decor. The spacious common areas and thoughtfully designed suites made it easy for seniors like me to navigate comfortably throughout the property.

    More accessible options for mobility-challenged guests would help.

    spacious suite
    beautiful nature
    parking difficulties

    The one-bedroom suite with a sofa bed provided ample space to relax and enjoy the surroundings, featuring cozy furnishings that create a homely appeal. The location near beautiful hiking trails offers a fantastic base for exploring the Highlands, allowing for serene outdoor experiences right outside the door.

    Navigation within the hotel can be a bit of a hassle, with multiple corridors and lifts needed just to reach the room. Some amenities felt a bit underwhelming, such as the spa area, which lacked a relaxing atmosphere, feeling more like a community pool rather than a resort retreat. I encountered issues with the television that required replacing three times, and connectivity for Wi-Fi varied significantly, making it inconvenient at times. parking can get crowded, creating stress trying to find convenient spots.
