What a special place. Something straight out of "Fawlty Towers" complete with its unique decor and quirky charm. A good breakfast and friendly staff, especially "Manuel".

A wonderful and cozy place to stay in Balleter. The host was friendly and briefed us on the do's n don't while staying there. The room was neat and clean. We appreciated very much the welcome pack of cookies and the taste of local whiskey. Breakfast was fantastic and cooked as requested from the menu. A good variety! Checking in and out was easy at the reception. A close walk to the town center.

    A very scenic town centre.

    A very scenic town centre. A good supermarket and several specialist shops (bookshop especially) . just try and avoid the sweetshop (far too tempting) Several nice restaurants and an excellent fish and chip shop. Bike hire by the old station and easy routes along the old line.

    Ballater is a lovely village.

    Ballater is a lovely village. Very clean and tidy as you would expect being so close to Balmoral Castle. Beautiful hanging baskets outside the shops Plenty of cafes and gift shops. Lovely village green around the Church in the centre of Ballater with seating areas . Free car park and free parking around the Church. Lovely village to visit or stay. We stayed overnight at The Barrel before visiting Balmoral Castle the following day.

    It has been the most wonderful and comfortable place we have stayed in on our trip we had been away for 4 weeks and this place by far the very best. Homemade cakes and a great breakfast. Highly recommend to everyone to stay, but you should stay a minimum of two nights.

    Great little town on the eastern edge of the Cairngorms. Some nice speciality shops, cafes and restaurants. We ate at Angus and Ale - the food was first class.. Ballater makes a perfect base to explore the highlands.

    The hammock on the pergola made the stay just perfect for us! We really enjoyed our stay! We did not expect this stay to be as exceptional! There was everything we needed as the Kitchen was fully equipped! Even though the hot tub is shared you still got your privacy to use exclusively! Perfect wee place and not far from Ballater and Braemar! Very peaceful! Loved the fact there was no TV! Wish we stayed for longer but we will definitely be back again.

    Property and room were spotlessly clean and well appointed. Located in the middle of Ballater within easy walk of all amenities. Hosts were friendly and accommodating too. They even booked a local hotel for my meal. Will definitely return.
