I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located on the outskirts of Ballater. The rooms were comfortable and offered stunning views, making for a relaxing experience. The service was warm and welcoming, but I did find the dining options somewhat limited. Overall, it was great value for money, but it would have been nice to have a bit more variety in the meals.

This hotel is located on the outskirts of Ballater, which gives it a peaceful vibe. The rooms offer stunning views and are quite comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the stay pleasant. However, while the overall experience was good, some aspects, like dining, could use improvement. It's a solid choice for the price, but not without its flaws.

The hotel is located on the outskirts of Ballater, providing a quiet setting while still being conveniently close to the town. The rooms were comfortable and offered lovely views, but the service could use some improvement as I found the staff not very attentive. While the location is great for exploring, it feels a bit isolated. Overall, a good value for money experience, though dining options were limited.
