"A 20+ minute wait to check in meant our stay didn’t get off to a great start. Unfortunately the noise from dogs barking inside the hotel both while we were trying to relax with a drink and later into the evening made it difficult to unwind and even to fall asleep after a long day of walking. This wasn’t well managed and impacted our overall experience. On a more positive note, the pool facilities were good and the room itself was comfortable. However, we were also disappointed that cash payment wasn’t an option. Overall, due to these issues, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless you’re prepared for that kind of experience like ours."

"The food is great but very expensive, although Ballater is an expensive place to stay. Evening meal and bar lovely, breakfast amazing. Nice feel to the hotel, very traditional and cosy. We stayed in a standard room, which is basic. Mattress and pillows felt cheap, it overlooked properties but there was no net curtain to offer privacy, dusty, TV had no apps to log into, noise from downstairs clearly audible, door in the hallway made a creaking noise. We were pretty disappointed as the next level was almost double. "

"Did not use all the facilities but had a wonderful stay. Be great to have a similar hotel near Aviemore as that is where we spent most our time. Loved the spacious and very clean suite that we stayed in."
