Top Ballater Library Hotel Reviews

Loch Kinord Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely time at Loch Kinord. We especially enjoyed the hiking right from the property. Our cabin was cozy and perfect for our stay. The food in the restaurant was very enjoyable."

Banchory Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A great place to stay, staff very friendly and helpful and the food was good."

Argyle Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely B&B. Great hosts. Wonderful breakfast, with home made bread! Room was cosy. Shower was quirky but nice and hot. We would definitely stay here again"

The Smugglers Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"We were rented the family bedroom that had its own private bath, a double bed and three singles. It was a great place to stay. Huge kitchen for everyone and lots of seating. Parking was a bit tight."

Balmoral Arms

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were just lovely and very friendly. The food at the restaurant was very good and the rooms were modern and clean. I would definitely stay again if in the area."

Braemar Youth Hostel

8/10 Good

"Everything was clean and comfortable and well-maintained. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was fairly easy to use. The only minor issue is just how poorly insulated for sound the rooms are: I heard every person walking by all night long, and every time our neighbours unlocked their door, I thought someone was coming in our room. I don’t think it’s anything that can be easily fixed, but it was a small issue that we had to deal with."

The Boat Inn

8/10 Good

"Lovely and quiet, stay in the chalet if you can, luxury . Food was good and tasty. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Plenty places to sit for food, pub, restaurant or function suit upstairs. Private parking."

Sweet Donside Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"The Sweet Donside Cabins are a little piece of heaven in Scotland, everything we could possible need was provided, we stayed in the Little Love Nest and the way it was decorated was absolutely amazing the added touches of pictures and ornaments was second to none, Lizzie and Brent are amazing hosts. Everything was spotless, the hot tub was ready as soon as we arrived and was such a treat with the lights all around the decking area. Each cabin is very private even though they are next to each other. We will definitely be back!"

Haughton Arms Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff were very helpful and the breakfast was delicious. Also enjoyed dinner in the evening. Dog friendly, so our dog could have meals with us in the bar lounge."
