We loved everything about our stay: the warm welcome we received, the amazing room with a breathtaking view, the tranquility, the best hosts im the world, the cutest dog in Scotland and the tastiest breakfast we've had on our trip through Scotland. Everything was so thought thru by the hosts and they absolutely wanted to make sure that we were feeling comfortable. We instantly felt home and were able to fully relax and recharge our batteries. We are truly glad that we found this rare gem and would definitely recommend and return.

The Gordon Guest House is located in Ballater, within Cairngorns National Park. Free WiFi access is available. Each room here will provide you with a TV. All rooms have their own private bathroom with either a bath or shower.

Gorgeous guest house, lovely rooms, most comfortable bed of our entire 1-week holiday! Hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, and breakfast was just superb. Rooms were quiet, and I loved the eco-friendly approach - even a recycling bin in the room, and the option of a little flask of milk for your tea, instead of little plastic pots. Lovely views of the hills around and of Ballater. I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice operator/owner who has done a great job of renovating this property to very high standards. The breakfast is fabulous. As this property is a little out of town one must have transportation, but it’s close to town so returning there for suppers etc is easy 😎

    Great location, just a short walk from the Cambus O'May footbridge. Good cheese board and a fine pint of Belhaven Best. I had a lovely, cozy single room with a decent view, a comfy bed and a wonderful rain shower (once I worked out the taps!) Breakfast was continental, with a wide choice of breads, cereals, juices and some fresh fruit. The coffee machine worked very well. Also a red squirrel hopped across the gravel outside the dining room window.

    Dormie Cottage is a charming wee Bungalow in an enclosed garden on a very quiet street on the edge of Ballater. It sleeps a family of 4-5, and we were extremely comfortable the 3 days we spent in the town!
