St Andrews House

Located in Ballater, within 17 km of Balmoral Castle and 46 km of CairnGorm National Park, St Andrews House provides accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is situated 20 km from Aboyne Golf Club, 24 km from Corgarff Castle and 32 km from Craigievar Castle. Kildrummy Castle is 35 km from the guest house and Glenshee Ski Centre is 40 km away. Our second floor room was wonderful. It was spotlessly clean and elegant with a nice southern views of some of the beautiful homes in the area and hills in the distance. Natali and Tony were great hosts with much information to share about Ballater. Great walks and hikes right out of the front door. I especially liked the hike to the summit above Ballater called Craigendarroch. The “outside” pic is from the summit of this hike. The walk along the River Dee is quite enjoyable also. Fantastic breakfast! Natali shines in this regard in spite of me seeing Tony wearing an apron one morning. 😁 The “lobby” picture is one of the dining room tables set for breakfast. We would go back in a heartbeat!
