    Lovely converted old building forming a small but well equipped two person ‘granny flat’. Very quiet peaceful location within easy walking distance to Ballater centre, nice secluded outdoor seating area. Nice homely touches to the decor made it feel very welcoming. Look forward to a return visit soon!

    First of all: Thank you so much, Alison and Les and Teddy! ad breakfast: a huge range to choice from. The omelette was just unbelievable. ad room: lovely, comfy rooms. The bathroom had even a bath tub. I slept extremely well because there was no noise. It felt like home. Alison and Les are wonderful and great hosts. And Teddy, the dog, is just cute.

    We loved our stay at this hotel - the family who runs it were such lovely hosts, the property is in a fabulous setting, the room was gorgeous, the bed very comfy and the place furnished beautifully with antiques in keeping with the building. We found our stay deeply restorative, and would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a relaxed stay in a lovely part of the world. Also very family-friendly!
