I’m 6’5” and I struggled with the attic roof in the bathroom. 1st world problem having shave but it shouldn’t put anyone off

The guest house has a lovely feel that I’m sure tourists to the area will be very appreciative of. It’s tartan and shortbread, well mums cake anyway which was magnificent!

Everything was wonderful

This is a hidden gem. This Guest House is alive with history and charm. It's central location in Balloter makes it an easy walk to anywhere in the village, as well as a quick journey to Balmoral and other area attractions. The town is wonderful for shopping, and the hosts are just plain delightful. Stephen makes a great breakfast, and Beth is attentive to anything you could need. Their knowledge of the area and other historical details they share may have you enticed for a bit during breakfast. Can't say enough good about them ! The bed and room sizes are fantastic. The Pub down the street is amazing and welcomes the best behaved doggies in the world. Finest food from India we've experienced was a block-and-a-half away. Wish we could have stayed longer !!

The Gordon Guest House ticks boxes that I didn't even know needing ticking! From the warm welcome (with homemade cake!!!)' To the very comfortable beds, the charm and whisper of the building's historical past, the great night's sleep, the stunning views and the cooked to order breakfast, I am ready to move in! As a guide who takes guests all over Scotland, this has been one of my most very favourite places to stay and I will be back, with or without guests!

Staying at The Gordon Guest House was really wonderful. The two owners, Beth and Steve, were incredibly friendly and helpful. It was clear they are passionate about the house and the area! The rooms were tidy and comfortable, huge bed and functional bathroom. The breakfast was very tasty, and room looks out over the Craigendarroch hill- gorgeous way to start the day! We really appreciated all of the small touches in the house- like walking maps, binoculars, snacks, books, games, and even little emergency contact sheets if you are hiking alone. It felt like somewhere that was created with the guest's full experience in mind, and beautifully represented the town's activities.

A spotlessly clean, comfortable and good-sized bedroom with very comfortable large bed and sitting area. Lovely views of the town and hillsides. A generous supply of towels and many thoughtful extra touches. Very good breakfast in a pleasant breakfast room with beautiful white tablecloths 😀 . Friendly and welcoming owners. Would love to return here sometime.

This is an absolutely hidden gem and the most welcoming and well equipped accommodation we stayed in during our recent break, travelling around Scotland. The location is idea, in a lovely village and Steven and Beth are top drawer hosts. The rooms are wonderful and the breakfast was superb. We will certainly go back and would recommend this guest house without hesitation.
