We went to Ballater to be close to Balmoral Castle, where we went to an artisans market on the grounds. We were there in October, so opening of other parts of the castle were not available, due to royal residence use. I would return to this beautiful part of Scotland again if given the chance, to see more of the castle.

Beautiful little town in a stunning location.

Beautiful little town in a stunning location. The town is decorated with the most amazing hanging baskets. Several pubs, all seemed to be busy and offered good value food. The town is ideally located for exploring the beautiful area

A very scenic town centre.

A very scenic town centre. A good supermarket and several specialist shops (bookshop especially) . just try and avoid the sweetshop (far too tempting) Several nice restaurants and an excellent fish and chip shop. Bike hire by the old station and easy routes along the old line.

Ballater is a lovely village.

Ballater is a lovely village. Very clean and tidy as you would expect being so close to Balmoral Castle. Beautiful hanging baskets outside the shops Plenty of cafes and gift shops. Lovely village green around the Church in the centre of Ballater with seating areas . Free car park and free parking around the Church. Lovely village to visit or stay. We stayed overnight at The Barrel before visiting Balmoral Castle the following day.

It has been the most wonderful and comfortable place we have stayed in on our trip we had been away for 4 weeks and this place by far the very best. Homemade cakes and a great breakfast. Highly recommend to everyone to stay, but you should stay a minimum of two nights.

The location in the Cairngorms is fantastic with a marvelous view from the terrace. It has easy access by car to Ballater, Balmoral and Braemar. The old shooting lodge is a comfortable place to stay with quirky charm in its decorations of old prints and pictures. The food at breakfast and dinner was good, with some mildly erratic service by the hard-pressed single waiter. It was good value for money.

Beautiful location, lovely to sit out the front of the pod looking out over the trees and green grass. Heaps of walking and sight-seeing to do in the nearby area. Very close to the lovely town of Ballater. Super comfy and cosy cabins and overall everything was extremely clean and tidy.
