Our stay at The Gordon Guest House was perfect! We got an upgrade to suite room which offered us an amazing view of the mountain in the morning. The suite room had luxurious jacuzzi and a very big bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and the room was set at a cozy temperature. We felt very welcome. The breakfast was made as per choice. It was prepared by the hosts themselves. The delicious breakfast made our morning and we had a very good start of the day, enroute to starting our NC500 journey. Beth and Steve are great hosts and we had a very engaging conversation on topics such as Indian music, Scottish Highland life. We would definitely come back again if we visit Ballater. Highly recommended!

The room was comfy. Breakfast was fabulous, made to order and served by the friendly owners. We had some lovely conversations with them. They are knowledgeable about the area, and suggested great places to eat and explore. The location is right in the centre of town. Lots to explore in Ballater, with Balmoral Castle and Braemar nearby. Take advantage of the walks in the area, too.

Kildrummy Inn promises a harmonious and charming experience. Generally, statements on websites are overstated, but I would say in the case of Kildrummy Inn, they can not fully explain the whole gratifying experience. The staff is very helpful, the whole interior design is just so completely >right<, the food is delicious and the rooms, though small, have all little details checked. That's all just facts though, the whole feeling of the place is just soothing. Great experience, would recommend and we're definitely coming back!

The staff running this place is a couple and they take care of it like their own. Love the bar serving Guinness. Location is perfect. Everything you need is just 10mins by car. The room was the biggest one among all and we were so lucky to have stayed in it! We requested for a kettle and fridge and they provided us with a full coffee station.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the charming bed and breakfast run by Martyn and Louise, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped through the door, their warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The accommodations were cozy and immaculately clean, with thoughtful touches that added to the overall charm of the place. The attention to detail in the decor and furnishings created a cozy and inviting atmosphere that instantly put me at ease. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. But the real highlight of my stay was the amazing full breakfast that Martyn and Louise prepared. It was an absolute feast for the senses! The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air, enticing me to the dining area. The selection of pastries, freshly squeezed juices, and a variety of mouthwatering dishes was simply outstanding. The ingredients were clearly sourced with care, and the flavors were sublime. It was evident that Martyn and Louise poured their passion and expertise into every bite, making it a truly memorable culinary experience. Beyond the delectable breakfast, Martyn and Louise went above and beyond to ensure that I had everything I needed during my stay. Overall, my one night stay at Martyn and Louise's bed and breakfast exceeded all expectations. Their warm hospitality, cozy accommodations, and the truly exceptional full breakfast made it a stay to remember. I cannot recommend this delightful establishment enough and look forward to returning in the future.
