Crannach House bed and breakfast and self catering apartments, hotel in Ballater

A recently renovated bed and breakfast, Crannach House bed and breakfast and self catering apartments offers accommodation in Ballater.

I had a comfortable room with a couch. The morning breakfast was very nice and I enjoyed watching the birds twittering around the many bird houses in the morning. I was there when falls leaves were beautiful and was able to take advantage by going on long walks starting right there at the B&B. Ballater was three miles away. It is small but has a choice of pubs and an excellent Indian restaurant. The hosts were very nice.

    Clean, comfortable and warm…this was delightful, quirky accommodation with a great view in a quiet, private setting. The hot tub was a nice addition and the wild flowers very appealing. Parking was easy and free. The bottle of wine was a nice, welcoming touch too. Thank you, we’ve had a lovely few days.
