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.

    Great cabins in a great location, very easy for local shops and great location for going hikes in the surrounding areas. Nice and clean with a great television and music player. Friendly staff that said hello and made sure we were happy with the cabin. Nice and quiet at night which was great after a days hike. Lots of information leaflets on the area which is always useful. Being dog friendly with no charge was also a big positive for us!
