An amazing little property in the heart of ballater. Well equipped and so cosy in the middle of December. Lovely little touch of Christmas tree to make it feel festive. Bed very comfy and cosy. Hot tub a lovely addition. Anna was lovely - super helpful and chatty - she popped in to help when the outdoor lights tripped a fuse during the wild weather and also on checkout.

    It was situated centrally for travel around the local area. Placed inside a small little Scottish village which was scenic and beautiful. The hotel itself was fabulous and I was very welcomed from the minute I stepped to the front door. It made a huge part of my holiday. Would absolutely stay again in the future. Loved my little road trip up North.

    A great location and short walk to the village for walking around and access to restaurants and cafes. The B&B is in a large old house\inn, a little dated unless that is your preference for something a little more steeped in history vs, a little more up to date and modern amenities. Breakfast was excellent including a made to order hot breakfast if desired.

    Ballater is a little luxury village right next to Balmoral Castle. Lovely downtown with beautiful houses, great shops and restaurants. St. Andrews house is itself a small castle. The owners live downstairs and upstairs there’s some rooms plus and apartment rented out for guests. We spent 2 nights in the apartment, it was very nice and specious, clean and had everything we needed. Easy parking in front of the building. Natalie and Tony was very welcoming and made us breakfast freshly every morning. We felt like royals.
