I was hoping for something warm, but it would appear that the breakfast is continental only as no choice of anything cooked was made available or advertised. This is fine for me, but might be an issue for other occupants.

The lovely little pods were a calming and cosy place to stay. The bathrooms are spacious and were kept really clean and warm, so was the Snug cottage. You have to be prepared to walk outside your little hut whenever you need something so some easy to put on shoes are a good idea.
The owners are really nice and helpful whenever you need something. You can really see the care and thought they put it the accommodation. Overall it was an incredibly good value for the money and we would 100% recommend it.

beautiful location, what a amazing B&B!
we really enjoyed our stay, everything was great!
the breakfast was perfect (the kids thought so too) what a choice, both sweet and savory and lots of it from our own kitchen, pastries, croissants, fresh fruit... delicious! Best breakfast of our holiday.
There was a glass of whiskey in the room, but also a bottle of juice and homemade shortbread for the children!
you notice that everything has been thought through, the owners want to distinguish themselves and do so in a nice way.
It's the little things that stand out and, in our opinion, these are what make this a unique location.
sweet, pure and helpful sincere owners who are proud of their beautiful place. always room for a chat and good advice about the area.
the rooms are very nice, stylish and spotlessly clean.
and congrets with Celtic!
recommended! 10/10!!

Ballater is a lovely little town, very close to the Balmoral Estate so excellent location if you are planning to visit the Castle and grounds of the royal estate. It has an excellent selection of restaurants, coffee shops and boutique / gift shops to choose from. Free parking in most places and some lovely walks that are all clearly marked that follow the river and circulate the town.DavidUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
Ballater is a beautiful historic town.
Ballater is a beautiful historic town. It has lovely architecture, a Victorian train station where Queen Victoria used to travel to. Lots of restaurants, pubs, and the townspeople are very nice. It's close to Balmoral and was a perfect location to drive around and see the sites.

Quaint little village with just enough amenities with plenty of activities in and around the place. There's a coop shop for groceries, and some nice restaurant choices too. There's a small petrol station here as well so it's useful for fuelling up if you plan to drive any great distance. I'd happily come back here, but it's a small place so it's limited in some ways if you plan to stay for any great length of time. We ate from two restaurants here, the New Shanghai Chinese takeaway, and the Alexandra Hotel restaurant. Both were very satisfying meals and good value for money, and I'd happily come back to both. The village is fairly small, so it's very walkable if you want to mill around and explore the pubs, shops and cafes.AndrewUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
Lovely picturesque village in Royal Deeside.
Lovely picturesque village in Royal Deeside. Shop fronts, the streets and the buildings are immaculately kept. Has many great places to eat and drink. Great walk along the old Deeside railway line. I went on a drench November midweek day, so there wasn't a lot happening, but the surroundings are nice. Fantastic place for solo travellers, couples and people who like the great outdoors.DavidUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

Ballater is a fantastic area, such beautiful surroundings with lots to do. Lots of walking and cycling options. The town itself has beautiful buildings and architecture. I love the area so much, I'm looking to buy a property and move there permanently.

- 9.9Scored 9.9ExceptionalRated exceptional· 144 reviewsQuiet and beautiful location but minutes from the quaint village of Ballater in Cairngorms NP. Martyn and Louise could not have been more welcoming. Our room was very spacious with a comfortable bed, a separate seating area, and all of the amenities, including plenty of power outlets throughout the room. Our accommodations included a private patio area and a very large bathroom. The welcoming treats and gourmet breakfast which included homemade baked goods were standouts in an exceptional stay at Craggan.
WhinnaUnited States - 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 338 reviewsMy hosts, Tony and Natalie recently remodeled their property. Everything is new. My room was spacious and very comfortable. I don't eat breakfast, but Natalie prepared some of the best coffee I've had in Scotland! Tony was very helpful with restaurant recommendations. Both were lovely and totally focused on my having a wonderful experience at their property. It is ideally located just a short walk from the city center and all the restaurants and shops. Highly recommend this to travelers in this area.
StephenUnited States - From £180 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 1,285 reviewsAbsolutely loved this stay here and truly wished we had spent more than one night here. The place has a lovely need and honestly was the best nights sleep I've had in Scotland this far. The place was beautiful and location was perfect. It was close to several hiking trails which we took advantage of. There continental breakfast was quite robust and we were happy with that. The host was an incredibly friendly individual, we enjoyed speaking to him and honestly which we could have known him better.JoshuaUnited States
- 8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 370 reviewsIt was our privilege to arrive on the first day Cath and her nephew Shamus took possession of the B&B. The house suited us perfectly as it was, but the new owners hit the ground running with plans for renovations and extending the accommodations to build yurts for walkers on the adjacent property. Cath and Shamus’ enthusiasm and kindness was boundless. We wish them every success. The location was perfect for walking in Cairngorms, and a skip and hop from the fascinating Muir of Dinnet.
