    As beautiful as I thought it would be.

    As beautiful as I thought it would be. I was stunned by the massive girth of some of the trees and their incredible heights. The King is now planting many more trees and redoing the formal gardens. Since he has an incredible sense of design, the gardens will be spectacular in a few years. I loved the walks around the estate and all the informational signs explaining the history of buildings and traditions. The estate has done a marvelous job.

    Grounds were disappointing and need tidying up.

    Grounds were disappointing and need tidying up. Although the Royals use this for their late summer retreat, it is open for long periods to the paying public and activities to keep tidy should not be geared to the Royals arriving . However, the surrounding area is stunning

    We provided our own meals here. The cottage was lovely, clean and had everything we needed. It was close to the town centre, and to Balmoral Castle and lots of walks. We used it as a base to travel around the whole peninsular.

    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.

    The location was excellent not far from Ballatar and Balmoral Castle. Room was very comfortable and nice modern bathroom considering the age of the property. The breakfast was excellent, lovely homecooked meal. The proprietors were friendly and very welcoming.

    The location was beautiful, we had a great view from our window, of the mountains. The evening menu looked amazing and had we checked into our rooms instead of going strait to Balmoral Castle we would have chosen to eat at the hotel, but it was getting late in the day and we wanted to visit the grounds before they closed. We did have a nice drink by the fire however, and a chat with the staff in the early evening.

    - The bed (!!) - The breakfast - The room and location of the property Last but definitely not least: - The owners; knowledgeable, kind and fun to talk to Lovely guest house/ B&B right in the middle of beautiful Ballater. Walking distance from restaurants, pubs, the nice river walk etc. Only a short drive from the Cairngorms, Balmoral castle and Aberdeen. Will definitely come back when we're in the area
