Top Ballater Library Hotel Reviews

Balmoral Arms

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed my stay at the Balmoral Arms, hotel is in a convenient location for visiting Balmoral. Room was clean, there is no on site parking but we had no issue in finding free parking. All staff were helpful and friendly. "

The Commercial Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my one night stay at the Commercial Hotel. The room was clean and comfortable and the hot, lush shower a delight after a week’s camping in the Cairngorms. The food was also good, both at dinner and breakfast. The staff were all very friendly, and Martin - who seemed to be in charge - was very efficient. There was ample free car parking behind the hotel. Overall the Commercial Hotel has the feel of a traditional Scottish inn, right at the heart of its community with a very lively bar. All in all, a great stay - I’ll be back!"

Douneside House

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in one of the offsite casa style rooms which was perfect for our family (we were parents travelling with two teenagers). Room was clean and had all we needed for our two night stay. We appreciated the afternoon scones and tea in the main hotel. We were surprised that our rooms didn’t have any housekeeping between our first and second nights so I’m not sure if that was part of the casa room service or not but our request for addition towels was taken care of quickly!"

The Boat Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay, been here a couple of times now. Food is great - breakfast gives plenty of options for all tastes (full Scottish to granola and fruit). Lunch and dinner and good pub style offerings. Rooms are generally a good size and nicely decorated. Some rooms can be a bit noisy depending on where you are in the property. Rooms downstairs at the front of the boat house ( the building on the other side of the car park to the main building/pub/restaurant) are quieter whereas rooms at the back and upstairs you can hear guests in other rooms."

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Craigendarroch Suites Scotland

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve had an excellent stay at Craigendarroch, I can’t really fault anything. Our suite was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable and very thoughtfully equipped. We also enjoyed use of the pool and had a lovely meal in the Keiller restaurant."

Cambus o'May Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely hotel with delicious food and a beautiful, peaceful setting. You should stay here. We stayed in a little stone cottage separate from the hotel an easy 5-minute walk up the hill. It used to be the dog kennels. In fact, the low stone walls topped with iron fencing that served as the two outside pens of the kennel are still there, as are the doggie doors -- tho’ these are firmly closed. A pair of French doors open onto a very large walled garden, which we had to ourselves. It's the middle of being replanted. Most of it is mown grass. It was a peaceful place to stroll and watch the birds. The cottage itself is very cozy. The decor is homey, though a little worn. The bed is very comfortable. The shower and sink have been modernized and the wall tiled. However, the toilet is a large Victorian affair that's showing its age and has no lid. It was the only aspect of the cottage I didn’t care for. However, given the rest of the bathroom remodel, I expect they’re planning on replacing it. The heater and towel warmers were lovey. There are so many plusses: The hotel is very near the lovely town of Ballater, Balmoral Castle, and woodland trails. Paths behind the hotel weave through a wood of native pines and gorgeous azaleas and rhododendrons. The staff is friendly and helpful. We ate dinner there one night and the food was delicious -- expertly prepared and very fresh. The terrace in front of the hotel looks out over the garden and the woods beyond."
