Great location very easy to get to from the main roads. Overlooks a river and a farm with sheep and little lambs - which was great. I hopped over the fence and went to say hi + sit by the river for my morning coffee. The bathrooms, common area, and tea shack are all really well thought and are meticulously clean. Very impressed with the setup.

Lovely little place with high-quality furnishings. Just a short walk from the middle of Ballater but feels quiet and peaceful. The lounge/dining room catches the late afternoon sun and has a view up to the oak woods of Craigendarroch hill. It's quite a small place (the reasonable price reflects this - it's in a 'premium' part of the Highlands) but the quality of the armchair, sofa and dining chairs would put many a grand country hotel to shame and made for a relaxing and memorable stay.

Kath is a truly helpful and considerate host and made our short stay very enjoyable. This is a great location in the Cairngorms and very close to Balmoral Castle. Crannach House is being restored throughout to a very high standard reflected in our accommodation. Most comfortable bedroom, large desk/table space and views over garden containing an ingenious bird feeding "station" that also attracts red squirrels. Large modern en-suite with walk-in shower.

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.

We stayed for 3 nights with a Family of 7 (4 adults /3 children) The property is in a fantastic quiet location with views of Craigendarroch Hill out the window and access to many local trails right on the door step, The owner Neil gave us a very warm welcome and couldn’t have done more to ensure we had a good stay, we had his number and knew he was there had we needed anything but the attention to detail within the prep of the property ensure we wanted for nothing.. genuine 10 out of 10 accommodation and owner..
