AustraliaTucked away in a lovely quiet wee village in the beautiful Scottish highlands. An easy drive from Aberdeen and only twenty minutes away from Balmoral Castle. My single room was a delight in all respects and the breakfast provided was the best provided during my tour of Scotland.

If you can go on the private tour you should go.
If you can go on the private tour you should go. It is a must. It is so interesting and so unique. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous. You can just see the Royals as they tell the stories and show you the different rooms. It's just fabulous.

The entrance closes at 4 p.m., so if one has a longer distance to arrive there and only stay one night, you cannot walk the grounds, even if you don't want to visit the castle. This should be thought over. For us walking the grounds and taking pictures of the castle from a distance would have been absolutely sufficient.

If you have visited other Royal houses and expect the same then you will be disappointed. It is basically a walk through gardens designed to flower in August when visitors are not there and a trip into the ballroom. Beware - hardly any seating for not suitable for elderly or those who need to rest. Very small mews tearoom and currently temporary toilets, but new services are being built. Long walk back to exit with NO seating. Sadly I felt unwell and being unable to rest did not help. I know it's a Royal summer residence but we got the feeling they did not realy want visitors and they were not catered for adequately. Visit Windsor and Sandringham, much nicer!

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

Nice position in Scotland, especially if you plan to visit Balmoral Castle. The mattress was comfortable, the bathroom had two sinks, the shower was large. Breakfast was good and rich, the staff was professional and thoughtful.

The cottage was in an absolutely perfect location - the town of Ballater is just beautiful, with plenty of walking and outdoor activities nearby. Definitely worth a visit to Balmoral Castle while you are there! The beds were super comfy and we loved the bird feeder outside the window.

The Croft was comfortable, clean, warm and modern in a beautiful and very quiet location. It is ideal for access to the many footpaths across the Cairngorms and to a number of tourist attractions such as Balmoral Castle and Royal Lochnagar Distillery.

Breakfast was not provided. The location was excellent and the wood heater worked a treat. Lots to see and do around the area, including a visit to Balmoral Castle grounds.

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 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.

Beds were very comfortable & they let in dogs. Easy for parking as you can leave the car outside or over the road. Balmoral Castle is about 8 miles drive away, hotel’s right in the village/ town and around all the local shops and coffee shops.
