Reviewed Nov 2, 2025No.45 Ballater is gelegen in een schilderachtige omgeving, in het charmante dorp Ballater aan de rivier de Dee. De locatie is gunstig ten opzichte van Balmoral Castle en het Cairngorms National Park, beide absoluut een bezoek waard. Het guesthouse is traditioneel ingericht, met onder andere tartan vloerbedekking, en straalt karakter uit. Het personeel is bijzonder vriendelijk en gastvrij. De kamer was comfortabel en verzorgd. Het ontbijt was uitgebreid en gevarieerd, met opties voor iedere smaak: van porridge met honing, omelet met spinazie, pannenkoeken, bacon en heerlijke worstjes tot yoghurt met vers fruit.
Niks op aan te merken.

Wir haben uns für das Restaurant Fish Shop entschieden - sehr zu empfehlen.
