We had a wonderful stay in Ballater. The hotel was quaint, comfortable, exceptionally clean, and wonderfully quiet — exactly what we were looking for. Having the bar and restaurant conveniently on site made everything so easy, and both dinner and breakfast were absolutely outstanding. The owners and staff were incredibly warm, personable, and welcoming throughout our stay. The food and drinks were a definite 10/10. With its convenient location and excellent hospitality, we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

The staff was really accommodating, even though some elements of the property were older. We liked the more laid-back decor (tartan carpets, older presentation) because it had character, but there were steps and things that made the property challenging for my mom, who has a walker. The staff was super helpful in accommodating our needs, however. They changed the room to better accommodate my mom, and carried her down the steps when we needed help. The wifi was no good in the second room we had, but they gave us free coffee to balance it out.

From the moment you arrive, the hosts greet you with a big smile and a chat. You feel like you have arrived home. We cannot fault this place, from the rooms right through to the (much too big) breakfast which is made for you personally. If we ever come back to Aviemore we will put this place as number 1 on our list and stay in the pods, for sure.

Aviemore is a great base for exploring the Cairngorms National Park. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, beautiful scenery and easy access to walking trails and nearby attractions. The town has several good restaurants and cafés, making it a pleasant stop on a Highlands road trip. One night was just right for us, but outdoor enthusiasts could easily spend several days here.

Ballater is a beautiful small town with an interesting array of shops and amenities. There are several pubs in the town which provide excellent eating experiences. The Rothesay Station Cafe is a must-visit along with the Clachan Grill. The central park area is well maintained and there are plenty of benches when you need somewhere to sit and admire the scenery.

A neat town, in a good central position to travel out to other areas for walking and to Speyside distilleries, but private transport is recommended for this, although we did see a couple of buses. There are a couple of 'personable pubs' who provide cheap meals, but we found healthy food a little hard to come by! The Co op was very handy and central, for buying anything you needed. The walk from the town centre to the Spey river through the pinewoods was cleearly marked, accessible and pretty and only takes 15 minute or so. The museum offers information on the town's history and provides 'walk Grantown' information.

There are a few routes to walk to Kincraig, using the cycle/walking route. The Old Post Office Cafe Gallery sells absolutely wonderful food - I can highly recommend the soup with a cheese scone. Just make sure you look at the opening times as it's not open every day. The only downside is that there's nowhere to buy general provisions in Kincraig, for this you need to head into Kingussie, which is an 8 minute drive away as the cycle/walking path unfortunately doesn't go that far
