Top Ballater Hotel Reviews

Craiglynne Hotel

Craiglynne Hotel

6/10 Okay
"Room was very clean. Needed refurbished. Shower was a trickle and difficult to get the right temperature. Only one window in the room opened. No fan in bathroom. Bed very comfortable. Lovely places to eat nearby. (We did not eat in hotel) Ben Mhor hotel, Grant arms, The Wee Puffin and The Garth Hotel. Parking was interesting with no real car park but wasn't too busy so managed to find a space. "
