Top Hotels Near Royal Lochnagar Distillery in Ballater

"All aspects of room, facilities and restaurant, ticked all the boxes. The staff are also very friendly and attentive."

"Lovely cosy hotel. Excellent bar, lounge and restaurant with friendly attentive staff."

"Yes it was very clean and a good size. "

"We chose to stay hear because it was our dream on this backpacking trip to stay in a castle. The castle is beautiful, warm, with the wood fireplace burning. I will say that for a very old property they keep it extremely unkept. It is of older charm, so keep that in mind (older carpets, less electrical plugs). The food , staff, and the stay was amazing, I only wish we weren’t backpacking so we could’ve stayed longer. One thing to note are that the parking situation threw us off alittle because there is a sign at the entrance of the estate saying no vehicles pass this point but you can drive all the way up and part in any spot around the castle. So don’t worry about parking."

"Great cabin!"

"Everything was excellent "

"Keeping in mind this is a hostel, not a B&B, this property is well maintained and well managed. Located near Braemar and all the area has to offer outdoor enthusiasts, the hostel offers a quiet and clean stay with use of the kitchen. The beds were comfortable and warm. Would recommend and would stay again. "

"Very comfortable place"

"Excellent stay at Silver Birch. The bed was extremely comfy and the tree house was really well equipped and well furnished. Hot tub was lovely to appreciate the views. Only minor points we would make would be the shower was a little disappointing compared to how luxurious everything else was. Also the spiral stairs to the hot tub felt quite loose, not the safest option. "
