Top Ballater Hotel Reviews
Macdonald Aviemore Highland Hotel
8/10 Good
"The hotel was very family friendly. Excellent soft play, pool and outdoor playground. The dinner and restaurant were excellent as well. Special thanks to Charles and Augustine at the dining room and breakfast. Augustine went above and beyond to accommodate us. Breakfast itself could have been better. It was lacking options and the vegetarian sausages ran out a few days."
The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel
8/10 Good
"This hotel was good value for money. It requires some upgrading as chairs are the worse for wear. Food at the hotel was good and the buffet breakfast again good value. Should install electric charging points as several guests were driving electric vehicles."
McKays Hotel Bar & Restaurant
10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful welcome. Very comfortable room (#106) with a large bay window overlooking the main street of Pitlochry. Had an excellent sleep and enjoyed the plenteous self service breakfast. Thanks to the team for a grand stay!"
Westlands of Pitlochry
10/10 Excellent
"Cant find any faults with this hotel. Fab staff, food, location, clean. An abundance of electric chargers so great to use as your base for seeing the area."
The Boat Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful building, excellent food and wonderful staff."
Fisher's Hotel
8/10 Good
"Good location with adequate parking adjacent to the property. The Hotel was not easily spotted because the area is busy and the exterior is not large and showy."
Craiglynne Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Extremely accommodating of my disabled daughter and arranged a ground floor room for us."
Craigvrack Hotel & Restaurant
8/10 Good
"The place itself was nice ,our room had a lovely view being on the front. It wasn't apparent on the booking that the restaurant was Indian cuisine only so we had to go elsewhere for our evening meal."
Atholl Palace Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Had a great time and the room was very nice. We requested two beds and it was one but they corrected it quickly. The dinner and breakfast were excellent. The grounds and the hotel are beautiful. Had a great time later on with the entertainment."
