Great location very easy to get to from the main roads. Overlooks a river and a farm with sheep and little lambs - which was great. I hopped over the fence and went to say hi + sit by the river for my morning coffee. The bathrooms, common area, and tea shack are all really well thought and are meticulously clean. Very impressed with the setup.

Ballater Hostel is an amazing place. Located in the beautiful and tranquil village of Ballater, it's a great place to stay.

Lovely little place with high-quality furnishings. Just a short walk from the middle of Ballater but feels quiet and peaceful. The lounge/dining room catches the late afternoon sun and has a view up to the oak woods of Craigendarroch hill. It's quite a small place (the reasonable price reflects this - it's in a 'premium' part of the Highlands) but the quality of the armchair, sofa and dining chairs would put many a grand country hotel to shame and made for a relaxing and memorable stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Celicall. We had a wedding at Mar Lodge and the location was ideal to travel to it. The room was very clean, comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. The couple were very friendly and helpful as I had forgotten my hairdryer and the landlady offered the use of one. The landlady gave us comprehensive information about the area and the restaurants. Would certainly recommend for a relaxing stay.
