The history of the place, the building itself and superb location in the forest. Rustic harm of the property and all wooden encrustations and carving are simply amazing. Food was very good at the local restaurant plus a moderate selection of good whiskies . Cozy fireplace was lit during the evening. Great staff!

    A very scenic town centre.

    A very scenic town centre. A good supermarket and several specialist shops (bookshop especially) . just try and avoid the sweetshop (far too tempting) Several nice restaurants and an excellent fish and chip shop. Bike hire by the old station and easy routes along the old line.

    Ballater is a lovely village.

    Ballater is a lovely village. Very clean and tidy as you would expect being so close to Balmoral Castle. Beautiful hanging baskets outside the shops Plenty of cafes and gift shops. Lovely village green around the Church in the centre of Ballater with seating areas . Free car park and free parking around the Church. Lovely village to visit or stay. We stayed overnight at The Barrel before visiting Balmoral Castle the following day.

    It has been the most wonderful and comfortable place we have stayed in on our trip we had been away for 4 weeks and this place by far the very best. Homemade cakes and a great breakfast. Highly recommend to everyone to stay, but you should stay a minimum of two nights.

    perfect tranquil location within easy walking distance of lovely ballater. Dog friendly and good immediate local woodland walks. A great base if you want to sightsee, go walking or cycling on / off road. The hosts were very pleasant and the accommodation was very clean and well equipped. Also had a dishwasher which was nice. Parking was easy too with lots of space to do so. Price was really good for standard of accommodation

    The hotel is in a great location in the centre of Ballater, right next to the river. We easily got parked on the street across from the hotel. The room was small but very clean, with comfy bed, big bright window, powerful shower, and plenty of toiletries, tea/coffee etc. Breakfast was great with a selection of cold and hot choices. Staff couldn't have been more friendly. Great place to stay.

    Lovely hotel with history and character. Staff and owners were very welcoming which gave a relaxed atmosphere. Hotel sits in quiet wooded area near river with plenty walks and scenery. Room was warm and comfortable, we had booked a deluxe room with large double bed which had warm feather duvet and pillows. Breakfast was continental with the usual choices.
