The room was spacious and comfortable, but the shower had low water pressure.

What a fantastic family getaway! We stayed at this charming B&B and loved the spacious room, perfect for our family of four. The breakfast was a highlight, especially the delectable pancakes. We explored the nearby golf course, which made for a fun outing with the kids.

For dads, it would be great to have a small play area for the kids.

The stay was enriching, highlighted by a beautiful garden setting for breakfast featuring homemade fruit preserves. Allison and Les proved to be exceptional hosts, going above and beyond with their attention to detail in decor and room cleanliness, including fluffy, oversized towels. we encountered minor complications during our check-in process that could have been better managed. Despite this, the lovely ambiance and welcoming atmosphere made for a memorable experience.

Be sure to try the homemade pancakes at breakfast. they're the highlight of the meal and a real treat to start your day.

The breakfast here was simply fantastic, with Alison’s pancakes being a must-try! We loved lounging in the beautiful garden and the cozy conservatory, perfect spots to relax. The only downside was a bit of chill in the breakfast area, but it didn't take away from our great experience. 😊

Ideal for a memorable escape

The breakfast served each morning was outstanding, like nothing I've had before. They had homemade granola and the best scrambled eggs I could’ve asked for. it’s like they knew how to cater to my needs.

It wasn’t cheap, but the experience was well worth it.

Just a well-suited match for a brief pit stop in Ballater with real value for money. The breakfast was fantastic, with homemade jams and delicious granola that made the morning special. Remember to ask about special dietary needs before your stay.

love how personal touches shine through at this charming b&b with a welcoming host in ballater

Alison made us feel instantly welcome.

Comfortable family room with access to the lovely garden. Could use more options for breakfast cereals. Close to a beautiful golf course.

our stay at no 45 was amazin! the king double room we got was huge and comfy, with soft linens that made us feel like we were in a fancy hotel. the breakfast was to die for, with homemade granola and loads of options. alison was super friendly and welcoming, giving us tips about the area, even had time to chat with us! also, the little dog teddy added to the charm of the place, he was adorable.

the only downside was the noise from the kitchen early in the morning, and the internet was a bit slow.

during our trip to ballater, we found this place to be a hidden gem that exceeded our expectations. the breakfast was superb, featuring homemade jams and perfectly cooked dishes. our room was spacious and comfortable, making our one-night stay truly memorable.

the shower had low water pressure.

The breakfast was a star, with homemade goodies that felt like a hug on a plate! Our room was a charmer, blending modern comfort with classic vibes. And let's not forget the proximity to local eateries like The Bothy and The Lochnagar Indian Brasserie, perfect for a bite after our adventures.

Honestly, I can't pinpoint any major flaws—just wish we could've lounged longer!

Couldn't recommend more for a holiday

Charming property, excellent breakfast, making mornings feel special with homemade jams and scones while enjoying the lovely garden view, and the location is conveniently just a short walk from the village center.

Everything met my expectations.
