Our stay at The Gordon Guest House was perfect! We got an upgrade to suite room which offered us an amazing view of the mountain in the morning. The suite room had luxurious jacuzzi and a very big bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and the room was set at a cozy temperature. We felt very welcome. The breakfast was made as per choice. It was prepared by the hosts themselves. The delicious breakfast made our morning and we had a very good start of the day, enroute to starting our NC500 journey. Beth and Steve are great hosts and we had a very engaging conversation on topics such as Indian music, Scottish Highland life. We would definitely come back again if we visit Ballater. Highly recommended!

Kildrummy Inn promises a harmonious and charming experience. Generally, statements on websites are overstated, but I would say in the case of Kildrummy Inn, they can not fully explain the whole gratifying experience. The staff is very helpful, the whole interior design is just so completely >right<, the food is delicious and the rooms, though small, have all little details checked. That's all just facts though, the whole feeling of the place is just soothing. Great experience, would recommend and we're definitely coming back!
