We stayed here as part of a stag weekend. The cabins around the back of the resort were well kept, clean and of good quality. The hotel manager was very welcoming and helpful, but some of the other waiting staff were less so, but this maybe due to the nature of our trip. The hotel is remote, requiring vehicle access...

This hotel was a great find with our trusty ipad in hand - we couldn't get a second night in Inverness so we journeyed and reviewed hotels that appealed to us in the Ballater / Balmoral area. Loch Kinord, especially Andrew and David who took care of us with excellent suggestions for dinner and made us feel welcome in the... More

Stayed one night, for my mothers 90th birthday. Made some special requests, which were all carried out and the staff and owners couldn't have been more helpful.

Stayed here for 1 night for a wedding and had a great time. The food was excellent. The vegetarian option was lovely, and I noticed on the regular menu that they do normally have a few vegetarian options, which is quite unusual for most restaurants. The rooms were nice, and the staff were very friendly. It is worth staying here,... More
