We stayed here for one night on 3rd Feb on a trip north and wished we had stayed longer. The hotel staff are very friendly and the level of service is excellent with good attention to detail. The hotel has a leisure centre with swimming pool and smaller pool for children. There are also two restaurants - the Oaks for... More

From a reception desk where the ladies understood the importance of watching the Calcutta Cup (Scotland vs. England at Rugby), the health club, bar staff, and the delightful Hungarian waitress during the evening meal; these guys were not just going through the motions, they were happy to be there and happy to help. Rarely have I been so impressed. Coupled... More

Very enjoyable for a quiet weekend away. My only criticism is that the hotel is in need of refurbishment as it looks rather dated. More

I have had a lodge at Craigendarroch for over 20 years and the service is always excellent at the hotel. Set amid idyllic surroundings and a short walk from the lovely village of Ballater, Craigendarroch is simply a wonderful place to relax away from the madness of the modern world. More

I arranged a 3 night break for my parents at this hotel. It was my mother's 80th Birthday. They had a wonderful time. Wonderful upgraded room with a lovely view. Hotel staff very friendly and made their stay very welcoming. More

The Study Bar with its open fire and wonderful collection of old books (I picked up a book on Romans written... More

We booked for a three night weeked stay and we now wish we had booked longer - this hotel and its facilities and location are first class in all aspects. Staff... More

Susan McAlpine (Events Co-ordinator) – I have worked with a number of service professionals over the years, but Susan is top notch. Setting aside the complete professionalism I experienced, Susan offered a personal warmth and dedication to her work. I was pleasantly confused as to whether her top priority was to ‘suck up to me’ as a client or to... More

We stayed here in November as our "mini" Honeymoon, it was great. Facilities are really good, staff couldn't be more helpful and the food was brilliant too! And the room was amazing - loved having our own little terrace (Even though it was November we sat out!!) and the grounds were beautiful for a little stroll around looking for red... More
