“A warm welcome in Ballater”

Reviewed 17 April 2012

We thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay at Osborne House thanks to the very warm welcome from Neil and Heather and the excellent hospitality they provided. Accommodation is as you'd expect for a four-star B&B and nothing was too much trouble. Location is only a five-minute walk to the heart of Ballater and handy for one of the several town walks...

With only a telephone number to go by, we booked a nights stay an hour or so before arriving at the house whilst on a recent tour of Scotland, and it was a gem of a find. From giving us helpful directions on the phone to find them to the time we left, we were well looked after. In fact... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night during our Scotland vacation and came away impressed. We stayed in a room with two single beds and an ensuite bathroom. The bathroom is split into 2 rooms with the shower in one room and the sink and toilet in another. Both rooms are spotless and the water pressure was fantastic.... More

Thanks for taking time to post a review. We appreciate the feedback, especially the suggestion about the shower rack. It's really helpful for us to hear about the little improvements we can make; it should be simple to get something suitable for this. We're sorry that the evening meal recommendation didn't work out. We have have always enjoyed that restaurant,... More

Heather and Neil may only have been doing B&B for a few months but you wouldn't know it. From the warm welcome; the tea and home bakes in the lounge; the excellent breakfast; and general "feel good" atmosphere about Osborne House, one would think they were seasoned professionals. The ensuite room was very comfortable and well appointed and we appreciated... More
