The Gordon Guest House

What a great B and B! The owners are so passionate about their establishment and very welcoming and engaging. Lovely spacious rooms and great breakfast. There is no parking on site but there is a free public car park just outside. It is ideally located in the centre of town. Ballater is such a charming town. Highly recommend for a place to stay.

Beth and Steve were amazing hosts. They certainly know how to run an efficient, welcoming and clean guesthouse. Perfect location, and exceptional breakfast (would strongly recommend the porridge). Room and bathroom (family/triple room) was spacious and well appointed. We were even greeted by Steve on arrival with a home made piece of lemon cake. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay more nights at this perfect guesthouse and more time in Ballater itself as it’s a lovely town.
Would recommend the Alexandra Hotel for an affordable pub meal and the Old Bridge Cafe for lunch. And of course a visit to Balmoral Castle only 12 mins drive from Ballater.

Stay at the Gordon Guest House in Ballater for a taste of the real Scotland.
Steven & Beth are fantastic hosts, so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. The rooms are large and comfortable and so are the beds! The guest house is in the centre of Ballater, close to all the amenities and with access to some lovely walks.
Breakfast is a veritable feast with a huge choice.Beth even made me a ‘morning roll’ just like my granny used to make.
We were on a whistle stop tour ofScotland with some Australian cousins so only stayed one night. We will however be back again when we are able to stay longer.
I loved Ballater.

We stayed here for 2 nights, and, honestly  the hosts Beth and Steven could not do enough to make sure our visit was enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were amazing, and start early if you want to be out and about to make the most of the day. I would highly recommend, and have done so to friends and family in the area. I would give 6 stars if I could. 

Super small hotel. The wonderful greeting on arrival makes you feel instantly at home . The room (no 4) and bed super comfy . Great location with view to Royal Station. Breakfast delicious and very generous with local produce. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Everything about the Gordon Guest house was wonderful!  The room was large with great views.  We didn't meet Steve but Beth was very friendly and helpful, fun to chat with.  The breakfast was delicious and filling for a long day of hiking. They have a closet for drying boots and socks which we were very thankful for after our hike to Burn o' Vat.  We would definitely stay here again and wish we'd had time for at least another night here.  We highly recommend it!

We arrived at Gordon Guest House in Ballater after a long and frustrating drive (thanks to our sat nav acting up), on the evening of the Sunday when Queen Elizabeth's funeral cortege was moved from nearby Balmoral to Edinburgh.  

Steve greeted us warmly and got us all set up in our cozy room - the king size bed was a real luxury, as was the extra sitting space, tea/coffee service, and the spotless bathroom with amenities.  Steve even gave us pieces of cake his mother had baked!

Given that Ballater had been buried in media and royalty-related movements, swamped with police, and inundated with visitors to Balmoral, we were doubly impressed with how peaceful and quiet our digs were that rainy Sunday night when we arrived.  In the morning, we took the shuttle bus out to Balmoral to pay our own respects.

 This was also one of the few places on our trip where we found a place to eat without having to make reservations - Scotland travelers, plan ahead for dinner.

Not only is Gordon Guest house fantastic - but so is Ballater.  It's a picture-perfect little village in the midst of some truly remarkable natural beauty.

I cycled from Lands End to John O’Groats and stayed in 14 different places in 14 days all nice and some in amazing locations, but Gordons was the most welcoming, and now, 3 months later, it sticks out as being the nicest by miles.

Just stayed at the Gordon Guest House for the second time and honestly cannot recommend highly enough!  Steve and Beth make you feel so welcome and go above and beyond, nothing is any trouble.  The rooms are spacious and comfortable and have everything you would require, a tea tray, water, toiletries even a much appreciated fan!  The breakfast is superb with a huge choice, as good as any fancy hotel.  If you are thinking of visiting Ballater you could not stay anywhere better as it is right in the heart of the village and has parking right outside the door.  Will definitely be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ideal Place to Stay in Ballater

Wonderful stay

I would give 6 stars if I could!

Wonderful!

Great hosts; comfortable and quiet

Amazing hosts, cannot recommend highly enough

What a lovely place - really nice room, super welcome, lovely lemon drizzle cake on arrival, comfortable, warm & friendly - we were cycling LEJOG and cold & wet when we arrived, so we were very pleased they had a large drying room on the landing !! Delicious breakfast too - all in all a really nice friendly place to stay in a brilliant location, opposite the old railway station.
Stephen & Beth are terrific hosts - we were so pleased to stay here.  They recomded a great curry house too, which looks not much from the outside but was exquisite inside !!

Wonderful B & B

This was a delightful guest house, opposite the old railway station in the lovely town of Ballater. It was a beautiful sunny weekend when we visited with the village celebrating the Queen’s jubilee on the green. The room we had was spacious and extremely well appointed. The breakfast was also delicious with many options to choose from. The hosts are fairly new to the B and B and did everything to make it a pleasant experience. Wonderful views from our room too.
