Balmoral Arms
Set in a national park and a 1-minute drive from Ballater Golf Club, it offers a restaurant serving local cuisine, a bar, free WiFi, free self-parking, fishing and horse-riding nearby, and accessible features like wheelchair-accessible paths and visual alarms; it’s also dog-friendly — a pet fee is listed as GBP 20 per night (another line mentions GBP 12 per night, so the exact charge is unclear).
From the moment we arrived to time we left staff couldn't have been more helpful.
We had an excellent stay at the Balmoral Arms! All the staff, front of house, behind the bar and the wee waiter were friendly and very attentive and couldn't do enough for us, making our stay very pleasurable indeed! Will definitely have another visit and would highly recommend to family and friends!
