Top Ballater Hotel Reviews

Nethybridge Hotel

Nethybridge Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great service from the moment we stepped into the lobby. Friendly, attentive and helpful staff that make the best of a building that has seen better days. Our room was clean, spacious and with a comfortable bed. Coffee and tea making facilities were in good working order and with plenty of good quality supplies of teabags, coffee sachets and sugar. When we needed more milk, we were given a good handful of pods, no questions asked. The dinner was very good, the dining room clean and the service attentive and pleasant. I hope that whoever runs this hotel manages to keep those levels of service while renovating and updating the building which is now well overdue. We would repeat the experience if we needed accommodation in that area again."
