all are beautiful and spacious. The lounge has enormous sofas and
an open fire, the bright dining room has a wood burning stove and
coffee point.
All rooms have traditional cast iron radiators

Owners Alan and Cathy Low are well travelled and
have excellent local knowledge. A good range of books, local
information and maps is on hand. Cathy is a professional
storyteller and guests are often treated to bedtime stories.
A range of story services are available, from
guided walks to uniquely-crafted stories, which weave details
supplied by guests into personal stories. Storytelling often
provides the highlight of a holiday and is always memorable.
As Alan and Cathy are English teachers,
non-English speaking guests are often delighted to receive
impromptu English classes. French and German are also spoken.
Schoolhouse food is delicious and reasonably
priced. Wholesome meals and packed lunches are available, often
using produce from the garden. There's a drying room and laundry
service.
The delightful village of Ballater is surrounded
by mountains, forests, rivers and secret glens with wonderful
walks. Activity providers offer a range of high quality outdoor
experiences and a golf course lies at the bottom of the road.
Whisky and Castle country awaits you. Welcome!
Not all rooms can be booked online. We may still
have space - call us!
