The breakfast was amazing. The location was so central. Our host couldn't do enough to ensure that we had everything we needed. Ballater is such a beautiful village, my daughter and I would come back in a heartbeat.

Beautiful place, comfortable rooms, everything very clean. We especially liked the room where we had breakfast, with a view on the lovely garden. The breakfast was delicious too.

Kildrummy Inn promises a harmonious and charming experience. Generally, statements on websites are overstated, but I would say in the case of Kildrummy Inn, they can not fully explain the whole gratifying experience. The staff is very helpful, the whole interior design is just so completely >right<, the food is delicious and the rooms, though small, have all little details checked. That's all just facts though, the whole feeling of the place is just soothing. Great experience, would recommend and we're definitely coming back!

This was the best stay of our roadtrip in Scotland! I cannot recommend this place enough, Sarah our host was so kind and you can ask her so many things about the Cairngorms and all the animals living there! Thanks to her I saw so many deers and squirrels!
