Located in Ballater, within 17 km of Balmoral Castle and 46 km of CairnGorm National Park, St Andrews House provides accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 20 km from Aboyne Golf Club, 24 km from Corgarff Castle and 32 km from Craigievar Castle. Kildrummy Castle is 35 km from the guest house and Glenshee Ski Centre is 40 km away. Wonderful breakfast. It is fresh, because they dont make the eggs until you are actually ready for them. Nicest hosts, we felt so welcome, and if I ever go back to Scotland, I will definetely stay at St. Andrews house. Also, that was probably the cleanest room I've ever slept in.

Highland Wildlife Park is 13 km from Ardlogie Guest House, while Landmark Forest Adventure Park is 13 km away. Inverness Airport is 60 km from the property. It was by chance I stumbled upon the Guest House. I had booked somewhere else and realised my horror that it was owned by Britannia. I'll say no more on that. I promptly cancelled and found this gem. Kirsty was an amazing host and her enthusiasm shines through in everything she does. The setting is gorgeous. We spent a fair amount of time watching the spa drama that was the ducks and chickens wandering around. Breakfast is delicious and the fact they use their own eggs... We were both happy travellers. Rooms were so cosy, with plenty of thought put in to it including DVDs... Honestly I will be back plenty more when I can. Thank you for making our trip away great.
