Traveller reviews

“What a discovery!”
11 Oct 2024
What a discovery! We have fallen in love with the Schoolhouse and the area around Ballater. It exceeded our expectations of how lovely the Schoolhouse would be. Room No3 was the perfect place for us to stay. It felt like a beautiful home for the time we spent there. Cathy and Alan have been such lovely, welcoming, helpful and warm hosts! We decided on breakfast in our room instead of warm breakfast and Cathy made is a huge basket every day. When we came back from our road trips we found everything already in our room. The bed was sooo comfortable we would have liked to take it home with us. Every shop, restaurant and bar could be reached within a few minutes walking distance. We had dinner at The Balmoral Bar a few times and the food was excellent - the staff was absolutely great, too. We couldn't end up in a bettter place than the Schoolhouse!

“Great location, welcoming host and lovely breakfast!”

We stayed 2 nights at the Schoolhouse and it was the perfect base for some trekking nearby. Kathy was very welcoming and prepared a lovely tray of breakfast things each day. The bed was incredibly comfy!

So well located with friendly, helpful hosts! Room large and well appointed. Had an accompanying lounge with a fire that was so cosy! Such beautiful weather we were able to enjoy the small deck attached to our room too. Breakfast was lovely!
