"What a discovery!"

10.0

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!

There's nothing we could write here.

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!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable room and great shower. The house is beautiful and we were lucky to have fabulous weather and sit in the garden. Lovely warm fire in sitting room in the evening too. Cathy is lovey and I enjoyed talking to her.

"A relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings with the perfect host!"

10.0

Loved the breakfast which was delivered to our room for us to prepare at our leisure. It was a bit of a surprise but had no problem with it (Really hope that other people were also accepting of this different way to have bed and breakfast). We are now both converted to museli with greek yogurt and fresh fruit! A traditional cooked breakfast was offered for our last morning which was also lovely.

Nothing! We can't wait to stay again!
