No 45 Guest House  

In the heart of Ballater, set in an acre of gardens and just a five-minute walk from the town centre. Ballater Golf Club sits nearby and Balmoral Castle is about 6 miles away. Glenshee and Lecht ski resorts are roughly a 30-minute drive — a great base for skiing and hill walks.

Individually designed rooms each offer their own charm and a hospitality tray with Scottish biscuits, tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Public spaces include a leather‑sofa lounge with a log fire in winter and a library with books and games. Breakfast is served in a bright conservatory, and many rooms look out over the gardens and surrounding hills.

On-site restaurant, picnic and barbecue areas, laundry service, on‑site parking and an elevator for accessibility. Surrounded by mountain and riverside walks for outdoor days and easy access to nearby skiing. Free Wi‑Fi keeps you connected.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property and on‑site parking to make short work of travel logistics.

Breakfast in the conservatory from 08:00–09:30 features a cooked‑to‑order full Scottish breakfast, traditional porridge and a range of cereals, homemade granola, fruit and yogurts. An on‑site restaurant serves other meals for guests who prefer to stay in.
