There is a comfortable leather sofa to relax on and watch TV or read. Everything was very clean and fresh and the extra space in this room was much appreciated and... More

Great hosts. Wonderful breakfast....lots of effort put into the presentation of the meal! Great location, within walking distance of everything in Ballater. The only negative was that our room for three was too small. But this was outweighed by the quality and comfort of the furnishings, the perfect cleanliness and (to our daughter's delight) the books - especially the Harry... More

We are situated just a few minutes... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 day break at Glenernan. Hosts John and Denise were both friendly and full of helpful advice during our stay. We stayed in the superior double room which was a lovely spacious room with great views to the rear of the house. The en suite bathroom is a very good size. Glenernan was very clean and... More

This Guest House is absolutely fantastic. John and Denise will go the extra mile to make sure that you enjoy your stay. We booked late for Ballater Victoria week and got the last room available, and the room was very comfortable and well prepared. The position of Glenernan on the main road in Ballater could not be better for visiting... More

You know those dreadful self-catering places where the place smells musty, looks grubby and everything seems as though it comes from a car boot sale? Well Glenernan Bothy is the complete opposite. Fresh paintwork, clean linens and towels, spotless rooms, a comfy bed, good sized television, tasteful soft furnishings, matching china and cutlery. In fact everything you need for a... More

The setting was lovely the rooms were comfortable and very clean. The breakfast was outstanding and the owners were friendly and very attentive. The town is in a beautiful part of Scotland, we loved staying at the B&B. I emailed the owners, and they truly met our needs despite having to make reservations for six people. More
