A fully renovated Victorian Villa on Royal Deeside combining style and quality at reasonable prices. Distinctive, welcoming atmosphere, resident storyteller.
A relaxing, friendly and refreshingly different base in the Cairngorm National Park with a genuine welcome for all.
The 3 spacious bedrooms can be used in double, twin or family formats. Family rooms can sleep up to 4 children. All bedrooms have bathrooms with wonderful showers.
With maple and bamboo flooring throughout, Schoolhouse is exceptionally clean. All rooms have unique features, all are beautiful and spacious. The lounge has enormous sofas and an open fire, the bright dining room has a wood burning stove and coffee point. All rooms have traditional cast iron radiators and guests can relax or enjoy a BBQ in the large, attractive garden
Owners Alan and Cathy Low are well travelled and have excellent local knowledge. A good range of books, local information and maps is on hand. Cathy is a professional storyteller and guests are often treated to bedtime stories. A range of story services are available, from guided walks to uniquely crafted stories which weave details supplied by guests into personal stories. Storytelling often provides the highlight of a holiday and is always memorable.
As Alan and Cathy are English teachers, non-English speaking guests are often delighted to receive impromptu English classes. French and German are also spoken.
Schoolhouse food is delicious and reasonably priced. Wholesome meals and packed lunches are available, often using produce from the garden. There's a drying room and laundry service.
The delightful village of Ballater is surrounded by mountains, forests, rivers and secret glens with wonderful walks. Activity providers offer a range of high quality outdoor experiences and a golf course lies at the bottom of the road. Whisky and Castle country awaits you. Welcome!
