Six of us ate dinner here on the Saturday night and it was excellent. The portions were huge. I had the haggis balls (very tasty haggis) followed by the most enourmous haddock and chips ever. Fraid I couldn't quite manage pudding. A lovely homely hotel, would recommend! More

This is a not to be missed hotel restaurant in the heart of Ballater, amid the wonderful Cairngorm scenery. Try the Whale and Tatties, aka fish and chips,and the beef lasagne - they are wonderful. More

My wife and I stayed two nights at the Alexandra as I had a business meeting in Banchory. We had a great stay - so relaxing and refreshing, with excellent and easy-going but professional staff. Great food, great accommodation, and nothing too much for the owners and staff. Highly recommended; so much so, we are back in three weeks! More

We stayed for 3 nights as part of a few days walking in nearby Glenshee and Lochnagar. After a tough day of munro bagging in torrential rain, we were drenched right through to the skin. I asked the owner if they had a drying room and she very kindly said she would put our wet dirty gear into the washing... More

Really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone. Everyone was very friendly and even our somewhat wet dog was made very welcome. The room was comfortable, the breakfast and evening meal was great on both days of our stay. Prices were very reasonable too so we were more than happy. One observation I would make is I... More
