A peaceful guest house dating from around 1850, sheltered by Craigendarroch and surrounding woodland in Ballater village.

About St Andrews House

St Andrews House occupies a prominent property in Ballater dating from around 1850, sheltered by Craigendarroch hill and the woodland that surrounds the village, giving it a notably peaceful setting despite being within walking distance of the centre. The house offers luxury guest rooms alongside a self-contained apartment for visitors wanting more independence.

Run by its owners with an emphasis on quality over quantity, the guest house serves a breakfast built around local, wholesome ingredients and puts a strong focus on comfortable, tastefully decorated rooms rather than extensive facilities. Its position gives easy access to both the village shops and the walking paths that lead directly up onto Craigendarroch.

For visitors who want a quieter, more personal stay than a hotel offers, without giving up a central Ballater location, St Andrews House provides a well-regarded and consistently praised alternative in the heart of the village.
