"On accommodation alone, 5 stars. Staff were lovely and accommodating. Restaurant was good but just that. Service excellent but food unexceptional. Okay but I've had better. A lot of it felt bought in rather than developed and cooked on site."

"Gorgeous hotel in the centre of Ballater. Only 9 miles from Balmoral Castle, Crathie Kirk and various walks. Staff are so welcoming and accomodating. Tasteful Scottish decor with a modern twist. Beautifully decorated rooms, quiet location ensures peaceful sleep. Delicious, quality meals and breakfast. Atmospheric "Ghillies" bar, live fiddle music. We will definitely be back."

"If you are looking for peace, quiet and the experience of remote living in Scotland the White House is just perfect. Car necessary as it’s a 25 min drive to nearest town with facilities. We had hired cars which was just as well as there was no way our own cars could have coped with the terrain and the snowy weather. We arrived at 5pm - really dark outside so we couldn’t find house at first. Host answered phone immediately and gave us instructions. The house is at the end of a track which is quite bumpy and pot holed. The house is large and comfortable. It is quite old fashioned. It has lovely grounds and the views from the windows are gorgeous. There were 7 in our family staying but plenty of space for us all. The 4 bedrooms were basic but comfy beds. You cannot use the central heating but the host had left some portable radiators for each of the rooms. We were a bit a cold at times especially at this time of year (January). The kitchen is excellent - very well stocked with utensils etc so we had some great dinners cooked. There is no WiFi and the TV only works if you have data yourself. To be honest we did not miss watching TV and just played music through the Bluetooth speaker the host had left. There were lots of games too so we had fun going through these too. We went out for dinner the first night to Ballater and the drive back was a bit scary going up the hills in the dark. Many lovely places to explore in surrounding area on foot or by car. "
