Ballater Hostel to reopen 26th April!
March 19th 2021
Very excited to say we will be reopening our doors on Monday 26th April, 2021 – woohoo!!
In line with Scotland wide guidance we will be offering private rooms only, one household per bedroom and unfortunately, at least until indoor socialising is allowed, no communal facilities.
But we will continue to offer tea trays in every bedroom, 24-hour access, mountains to climb, paths to walk, tracks to cycle, heaps of ideas on what you can do with the Cairngorms National Park right outside our front door. Cafes will be open, pubs will be serving (albeit outside initially), we will be here with very big open arms. I’ve ordered some sun too to top it off! 🙂
