An Aberdeenshire hostel has become the region’s first to be granted a top award from a national tourism body.
After achieving a 5-star award at their first ever grading visit, Ballater Hostel is now the only one in Aberdeenshire to hold the exceptional VisitScotland award.
The 25-bed attraction is located in the centre of the town, and attracts many of the walkers and outdoor enthusiasts who come to enjoy the Cairngorms National Park.
Jo Robinson, regional Director at VisitScotland said: “I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to Ballater Hostel on attaining such an outstanding award from VisitScotland – very well-deserved.”
