Rothesay Rooms, Ballater

If you’re exploring Ballater, make sure you take time to visit the Rothesay Rooms, a beautiful café and dining destination set within the village’s historic Old Royal Station. 🚂

With its fascinating royal railway heritage and relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to stop for a coffee and cake, enjoy a delicious brunch or lunch, or treat yourself to a traditional Scottish afternoon tea. 🍰☕️

The menu celebrates the very best of Scottish produce, with locally sourced ingredients and seasonal flavours. From Highland venison and Aberdeenshire beef to Scottish salmon, homemade bakes and locally roasted coffee, there’s plenty to tempt you.

And of course, the setting is part of the experience. Soak up the history of Ballater’s Old Royal Station while enjoying some great food and genuine Scottish hospitality.

A lovely spot to add to your Ballater itinerary during your stay with us!
