Deeside Hotel

Featured in the Good Hotel Guide 2011, the Deeside Hotel is set in an acre of grounds in picturesque Ballater, offering free homemade biscuits and an impressive whisky collection. The individually designed rooms each offer unique charm. All feature a hospitality tray with tea, fresh coffee, mineral water and hot chocolate. The Conservatory Restaurant serves a traditional Scottish menu, using seasonal, local produce and organic ingredients. Most of the fresh produce and herbs are grown in the Victorian greenhouse and vegetable gardens. The Deeside Hotel also features a comfortable lounge bar, with open log fires and traditional leather sofas. There is a choice of over 40 Scottish whiskies and real ales available, alongside other beverages and light snacks. The Deeside Hotel Ballater is surrounded by beautiful scenery with mountain and riverside walks literally outside. Balmoral Castle is just 6 miles away, and the Glenshee and Lecht ski resorts are just a 30-minute drive away.
