We had a lovely stay at the Deeside Inn. I was looking for a relaxing trip away for my boyfriend's birthday. Ballater is a lovely, picturesque town for people looking for a relaxing getaway. I booked a Groupon which was a fantastic deal. Having stayed at the Crerar hotel in Loch Fyne I trusted the Deeside Inn would be of... More

Just back from two nights in the Deeside Inn. Our large room was clean and comfortable. I didn't like the overbath shower in the bathroom but realise it would prpbably suit a more aglle person than me or my husband. We didn't have any milk with the tea making set but this was immediatley dealt with by the charming receptionist,... More

A few weeks ago 31 members of our walking group descended on the Deeside Inn for three days and we had a great time. The manager David who had only just taken over and was in the process of training new staff was unfailingly helpful and always available. The rooms were simple but comfortable with abundant hot water(great for us... More

Despite the poor reviews we checked in for an overnight stay at the end of a long weekend. The room was basic but in keeping with a hotel of this age. There is a wonderful lounge with comfortable seating and open fire for relaxing in after your meal. Dinner was cooked to perfection and we had a very good breakfast... More

Whilst working on a fairly well known BBC programme that involves people finding out about their family history, I had the misfortune to stay in one of the worst hotels I've come accross. On arrival there was no one to check us in, there appeared to be one staff member who told us he was very busy and handed us... More

My wife and I have just had a most relaxing and enjoyable two day stay at this charming hotel. It is true that they are very short staffed but David, the manager, put in a wonderful power of work to overcome this problem. He personally served at each meal and delivered a fast and accurate service with a very calm... More

(no hair dryer ) The service in... More
