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.

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
