We struggled in Ballater to find somewhere that we could get my sonâs wheelchair into and also allowed dogs. We were welcomed into the Desside Inn with a ramp quickly offered and dogs welcomed.Very nice food, some decent ale, service was cheerful from the Antipodean barman, and we had a nice relaxing lunch. Nice bar area as well. Fair prices.

We had mixed expectations of the restaurant here mainly due to the reaction of locals when we said we were dining here. Bemusement. Astonishment. Sincerest best wishes.This could be a cracking little hotel if it wasn't for the funereal atmosphere and the sense that one of the guests had recently passed away - but nobody wanted to talk about the elephant (or body) in the room.The service was suitably somber, (we were one of a handful of guests at dinner), yet somehow the food provided a remarkable resurrection in fortunes. Surprisingly well prepared and cooked, with decent efficient service, even if the eyes in the painting of a Lord behind us seemed to follow us around the room.Yes the atmosphere was like an Adams Family reunion (but without the laughs), but with a little extra love and a defibrillator, this hotel could become a fabulous spot.

Entering from the snow to the Ante room we were welcomed with a log fire, comfy chairs and drinks. The service was good and the staff were very helpful. Everyone enjoyed their food which was not only excellent but also reasonable portioned. I would certainly visit here again.

We are HGVC club owners from the US and this is our first time visiting. We enjoy visiting the lounge after a day of sightseeing and relaxing with a beverage. Martin Kearney greets us each night and inquires about our activities that day. We look forward to seeing him at the end of our day.Thanks for such a fantastic review - I'm delighted you received such fabulous service from Martin and will pass on your feedback to him and to the management here at Craigendarroch. Hope to see you again soon, Colin

Great food and lovely Scottish venue. Even the waiter was wearing a kilt... not cheap but the food was outstanding. Thanks for your kind review of the Clachan Grill. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Bad attitude from the main waiter from the minute you enter the restaurant, over defensive when asked questions, too cocky with comments and reluctant to be helpful, why is he client facing?White Bait as a table nibble? Curious and I like it! Rigid and inflexible menu, no salad option. Small portions, the venison was excellent but only 2 x 2oz pieces for £30. In general the food is well presented, with professional cooking and tasty. Seasoning needs much attention as the Rib-Eye Steak was lacking flavour.Curious small wine list with no recognizable red offerings from France, Spain or Portugal. At £174 for 3 people, the prices are excessive and unrealistic for the portion sizes offered and service delivered. We rate the place 5/10 and will not return.
