This hotel was recommended to us by family who have visited a few times. We stayed a couple of nights in one of the pine rooms which are an annex in the hotel grounds. The room was toastie warm, spacious, very clean and with a very comfy bed (twin beds zipped together but you wouldn't really know). The family are... More

I stayed for one night at the Glen Lui, the snow had wreaked havoc so I pretty much had the hotel to myself but nevertheless the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating and looked after me very well indeed. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and would be more than happy to re-book should I be working... More

My wife and I stayed for one night after a long day of hill walking. Really nothing we didn't like about this place. We had a beer on the deck overlooking the golf course when we arrived after our hike then headed to our room to clean up for dinner - we got a suite on the top floor, good... More

Very much a family affair where the Bells take an interest in their guests. More

Stayed with the wife and 1yr old son. Staff couldn't be more helpful, Wonderful views, lots of red squirels and deer running about. Room was clean and well looked after. Paid £22 each for a two course meal. Worth every penny. Best meal we've ever had anywhere! Gordon Ramsay eat your heart out!! More

Had a fabulous meal here on Saturday. Local produce cooked to a very high standard, lovely friendly staff, great views overlooking the golf course and reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back. If you're in Ballater ask for directions to it - its tucked away a bit!! More

If you get a chance, visit the returant at this hotel. Lovely staff, great food and very nice all round experience. More
