The newly named Balmoral Arms in Ballater (formerly the Deeside Inn) has received a complete makeover transforming this traditional Scottish Inn into a new luxury Scottish retreat fit for royalty. Offering a warm and friendly atmosphere from the moment you enter the Balmoral Arms is a great choice when looking to explore the Cairngorms or Royal Deeside. Located in the heart of the Victorian village of Ballater, the Balmoral Arms is also within easy reach of Balmoral Castle, the private residence of Her Majesty The Queen.

The collection of 55 individual rooms and suites at the Balmoral Arms has been inspired by the Cairngorms. The perfect Highland hideaway, the refurbished cosy rooms offer a sanctuary after a day of adventure, with organic Scottish amenities from The Highland Soap Company. While the luxurious, stylish suites offer those who want to treat themselves, additional space to plan their adventures. The Balmoral Arms is dog friendly and welcomes well-behaved four-legged family members to the hotel.

While staying at the Balmoral Arms you are sure to sample the true taste of Scotland be it in the hotel’s restaurant or bar. The team of dedicated chefs use seasonal produce from the Cairngorms throughout their menus and work with local gamekeepers, farms and growers. After a day on the hills, kick off muddy boots and head to Ghillies Bar for ales from the area before hearty dishes such as game stews, grilled venison and kitchen specials in the restaurant. Then snuggle up on the sofa by the roaring fire with the range of over 100 Scottish malt whiskies and gins available to choose from.

The Balmoral Arms offers great late deals and special offers on short breaks throughout the year. Book online today with My Hotel Break.
