Review on The Glen Lui Hotel

There are wonderful views across the golf course to majestic Lochagar from this family-run hotel surrounded by two acres of wooded grounds in the heart of Ballater. Originally a Victorian summer residence, the place is now noted for its facilities and is licensed for weddings, as well as offering all mod cons for business and conferences.

The Lui Restaurant is housed in a modern extension, and also benefits from fine vistas out towards the Cairngorms. Expect a broadly based international menu that might take in smoked chicken salad with peanut and chilli dressing, baked fillet of Arbroath haddock with prawn and mushroom sauce, braised lamb shank in red wine, and old-school desserts including cranachan meringue or sticky toffee pudding.
