Amid tall trees on a hillside, the Darroch Learg is everything a Scottish country house hotel should beGilbert Summers, Fodor's
A celebrated Highland retreat close to Balmoral

The Darroch Learg is everything a Scottish country house hotel should be: relaxing and regal, the house was built in 1888 as a country residence on Royal Deeside, and stands in four acres of tall trees on the side of a rocky hill... More About Darroch Learg dominating the charming town of Ballater. This vantage point gives panoramic views over the golf course, the River Dee and the Balmoral estate to the Grampians and Lochnagar. Another five bedrooms are in the adjacent mansion of Oakhall, built in Scottish baronial style in 1880 and perfect for exclusive use or parties. All are individually decorated and furnished to give each its own character. The dining room and spacious conservatory offer a wonderful outlook to the hills of Glen Muick. When it's time to dine, enjoy a modern Scottish dinner menu created using the finest fresh ingredients - Aberdeen Angus beef, Scottish lamb, local game, fresh fish and seafood. The award-winning wine list is exceptional, too, with more than 200 bins to choose from! Outdoor activities in the area include bird watching, clay pigeon and game shooting, gliding, golf, hang gliding, hill walking, riding and pony trekking, loch and river fishing, mountain biking and skiing. The area is also justly famous for its castles, the Highland Games, Royal Deeside and Balmoral Castle.
