The general ambience and atmosphere. The food was good and the bar had a good choice of beers. The person who checked me in was helpful in that he locked my bike securely in the cellar.

It was exceptional in every single way. Would n change a single thing.
This former church has been tastefully converted, enabling retention of the original features. Auld Kirk Hotel is located in the heart of picturesque Royal Deeside.

A wonderful and cozy place to stay in Balleter. The host was friendly and briefed us on the do's n don't while staying there. The room was neat and clean. We appreciated very much the welcome pack of cookies and the taste of local whiskey. Breakfast was fantastic and cooked as requested from the menu. A good variety! Checking in and out was easy at the reception. A close walk to the town center.

Braemar is in Royal Deeside.
Braemar is in Royal Deeside. It is a small, picturesque village loved by walkers and tourists alike. Rightly proud of its history and royal connections.. it has lots to offer. It is the gateway to the Cairngorms, quaint local gift shops and lovely restaurants and bars. You can choose then to take the scenic route over the hills to Perth via Glenshee ( take a tour of the local gin distillery at Persie ) or take the coast road via Ballater, Aboyne and Banchory to the city of Aberdeen. We certainly enjoyed our visit and plan to return next year.

Best food and pub for me was Moorfield House Hotel. A little tucked away but worth the effort.
Loads of walking from local strolls to mammoth Munro hikes.
The countryside and wildlife is fantastic.

Hostel squirrels and cleanliness were great.
Hostel squirrels and cleanliness were great. Fife Arms is amazing to go to for food or drinks. I rode my horse in the Mar Estate which was fabulous. The Braemar Gallery is great and have a concert in house once a month. Everything in walking distance from the hostel
Slight lack of atmosphere in the evening in the hostel
I had a memorable stay at this cosy guest house, lovingly run by Sarah and Al. My room with a mountain view was just perfect. It was spotlessly clean; with all the amenities you can think of, i.e. comfortable bed, modern bathroom, coffee/tea facilities, etc. The hearty breakfast gave me energy to explore Braemar and surroundings each day. I was greeted with coffee and brownie baked by Sarah, and Al thoroughly explained the different hiking trails in the area. Morning chats with Sarah were a pleasure. Cannot recommend it more.
The location was ideal, just on the outstirts of Braemar, very quiet but easy walking distance of town centre.
The facilities were good, comfortable and very clean.
The breakfast was one of the best I've ever had, perfect for the morning after watching England beat Germany.
Location was superb - right in the middle of Braemar and all its amenities. We didn't have to get in the car again for 2 days as there were so many wonderful places to explore on foot and on 2 wheels. Stunning scenery and so much history.
Great high quality chalet style cabins right in the centre of Braemar. Everything was right on the doorstep of the cabins, they were spacious, clean, dog friendly and very comfortable. Highly recomend.
Property was very spacious well maintained, exceptionally clean. Very well stocked, spacious kitchen. Plenty of firewood, kindling etc for the wood burner. The location is perfect.
Sadly 24 hours after we left, this lovey hotel burned to the ground.
Further comments would be pointless.
Best wishes and good luck to the owner Malcom and his family.
Perfect location in braemar near linn of fee. Very clean and comfortable. Every need catered for by lovely host! Would highly recommend and definitely stay again!
