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.
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.

Very nice room, with an updated bath. Had everything we needed, and the location was great for wandering around town. The restaurant/bar was great, with good food & drinks.

The hotel is located in a beautiful part of the valley, with breathtaking views wherever you go for a walk. The bed was comfortable for two nights. The towels are large and fluffy. We found an amazing local guide called Eddie Thomson, his company is called Heartland Tours Ltd. I highly recommend it, it was amazing!!

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.

Clean, friendly with plenty of eateries and pubs.
Clean, friendly with plenty of eateries and pubs.
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.
I loved the location and the view. Sarah gave us a very warm welcome and a flask of fresh milk for our tea and coffee, she also had freshly baked chocolate brownies for us in our room. No evening meal so we went out to the Braemar lodge hotel and ate like kings. Had a great nights sleep and a fantastic breakfast with a view of the hills. This is a place we would come back to.
Couldn't ask for a better stay - great hosts and location. The cabin was immaculate and the hotel itself was a lovely atmosphere and felt like a home from home. We had breakfast in the hotel a few times and it was delicious. Thank you to Charlie and Malcolm for making us feel so welcome!
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.
These charming log cabins are perfectly located for exploring Braemar’s exceptional pubs, restaurants and hillwalking! They’re simple and have everything you would hope for. Four of us stayed and felt like there was plenty of space and incredible value considering.
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.
friendly welcoming host, catered to my fiancé and myself very well. surroundings were clean and tidy. location was walking distance to nearby walks and the town centre. will definitely stay again when we next travel to Braemar
Fabulous hotel in a beautiful setting ….
If you want a traditional Scottish Interior this is the place ….
Staff were very friendly and accommodating …
Food was outstanding … the chef’s attention to detail is on point !!
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.
