This former church has been tastefully converted, enabling retention of the original features. The Auld Kirk Hotel is the place where you can really relax and recharge your batteries. In the restaurant, high vaulted ceilings, cathedral windows and ornate chandeliers provide a unique experience in which to enjoy traditional Scottish cuisine. Very popular with guests and locals, booking ahead is recommended. Situated in the heart of picturesque Royal Deeside this fine historic former church provides an excellent base for those wishing to tour the areas in and around Cairngorms National Park. Visit the nearby Royal residence of Balmoral, travel the famous whiskey trail or participate in the numerous countryside pursuits. Hotel Rooms: 6

The hotel was clean and tidy, quite modern and very comfortable. They were flexible when asked to allow us to book into the hotel before the usual 3pm and allowed us to enter our room at 1pm. Overall the stay was fine the only downsides were small and they were - the room was a little on the cool side and the cooked breakfast was good but not very generous - we only got half a slice of Stornaway black pudding!

The breakfast was really excellent and the waiting staff very good The building was unusual and quirky but our room seemed a bit austere - quite masculine! We stayed 4 nights. The owners were not around and noone to greet you on arrival. The restaurant it seeemed was what they were interested in rather than the B&B side of the business. It felt like we were left to it - for instance the premises were locked on Sunday and we were the only ones apparently in the building during the day and at night? Also it was advertised that the restaurant would be open on Mondays and it wasn'T. This was in August when presumably it should be peak time. Nothing really wrong with the premises but it lacked the personal touch - the ladies who did breakfast and the housekeeping however were really nice.

Excellent breakfast Much too expensive. Unfortunatley we couldn't try the restaurant for dinner as it is closed on mondays. The rooms are old fashioned and have nothing to do with a church.

Good size room Fire alarm went off 3 times whilst there for two nights. Twice in the army hours of the morning. Phone also rang at 6 am. Restaurant and bar closed on a Monday. The shower is not the greatest despite a new bathroom. They need to work on the pressure

A beautifully converted church with just 6 rooms.The friendliness of the staff, and their helpfullness was excellent, and the evening meal, cooked "on the spot", from a small, but very attractive menu was fantastic. Being on the main Ballater rd. it was easy to find. I wouldn't hesitate in booking in in "The Auld Kirk" again, or recomending it to friends. It was unfortunate that they didn't supply the evening meal on Sunday evenings, especially as the weekend is a popular time for casual visitors.

We just loved our time at Auld Kirk; and Tony, the food was first class gourmet in every aspect. We will certainly recommend this hotel to our friends and hope to be back some day. Thank you, Marilyn McAnally

Very comfortable and quiet room with a degree of character. Very modern bathroom/recently re fitted. Very limited parking on site and not much space (although parking on street available not far away). Room not overly large - but a single traveller, so didn't affect me too much.
