    A very scenic town centre.

    A very scenic town centre. A good supermarket and several specialist shops (bookshop especially) . just try and avoid the sweetshop (far too tempting) Several nice restaurants and an excellent fish and chip shop. Bike hire by the old station and easy routes along the old line.

    Ballater is a lovely village.

    Ballater is a lovely village. Very clean and tidy as you would expect being so close to Balmoral Castle. Beautiful hanging baskets outside the shops Plenty of cafes and gift shops. Lovely village green around the Church in the centre of Ballater with seating areas . Free car park and free parking around the Church. Lovely village to visit or stay. We stayed overnight at The Barrel before visiting Balmoral Castle the following day.

    It has been the most wonderful and comfortable place we have stayed in on our trip we had been away for 4 weeks and this place by far the very best. Homemade cakes and a great breakfast. Highly recommend to everyone to stay, but you should stay a minimum of two nights.

    We like just about everything about the Auld Kirk and its hosts. The building itself is full of character, really nicely converted from church to hotel and a short walk into central Ballater. The hosts were particularly friendly and helpful and shared local knowledge with us. The breakfast was generous and the hot dishes were freshly cooked to order, we took leftovers with us on the 7 Bridges Walk for morning tea.
