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.

Ballater is a lovely little town, very close to the Balmoral Estate so excellent location if you are planning to visit the Castle and grounds of the royal estate. It has an excellent selection of restaurants, coffee shops and boutique / gift shops to choose from. Free parking in most places and some lovely walks that are all clearly marked that follow the river and circulate the town.

Ballater is a beautiful historic town.
Ballater is a beautiful historic town. It has lovely architecture, a Victorian train station where Queen Victoria used to travel to. Lots of restaurants, pubs, and the townspeople are very nice. It's close to Balmoral and was a perfect location to drive around and see the sites.

Quaint little village with just enough amenities with plenty of activities in and around the place. There's a coop shop for groceries, and some nice restaurant choices too. There's a small petrol station here as well so it's useful for fuelling up if you plan to drive any great distance. I'd happily come back here, but it's a small place so it's limited in some ways if you plan to stay for any great length of time.
We ate from two restaurants here, the New Shanghai Chinese takeaway, and the Alexandra Hotel restaurant. Both were very satisfying meals and good value for money, and I'd happily come back to both. The village is fairly small, so it's very walkable if you want to mill around and explore the pubs, shops and cafes.

Lovely picturesque village in Royal Deeside.
Lovely picturesque village in Royal Deeside. Shop fronts, the streets and the buildings are immaculately kept. Has many great places to eat and drink. Great walk along the old Deeside railway line. I went on a drench November midweek day, so there wasn't a lot happening, but the surroundings are nice. Fantastic place for solo travellers, couples and people who like the great outdoors.

Ballater is a fantastic area, such beautiful surroundings with lots to do. Lots of walking and cycling options.
The town itself has beautiful buildings and architecture.
I love the area so much, I'm looking to buy a property and move there permanently.
Perfectly located in a quiet spot in ballater!
ALL staff are absolutely incredible! I have worked in 5* hotels and the experience I had here was incredible!
We eloped in Scotland just the two of us and the staff made weverything perfect for us and nothing was too mulch trouble for us, please all remember to be kind to us hospitality staff we put our heart and soul into our work and work very long hours!
I can not rate this property enough, the suites are fantastic and so clean and spacious! We will no doubt definitely be returning!
Beautiful old church as the name would suggest. Helen was wonderful. She welcomed us in, sat with us and explained the accommodation and then arranged a dinner reservation at a local restaurant (The Angus & Ale) on a very busy night in Ballater. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic. We spent that morning at the bagpipe parade (part of the Highland Games) in a nearby town and then did a very nice hike on the grounds at Balmoral.
The location is ideal for visiting Ballater and Balmoral. Parking is easy. We were welcomed by a very helpful man who was able to recommend some eating places in Ballater which we have enjoyed the evening meal at Alexandra Hotel. Also he was able to provide us his ironing board to borrow. The breakfast was quite good and the best thing was that it was nice to watch the red squirrels at the bird feeding station!
Walking distance to almost everything I needed in the village shopping area. The proximity to Balmoral Castle really surprised me too. Well manicured and very quiet neighbourhood, exactly what I wanted for a good break. Full marks to the self-catering facilities and cottage arrangement.
The bed and pillows were super comfortable!!! The entrance etc, was really lovely decorated. Our dinner was lovely. Would recommend having a meal in the hotel. Ballater is a lovely little town/village with some lovely shops. Great location to stay in if you are going to Balmoral Castle.
Amazing hotel and great experience overall. The hotel is beautifully decorated - very cosy and very Scottish! The bed was extremely comfy too.
The couple running it are very friendly, approachable and helpful. They have an adorable dog :)
The breakfast in the conservatory was great.
Excellent value for money - The hotel was super cosy and the room I was given, was absolutely exquisite. Loved the decor, it was very spacious. But the best of all was just my experience interacting with the staff. They were so lovely, helpful and attentive.
The hotel and staff were very welcoming. The room was great. Lovely natural materials (linen bedding etc) and attention to detail. Great location and wonderful to be able to borrow the bikes for a ride in the local area before we headed off.
The location was great. Very handy for cafes/ shops. Lovely location beside river. Private parking. Dog friendly which was important to us. The apartment was very comfortable and provided everything we needed. Would recommend!
We had a lovely stay at the Gordon Guest house. Steve and Beth do a brilliant job of running a small hotel. Breakfast was fab and really comfy bed. We stay in Ballater a lot and will definitely stay again.
Super cute accommodation, really cosy and very well done with the layout and quality and design of everything, also very clean. We love Ballater so the location was perfect being just 5 minutes away.
location was wonderful. Breakfast was good with the best coffee I’ve had in 4 days of being in Scotland. Shower water pressure was fantastic. The hosts were both just lovely and helpful.
Fascinating stay in the small and cosy city of Ballater, near Balmoral Castle. Great hosts who took good care of us and served great breakfast and gave us good advice on the area.
Location was perfect for Ballater and plenty of parking. Very quiet location. Plenty of good quality pubs, restaurants and coffee shops near by. Also close to very good walks.
Never been in a hotel so clean! Lovely and very modern. Natali and Toni were fabulous hosts. Breakfast was excellent. Very well located for a short walk into Ballater.
