The guest house has a lovely feel that I’m sure tourists to the area will be very appreciative of. It’s tartan and shortbread, well mums cake anyway which was magnificent!
This former church has been tastefully converted, enabling retention of the original features. Auld Kirk Hotel is situated in the heart of picturesque Royal Deeside.

It's the best Bed and Breakfast we've ever stayed at. Everything was just perfect : the bed was extremely comfortable, the room was beautiful and the bathroom spacious, the breakfast was amazing, the hosts were very friendly and helpful.
Lovely village with interesting shops,. We enjoyed an excellent dinner at Farquharsons which we rated as the best meaL of our holiday and there was a good lively atmosphere in the bar/restaurant, with friendly staff. Easy access to countryside rides.

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.

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 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.
Cranford Guest House is perfectly placed to explore the local area, including within a very short walk into Braemar for food/shops. Sarah and Al were incredibly welcoming hosts. The bedroom, breakfasts, parking, facilities and local info were all provided to a really high standard. We'll definitely be back!
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.
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
The lodges are well laid out and and exceptionally comfy. The location is excellent and only a few minutes walk from the centre of Braemar. The owner is very welcoming and all communication was clear and straightforward.
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.
