The shower was great—plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The kitchen and dining area were clean, well-equipped, and perfect for meeting new friends.

Very friendly owners who went out of their way to make sure everything was right. Excellent location and beautiful room. We'll certainly stay there in the future if we revisit the area.

This was a highlight of our road trip . A warm greeting and great explanations
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.
Lovely quaint, stately, Scottish village. Low key and very pretty, beautifully maintained, with small selection of great shops and places to eat. Gloriously clean air. Beautiful walking routes available, with unmatched views of Scottish scenery. Glorious!

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.
Honestly…as B&Bs go, they don’t get much better. Everything about the place was so well thought out that every expectation was met. From the warm welcome, to the cleanliness of the room and comfiness of the bed to the little personal touches and the wonderful breakfast. It’s right in the centre of Braemar too! Would definitely return.
Everything was great, owner and his son run this hotel on their own and they really are great and generous people! All the other stuff is great as well and are there for you the whole stay. Just perfect, really!
Sarah was a great host and knew about the hills and walks we were doing. Location was excellent and hotel was spotless. Breakfast options were excellent and food chosen was lovely.
beautiful, spacious and well equipped house right at the heart of Braemar. Fantastic access to hills but also the perfect place to relax when the weather isn’t quite so nice
