Tastefully appointed bed and breakfast in Ballater
We had just spent 2 nights at the Fairmont in St. Andrews, so we were ready for something a little cozier. The Auld Kirk is a renovated church in the quaint town of Ballater, near Balmoral Castle. The rooms are small but nicely decorated. We have 3 kids, so we needed 2 rooms. The rates were quite reasonable, and we could walk to town in 5 minutes.The breakfast was delicious - it was served in a beautiful dining room, loved the decor. There was a cold buffet with fruit, cheese and freshly baked muffins, as well as hot dishes made to order.I would definitely recommend the Auld Kirk - thanks for the hospitality!

excellent unique small hotel with great service
I found this hotel when planning a trip to the Cairngorms to ski. I decided on Ballater as there are shops and restaurants places to walk round in the village if the snow was poor. This converted church is fabulous, it is so unique with much of the church features incorporated into the rooms. The owner was so helpful with info about the surrounding area and where to walk and where to go. He even checked the roads each morning to see if the ski resorts were open. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. This is definitely a hotel in its own right, although I was sorry to see that they have closed the restaurant and bar as the judging by the quality of breakfast the food must have been excellent. If you're up in or around Ballater definitely stay here purely for the unique nature of the place and the excellent service.

Overnight stay
I recently stayed here for one night as my husband had to be in Ballater for work.The booking was a bit last minute and we weren't sure what to expect but the Auld Kirk was easy to find, straightforward to check in to and the room was nice. Some parts of it looked a little tired but it was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was lovely and seemed to have been recently refurbished too.Breakfast in the morning was a surprise. There was a very tasty looking continental selection but we both opted for the full Scottish breakfast. It was very good and the lady who served us was very chirpy and helpful. We would be happy to recomment this to others and return again in the future.

Not sure John Knox would approve, but I do...
You can't fault it. A building with character and charm (a converted church). A warm welcome. Cheerful staff delivering a fresh, modern dining experience at breakfast. Tasteful interior decoration. And a short walk to the pubs of Ballater.All of this must pain the po-faced former owners of this establishment.....

Perfect for a getaway
Very friendly welcome and service throughout our stay. Well appointed and comfortable rooms all topped off with an excellent breakfast. It's a shame that their restaurant is no longer running as that reviews on here and accolades on the walls of the hotel reception demonstrate that it must have been pretty special. However, it's only a short walk into town with a number of restaurants to choose from.
