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!

First of all: Thank you so much, Alison and Les and Teddy!
ad breakfast: a huge range to choice from. The omelette was just unbelievable.
ad room: lovely, comfy rooms. The bathroom had even a bath tub. I slept extremely well because there was no noise.
It felt like home.
Alison and Les are wonderful and great hosts. And Teddy, the dog, is just cute.
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.

Accommodation, staff, location and breakfast were all great. Nice addition of an in-house bar too.
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.
A stunning, spacious, beautifully-equipped and spotlessly clean cottage, located right at the heart of Braemar, with easy access to local facilities as well as scenic walks. The host (Gail) was brilliantly responsive, providing clear and timely advice on how to find and access the property. And the folders with information for visitors were really helpful. Complementary tea, coffee, biscuits and milk were very welcome, as was the fact that the wood burner had already been set up ready for us to light. We are already planning our next visit!
Great central location in Braemar. Lovely decor inside cottage with large spaces to relax in. The kitchen was huge and had an adjoining dining area. Showers were always hot and powerful. The garden was enclosed which would be good in the summer. Our beds were comfortable and the cottage was spotless. Great selection of books if you want to cosy up next to the fire.
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.
The cabin was spacious and comfortable, with all we needed for our stay.
We spotted a red squirrel on the croquet lawn :). The bar in the lodge isnt available due to a fire but that isnt a problem, we were literally a couple of hundred yards from the center of Braemar.
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.
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.
