The Auld Kirk

Best B&B in Ballater The best B&B we have ever stayed in . Helen and Kevin couldn’t do enough for us. We arrived early with the brakes gone on our car. They let us store our luggage while we went to the little garage in the village. Who I must say that although they were very busy said they would repair it ready for picking up the next day. The Auld Kirk itself was absolutely amazing steeped in history , the decor was down to a fine tune it just took your breath away . The room was so clean the housekeeper was also lovely . I arrived cold and let’s just say that’s another story but the Auld Kirk will know what I mean. You had everything you needed. Breakfast was another extremely high standard and nothing like we have had before. Helen is the most amazing cook and you had an afternoon tea setting for breakfast, with homemade pastries , along with fresh fruit which included a beautiful bowl of fresh strawberries and other fruit, plus cereals and a cooked breakfast. I cannot rate the place high enough if ever you are in Ballater you must stay here .

Très originale chambre d'hôte dans une ancienne église réaménagée dans le charmant village de Ballater. Emplacement idéal pour du tourisme dans cette région. Chambre bien meublée et confortable, salle d'eau suffisamment grande. Accueil du maitre de maison très chaleureux. Petits déjeuners servis à table, parfaits.

The owners Helen and Kevin are amazing people and took a lot of time to chat and answer questions. The Auld Kirk was the best part of our Holiday. The rooms are large and well furnished. The bathrooms are completely updated and luxurious. The included breakfast was easily worth 30 pounds per person. We can’t recommend more.

Wow wow wow. We have stayed in 10+ places on our trip and the Auld Kirk was easily the best. Wonderful hospitality from Kevin and Helen, very unique building with tons of charm and character, great food and very modern conveniences (bathroom/shower, coffee etc). If you’re even thinking about it just book this place.

Beim Eintreffen konnten wir uns erst mal gemütlich mit dem super netten Gastgeber auf der Couch unterhalten. Danach gab es auf dem Zimmer einen Empfang mit Keksen und Whisky. Das Frühstück war sensationell, am besten die selbst gebackenen Scones und Muffins von Helen. Wir haben uns total wohlgefühlt und können das B&B bestens empfehlen.

Arrival time is between 4 and 7. Helen welcomed us, explained clearly the facilities and the best places for an evening meal nearby. Room was very well appointed and a home cooked breakfast was delicious. Slightly more expensive than other places on our tour but well worth the difference
