The Auld Kirk

This place was by far the best b & b that I have stayed at. The owners very really friendly and helpful. The place was beautifully clean and had everything laid on in the bedroom that one would need. The breakfast was delicious with us asking for crispy bacon which was provided and to top it all we were given a bag of freshly baked goodies to take away with us.

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 .

We had a lovely stay. Beautiful old church. Rooms really comfortable and well equipped, thoughtful extras provided, beds even more comfortable! Slept very well. Kevin and Helen are very welcoming. Breakfast was fantastic. Freshly cooked and home made pastries. Thank-you, we would love to return!

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.

Thank you Helen and Kevin for your hospitality. It was a joy to stay at your B & B. Nice touch to have a few complimentary drams in our room. Everything was clean and tidy. The breakfast was excellent, even including delicious home made scones. Highly recommended.

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
