Overview
About Auld Kirk Hotel
Historic Scottish Free Church converted to a stylish restaurant with rooms
The Auld Kirk is a restaurant with rooms tastefully converted from an old Scottish Free Church dating back to 1859. Set in the heart of Royal Deeside, within the Cairngorms National Park, the Auld Kirk is a fine example of a Victorian building.
Sensitively converted in 1986 to a small hotel , the Auld Kirk has built a reputation for good food, comfortable accommodation and a warm welcome that is the hallmark of Scottish hospitality.
A programme of refurbishment was commenced in 2006 and the Auld Kirk was re-launched as a ‘Restaurant with Rooms’ to more accurately describe the emphasis placed on the provision of fine local food and the scale and high standard of accommodation offered.
FOOD!
The Auld Kirk takes food seriously and wherever possible provides the best of fresh, local, seasonal produce cooked and presented with care.
They avoid prepared, processed and frozen food and keep menus tastily small.
In addition to using the best of Scotland’s larder they use traditional Scottish recipes, giving them an appropriate contemporary twist.
The Auld Kirk believe that eating should be a pleasure and provide rooms for those that want to enjoy their meal without the worry of a taxi or drive to bed!
