homemade shortbread

cozy double room

outstanding breakfast

wasted whisky

tricky smart tv

The homemade shortbread waiting in our room was a delightful surprise! The breakfast was a true feast, with options that left us grinning. Plus, we had a cozy Double Room that added a unique twist to our stay.

The wee dram of whisky in the room felt like a waste, especially since we don’t drink. the Smart TV was a bit of a faff to operate.

homemade treats

cosy lounge

small whiskey

We celebrated my birthday with a lovely bottle of prosecco delivered to our room. Those homemade shortbread treats were just fantastic! The sun terrace and cozy lounge were perfect spots to unwind after a day out. A tiny downside was the whiskey dram could've been larger, but overall, it was an amazing experience! 🥂

beautifully restored interiors

original charm

wide stairs

missing handrail

shower safety

I enjoyed the beautifully restored interiors of The Auld Kirk, which retained its original charm as a former church. The wide stairs made it easy for me to navigate around, ensuring a comfortable stay.

A handrail in the shower would be helpful.

The Double Room at The Auld Kirk was spot on! Super comfy bed, and the decor gave it a nice cozy vibe. The ensuite had a walk-in shower that was great. Little touches like the whisky and homemade shortbread made it feel special. Plus, the room was clean and well-kept.

Had an awesome stay! The room was super comfy and beautifully decorated. The hosts were really welcoming and even gave us tips on local spots. Breakfast was spot on—felt like a treat! Only wish the bar had more drink options, but honest, it didn't ruin the vibe. a fantastic experience!

homemade shortbread

cooked breakfast

Perfect for travelers who appreciate quality

The breakfast was unreal, Helen served up a fried breakfast that was basically a work of art. Another highlight? The warm welcome we got, homemade shortbread waiting in our room, it.

Sure, it wasn’t exactly cheap but honestly worth every penny.
