Nice room but was very cold. Didn’t use the shower as a result. Staff was friendly but communications were spotty. Our requests for information about the area went unanswered.

Rhona was a great host, made me feel welcomed and taken care of throughout the stay

Very friendly greeting when I arrived, along with some good pointers for things to do in the area. The room was comfortably spacious, and I really appreciated the little folding chair and table, which made for a decent laptop work area. I chose a room with a shared bathroom - I thought this would be much more inconvenient than it was. The bathroom was only shared with one other room, and I never had to wait for it (and I'm not aware of the other room waiting on me, either); there was also another bathroom up the stairs if needed. The mini fridge was very convenient, and a decent tea setup. The biggest negative was the bed; the springs created uncomfortable lumps in the bed. Mostly I was able to get comfortable, but there were a couple of times I woke up in pain. Other smaller negatives: I wish there had been more places to hang clothes, rather than one peg I had to crawl across the bed to reach. It was also about a 20 minute walk to get to the main area of town, and longer to get to the beach or coast - still perfectly doable, even in wetter weather, but I wish there had been some more things to do closer to the place. I could also hear doors slamming and people talking; other guests were generally quiet and kept pretty conservative hours while I was there, but I could see it being a nuisance with louder guests. Overall though, especially considering the price I paid, I was very happy with my stay and will return if I'm ever back in Aberdeen.

Nice stay, reasonably priced, lovely people

Aberdeen was my niece & I's 3rd stop on our Scotland train trip. Unfortunately, we had received some terrible news from back home in Alaska and weren't in the highest of spirits. Rona and Joe welcomed us into their guesthouse, and were so kind, supportive, and absolutely wonderful. We ordered breakfast both mornings (10 pound) and did not regret the high quality home cooked meals. The room was not what the pictures in the listing looked like; it was even better. The bed was very comfortable, and the ensuite was updated and had everything we needed. I loved the comfortable chairs that were set up in the bay window alcove, as well as the beautiful colors and feel of the room. It was very clean, and had lots of things that we would need, like towels, hot water heater, cups, coffee, tea, dishes, and mugs. I would 10/10 stay here again.
