What guests think

At Aberdour Guest House, travellers highlight friendly, accommodating hosts and a convenient, quiet location near the town centre and rail stations, alongside consistently praised cooked breakfasts, though some rooms feel dated and a few mattresses and showers need attention.

Cleanliness is generally good, with several reviews noting very clean rooms, though a few mention dust and untidy common areas. Guests frequently mention good value for money and on-site parking, but there is no lift and some rooms are up many stairs; overall, expect a good-value stay with practical comforts.

Only fault wee had was it was on top floor up over 30 steps a lot for over 77 year old. Mattress needs updating But service and extra large breakfast made up for small complaint

Room was shabby and very dusty - probably not been stayed in for a bit and not cleaned? The bed sheets were clean though. The staff were very friendly and quite helpful, but the downstairs including reception and several other visible areas were extremely messy with piles of clothes everywhere. It was ok for the price but needs some attention.

Bedrooms & decor of good quality, (though mattress had seen better days) but peripherals could benefit from attention -just one eg waste bin outside entrance full of butt ends & planters would benefit from sprucing up, breakfast area uninspiring & a bit tatty around the edges Potential of being really nice stay with a bit more tiding up & attention to detail.

Amanda, the hotel owner was friendly, kind, helpful and understanding. She searched for more taxi numbers online for me as the numbers I had called earlier stated no taxi was available due to being on Sunday. She even went on to say if no taxi (taxis on Sundays are difficult to get) she would drive me to my destination from 9:30am when the breakfast time would be over. This is a good act of kindness. Fortunately, I was able to get a taxi at 9am who took me to my destination.

I was up here on business, I had a very comfortable stay, bed was very comfy, be honest best nights sleep ive had for a while. Staff were very accomodating, even a small issue was no problem at all. They have a lovely dog that was very soft and friendly. I love animals so made a new friend with him. I would recommend to stay here very central, great price. Very clean.
