Ok
Pros:

The food was great, so good! The bar area is really nice. Very dog friendly.

Cons:

It was really hot and when window open I got smoke in from beer garden underneath me into room. The room I felt was expensive for what you got. One person working there was very friendly and nice who served breakfast 2nd morning and they were not all like that.

Hyggelig familiedrevet hotell
Pros:

Veldig god frokost. Superhyggelig betjening og svært god middag i restauranten

Cons:

Badet var litt slitt og døren vanskelig å lukke. Kunne vært bedre vedlikeholdt og noe bedre vasket

Pros:

L'accueil et la sympathie du personnel.
Un staff très disponible.
L'emplacement de l'hôtel, Aberdour est une petite ville très jolie, un pub très proche de l'hôtel avec des propriétaires très accueillants.
Le petit déjeuner typiquement Ecossais

Cons:

La propreté des chambres : à notre arrivée le ménage laissait à désirer. Il n'a pas été fait pendant la durée du séjour et notamment le remplacement des serviettes et les poubelles.
La chambre 24 ne fait pas les 25m2 annoncés, mauvaise évacuation des eaux usées dans les sanitaires., salle de bain très petite. Mauvaise isolation, très bruyante.
Pour le petit déjeuner, si vous n'aimez pas déjeuner local, pas d'autre possibilité.

All round excellent in every aspect.
Pros:

The breakfast was as good as you will find in a 5star hotel. Only improvement might be the addition of fresh fruit.
The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient and went out to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The room we had was warm, clean and comfortable.
