Aberdeen Arms Hotel Tarland

Very tired and bathroom was extremely poor with mould around the shower and sink basin

No breakfast provision, but found elsewhere. Broken window.

Bathroom had not been cleaned . Bed linen smelled. Building in disrepair and room in poor condition

Die Einrichtung empfanden wir als überaltert, heruntergewirtschaftet und ungepflegt. Das 'Badezimmer' war in einem erbärmlichen und schmutzigem Zustand, so dass wir die Dusche nicht nutzten. Erstaunlich, dass so eine Unterkunft noch zur Vermietung angeboten werden darf. Wir können nur empfehlen diese Unterkunft zu meiden.

Das Haus ist sehr heruntergekommen und in unsetem Zimmer haben die Lämpchen am Bett und der Duschschlauch nicht funktioniert.

No food available

In a desperate need of renovation. Very shabby, and in need of housekeeping. Carpets very warm and frayed. Carpet stairs very tatty. Every where very dusty. The bathroom sink and skirting dirty. The whole place smelt very damp. The bar and restaurant never open and no staff anywhere.

Very run down and in need of a complete make over! The down stairs entrance was very grubby. Carpets frayed and a trip hazard. The bar and restaurant was never open.
Apart from booking us in, the landlady was never available.
The rooms were very basic, the beds however had clean bedding, although I wish I hadn’t looked at the mattress.
The bathroom was like a horror movie! Filthy is an understatement. The sink had no running hot water. The heater in the bathroom didn’t work. The shower was hot to be fair, but no shower door so soaked the floor, and came through the lobby ceiling we later found out!
The hotel room radiator also didn’t work. Ran out of loo paper and had to buy our own to replenish.

Could have been cleaner, no breakfast

Hygiène et vétusté globale, surtout la salle de douche. Pas de porte serviette. Pas de paredouche.
Bouilloire et assiettes sales.

Every thing would never go back ended up leaving in early hours and sleeping in me van (dont know how this place keeps open)

The staff were not particularly welcoming and asked immediately for payment which felt quite brusque. First impressions, the hallways, corridors and room appeared to be adequate for the price but are very dated and tired. After paying the bill on arrival and on inspection, the bathroom was inadequate, with dirty grout between wall and sink with a grotty sink plug. Towels were paper thin and not changed at any time. Shower was feeble and unpleasant to use. The hotel is due for closure as an official Aberdeenshire Council sign attached to the exterior on 21st July 2026, showed planning permission for conversion from hotel to three flats is being sought. Clearly, the Hotel is running down and it showed. The beds were awful - sagging and I found a long hair in my bed and instead, laid on top. No soap in the shower. Beds not made each morning. Musty smell throughout the hotel. Front door remains open all night with no staff to supervise entry. We were unable to find alternative accommodation nearby, otherwise we would have left early. We were also surprised the room was superficially serviced on day 2 but not for day 3. The Hotel is run down and staff (owner) appear to have given up bothering and are just there to receive payment - we saw no one caring if we were there of not. We suggest avoiding this hotel completely, although it will soon be closed - which is about time.

Keine ernsthaften Mängel

Wasn't clean, had to ask for toilet roll. The biscuits on the coffee tray were out of date in February. Internet not working,I had to go to local shop to get cash back to pay for the room. Never saw the owner after we booked in. No toilet roll. Very dirty place.
