Pros:

My dad is 91, and this was his first break away without my mum, who sadly passed away last year. I was worried about him being on his own, but I needn't have been.

The staff were incredibly attentive, caring, and kind throughout his stay. The Garden Room was perfect for him and easy to get around in. When I visited beforehand, both the Manager and staff were extremely helpful, taking the time to show me around and assist with the booking process.

They did everything possible to make his stay as comfortable and enjoyable as they could, and we really can't thank them enough. He thoroughly enjoyed his break and is already hoping to return in the future.

Thank you all for your kindness and for making his stay such a positive experience. It meant so much to both of us.

Alright to lay your head down for a night.
Pros:

I think it's a good place to stay if you were walking the fife coastal path and needed to lay your head for the night.

Cons:

Room was hot, the bed was on a slope, mattress too hard and lumpy. Decor is a bit dated. And felt uncomfortable that the toilet is right in front of a window which didnt have any blinds or that.

Aberdour is a beautiful village and the hotel is fine for a short stay.
Pros:

We knew the Aberdour from many years ago and it is now the only hotel in the village. The new owners have done a good make over with the bar and restaurant . The evening meals were excellent. The cooked breakfast was good but continental breakfast

Cons:

The rooms are small. My husband nearly fell out of his bed - it was so springy! There was plenty of drawers and hangers which was good but this made the room even smaller. There was only one moveable bedside light to spare between the two beds! The bathroom was minute! There was barely enough room to get into the shower. We only got Luke warm water. We stayed 3 nights and their philosophy is only to refresh the rooms when asked - fine but I did feel we were paying a premium for lack of service.
