Served the purpose
Pros:

historic old hotel; easy driving distance from Edinburgh Airport; friendly staff; EXCELLENT dinner

Cons:

The room- it was located with a door directly outside to the beer garden and had one small window. No air movement. old vinyl sofa, fireplace with a fake electric insert. Thankfully we were there on a Monday night so it wasnt noisy outside our room.

Perfect location to see the beaches and castle with a friendly staff to help in any way.
Pros:

The staff are super friendly and helpful with suggestions
Food was also excellent
In some sort of transition? So maybe understaffed as it can be awhile to get food on occasion

Cons:

Although comfortable, my room was showing signs of wear… carpet, tile grout, bed pleather frame… but it didn’t deter from my stay. My room was above the street which is fairly busy so I’m glad I brought ear plugs for sleep

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We had to cut trip short as I had thought I had booked a ground floor room due to mums mobility. The staff were unhelpful as their was no lift. We came home 3 hours after arriving as the room was unacceptable. No WiFi in the room and the staff were not very understanding to my elderly mums needs. I explained this to the manager, I emailed also. Have not had a reply I wasn't looking for a full refund but as we had paid for breakfast for 2. I thought they would have at least replied and offered some sort of refund.
I would not go back or recommend the place

A warm welcome, and within minutes walk of the station.
Pros:

Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Helpful staff. Very nice evening meal (reasonably priced). Nicely positioned dining area, a level above the pavement, where you could look out.

Cons:

Bathroom could have been cleaner (no cover over sink and there were bits of stuff dropped down there).

Wir hatten ein paar schöne Tage in Aberdour
Pros:

Das Hotel ist sehr urig. Das Personal war super!! Das Restaurant war sehr lecker und abends konnte man noch gut in der Bar sitzen.

Cons:

Das Hotel könnte ein kleines Freshup ab. Die Einrichtung der Zimmer und der Badezimmer wirkt schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
