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.

Pros:

Locatie ten opzichte van het treinstation (2 min. lopen) om naar Edinburgh te gaan is uitstekend, in 25 minuten sta je in hartje Edinburgh. Prima uitvalsbasis dus.
Personeel was heel vriendelijk en zeer behulpzaam.

Cons:

Prijs/kwaliteit verhouding is scheef. Te duur.
