i had a delightful 2-night stay at the aberdeen arms. the breakfast was fantastic, with a variety of tasty options. The lounge dinner was also amazing. the chef really knows how to cook! the owners, colin and alison, are so friendly and always ready to help. the location is lovely and makes you feel right at home.

The homemade breakfast was absolutely delightful and exceeded my expectations.

The shower took a while to get hot, which was inconvenient in the morning.

Perfect getaway for a family with kids

So I took a wee break with my family and we ended up staying for two nights the staff were super friendly and the food was a delight we had dinner and the portions were massive and delicious and breakfast was even better with fresh cooked options that left us stuffed. You get the sense of being at home which is hard to find in hotels nowadays.

It wasn’t exactly cheap but worth every penny.

Exceptional Friendliness of Staff

we stayed for two nights at the aberdeen arms and it felt like home. the staff were super friendly and attentive. our double room was cosy and had everything we needed. the food was fantastic for both breakfast and dinner, and the bar prices were very reasonable. the owner, collins, was especially welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

A Warm and Welcoming Experience!

During my stay, I was greeted like an old friend by the owner, who remembered my drink order. The lively atmosphere was enjoyable, despite a bit of noise one night. The cozy double room was perfect for a solo traveler, and the location is superb. I highly recommend visiting the bar for a friendly chat!

I had a great time enjoying delicious porridge for breakfast and chatting with Val, who felt like an old friend right away. The cozy lounge and peaceful garden areas were perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The only hiccup was the bed creaking a bit, but it didn’t really spoil my stay. 😊

Solo traveler needs this place

Had a lovely chat with the owner, she goes by Val, she was super polite and made sure I felt right at home. Breakfast was freshly cooked and the tea was plenty, made me feel like I was being spoiled!

It wasn't exactly wallet-friendly, but it was worth it.

everything was perfect! Miss valerie, the owner, she's super fantastic. always available n polite to help with anything. breakfast was amazin, and there's a nice pub inside with really good food. atmosphere was spectacular too, felt very comfy n safe.

Just a decent option for a weekend breather in Tarves with reasonable value. The room was cozy enough, although a bit noisy. Try to check the check-in hours beforehand to avoid delays.

The bar staff and waitresses were incredibly pleasant and hard-working, ensuring we felt welcome throughout our stay. Breakfast was a highlight, especially the exceptionally good porridge. The room was clean and comfortable, with everything needed for a restful night. the parking situation was a bit tight during peak times, which might be an inconvenience for larger vehicles. the hotel's location could benefit from clearer signage as it was challenging to find initially.

I recently had a delightful two-night stay at Aberdeen Arms. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, just like visiting a friend’s home. Every corner had charming decor that added a personal touch. The staff treated me like family, which made everything feel relaxed. The meals were a huge highlight. Breakfast options were extensive, and I especially loved the freshly cooked dishes. Dinner portions were generous and the flavors were top notch. My room was spotlessly clean and had all the essentials I needed. the Wi-Fi connection was a bit slow at times, which was a minor inconvenience. the shower pressure could use improvement. Despite these issues, I felt safe and comfortable throughout my stay.

do recommend for a weekend break

Exceptional staff, comfortable bed, coupled with delicious food made our stay memorable, especially the 10/10 dinner portions and the lovely breakfast service from Val.

All was perfect

the staff were really friendly and helpful, especially the girl who checked us in. food was amazin, dinner was huge and breakfast was ace too! the room was super clean and comfy, and it was nice to bring the dog along. definitely my fave place to stay in the area.

the shower coulda used a lil more pressure and the wifi was a bit slow occasionally.

The charming decor made me feel like I was visiting a delightful friend’s cozy home, not just a hotel. The staff was incredibly accommodating, treating everyone like family, which was so refreshing and heartwarming.

More comfortable seating in common areas would help.
