Well!! What can I say? In all my years of staying in guest houses I have never felt so comfortable and welcome as I have here. Such a great and friendly experience. Sad to be leaving but I will certainly be back. A fantastic couple and couldn’t ask for more. Room is cleaned to a 10 every day. They go above and beyond to help and make sure you feel at home. Unequivocally the best in Scotland. I would recommend The Vaila to anyone looking for a home away from home. 10 stars ⭐️

Stayed at The Valia Guesthouse recently whilst I was working in Aberdeen. Mike and Kim were able to fit us in last minute and provided my friend and I with a lovely twin room. …

My husband and his work colleagues stayed at the Vaila Guesthouse for a period of time between 6-9 months, as they were working in Aberdeen during that time period. They had tried a couple other guest houses prior to settling for the Vaila Guesthouse. The reason they chose to stay there for such a long period of time is due to the hospitality they received from Mike and Kim. They could not have been any nicer to my husband and his colleagues. They were well looked after, the rooms were warm cosey and cleaned to a very high standard. There was times when they had an early start and rather than having mike and kim wake earlier than their routine they opted out of breakfast, only to wake up surprised the next morning to find a pack lunch outside there bedrooms. Mike and kim went above and beyond with regards to their hospitality. My husband and his colleagues said that they all made new friends in Mike and Kim.

Vaila Guest House is definitely best digs I’ve stayed in by far! Kim and Michael are so welcoming when you arrive and literally the nicest of people, they’d always go out there way to help you in any way they can. Always come out for a chat when we finished work to ask how our day has been and general chit chat, and who could forget my best mate Dixie always coming for a pamper 🐶 highly recommend!! Thanks again Kim and Michael for everything you did for us and I wish you nothing but the best for the future.

Leaving review on behalf of my company, Total Reinstatement Services Ltd. We travel all over Scotland carrying out repairs to flood/fire damaged houses. Mike is always at the other end of the phone to fit us in last minute for a room for our guys, whether it be 1 night or 1 week. He is so flexible, understanding and a real shining light within the Guest House industry. The guys who stay there have nothing but good things to say about their stay -comfortable, welcoming and it is always our (and the guys !) first choice when working in the area. Thanks again Mike, from all at TRS Ltd.

I work all over the country and Vaila Guest House is the best b&b I have ever stayed in, a lovely bed, great en suite with shower and a fantastic atmosphere while eating a tasty cooked breakfast. The hosts are lovely and really made us feel welcome. Would recommend wholeheartedly 👌
