I spent 2 nights at this cosy, family run Bed and Breakfast and would highly recommend it. The owners, William and Geraldine are warm and welcoming. My room was comfortable, quiet and very clean. Breakfast was lovely including freshly cooked eggs and bacon, with cereal, toast, fresh fruit, yogurt etc. The location is very convenient for the University, beach and town centre.

The guest house was ideally suited for the town of Aberdeen and very close to the beach. We met William who was so pleasant and helpful. His breakfast was freshly cooked and plentiful. The family room was situated in the adjacent property that is part of his guest houses. We were located at the rear of the property which was very quiet, lovely and clean and fresh. The bathroom was really well equipped and the tea making facilities were well stocked. If we goto Aberdeen again we will definitely stay in this guest house.
