My wife and I stayed her in May 2008 and I just realized my review did not post. This place is very nice right near the North Sea and right on the bus line. The owner is a very nice woman and is very helpful with providing information on the area. We would stay here again and again. Very good... More

My girlfriend and I recently spent a few days in Scotland. We stayed at the Abercorn Guest House and very much enjoyed the whole experience. It is perfectly placed, just outside the city where it isn't too busy but only a short bus ride or car journey from the middle of Edinburgh. It was also a pleasant surprise to find... More

We stayed in the Abercorn for 5 nights in January. In two words it was - Wonderful, Excellent. Very welcoming hosts. Immaculate, beautiful room, large, high ceiling, lovely en-suite. Delicious breakfast with choices to suit everybody. Ideally placed, only a few minutes walk to the promenade, a short journey by car to the city, on a bus route. More

We booked the Abercorn over New Year 2011/2 The cost was £540 for three nights, and reviews were glowing so we were willing to pay for what we thought would be a comfortable and happy experience while connecting with family. We had a dog with us and the Abercorn takes dogs. However, the room was so cramped there wasn't room... More

What a lovely B&B! We were first considering staying in the city area (the B&B is a 20-25 min bus ride to the centre, 10-15 min by taxi) but since we found hotels in the city quite overpriced and looking at the reviews Abercorn seemed to be the a great choice for our Christmas stay. Let me just say that... More

One of the best guesthouses we have ever stayed in. The room was tastefully decorated and nothing was too much trouble. Our hosts were warm and friendly and gave us lots of useful information on the local area and further afield. The breakfast was exceptional, beautifully cooked and presented. The fresh fruit in the room was a nice touch, as... More

The guest house is about 15minutes front he city centre by bus, but the busses stop right outside the guest house and are very regular. Its lovely... More

Our family of 6 was so impressed with Angela, her family and the service, location and conditions of the Guest House. Had no complaints, only compliments for Abercorn Guest House. Have already recommended it to others and would return there again myself. Clean, beautifully decorated and Angela is terrific! Easy bus to and from city center. Wish all B&B's and... More
