Amazing Location, Friendly owner , Stunning Room fantastic price. Nothing to not like.

Elaine, United Kingdom

The owners were fantastic hosts, very friendly and had lots of information about anything we wanted such as transport, shopping, the local area etc. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the beds were very comfy. The breakfast was very good and the location was superb, not too long of a travel into Edinburgh on the bus and minutes away from the beach. Would definitely recommend!!!!

Lauren, United Kingdom

The decor in the room is very tasteful and well chosen. Tea, coffee and biscuit also provide in the room. The property is a 5 minute walk from the beach which is a really nice beach, and there is free parking! The host is also really lovely and helpful and gave us some great tips of where to visit. The breakfast was also really good, well presented and tasty.

Jacqueline, United Kingdom

The guest house was beautiful and the host was very friendly and felt like we had met up with an old friend. The room was spacious clean and warm and the bed very comfortable. Eateries are within walking distance which isn't always the case and a bonus meaning we didn't have to drive to find somewhere the eat. All in all I would not hesitate to recommend Abercorn Guest House.
