We spent a week camping in the Highlands and stopped afterwards for two days in Aberdeen enjoying some comfortable beds and hospitality. We arrived by taking the bus from the central bus station. We had a really warm welcome and were shown to our room containing three single beds on the second floor. The beds were really comfy and the... More

Good location close to centre, but great for parking. Aberdeen in February, warm room, very friendly reception, proactive service and excellent food. We would have no hesitation in recommending this for Bed & Breakfast, great place to stay.

I stayed here for app12 days (originally booked in for 10 days, but were very accomodating with the longer stay and didn't make me feel that i had to pack up and go) due to my father having to go into Aberdeen hospital for a serious operation. My dad stayed here too the night before his admission and the night... More

Had a very enjoyable stay here at Arkaig. Room was really clean as was the ensuite toilet. All shower amenities was provided which is always a plus. Stayed in the twin room which might prove a little small for some people if you have plenty of luggages, like I did. Courtesy tray provided as well which was nice when a... More

Overall, we had a very pleasant stay at the Arkaig Guesthouse. the hosts were most friendly (helped us out when our car was damaged), and the room was large enough for us. The books on the landing were a nice touch. we had a room at the back of the house, so it was very quiet. The breakfast room was... More

I have been in a lot of bed-and-breakfasts in almost fifty years, and this may be the best ever. Very friendly; excellent breakfast, with super choices, including fresh kippers; sensitive to and prepared for celiacs; forgiving when my brother took his key with him and had to mail it back; walking distance to both Union Street (centre of the city)...

After a long tiring drive I finally arrived in Aberdeen at the Arkaig and was immediately welcomed by Evelyn and Charlie. Check in was quick and painless and I was shown to my ground floor room. While small it had everything that was needed - a comfortable bed, good en-suite, soap and shampoo provided. Breakfast is good without being over-the-top... More

I recently stayed for a few weeks with a workmate and cannot speak highly enough of Evelyn and Charlie's hospitality. The Arkaig truly is a home from home with great breakfasts and spotless rooms with brilliant hot showers,shampoo,soap and large bathtowels provided. Highly recommended! Frank, Ayr
