Located halfway between the city centre (a 15-minute walk) and Old Aberdeen (a 10-minute walk), this elegantly decorated Edwardian villa is a cosy nest of hospitality, with welcoming owners who seemingly can't do enough to help their guests enjoy their stay. Popular, so book well in advance (note – open Monday to Thursday nights only).
