The Aberdeen Arms Hotel enjoys a nice location right on the square in the village of Tarves, putting guests within walking distance of village facilities. Many find the beds very comfortable, and the generous breakfast served until 10 is a treat. The food in the restaurant is a highlight, with options like pub grub, specials, quesadillas, chilli, and scampi proving popular; some guests especially recommend the burger stack. While some guests have mentioned spotty WiFi, most appreciate the clean, bright, and quiet atmosphere.
