“The Best B&B in Dundee, or anywhere really!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My husband and I were visiting Scotland all the way from Dallas, and we couldn't have felt more welcomed than when we stayed at the Alberta! Everything about it was a treat, from Hazel and John's fantastic cooking, to the spacious and graciously appointed rooms, to the hilarious stories told around the table. There's even a little gallery of paintings and cards available for sale--absolutely charming. Tea and accoutrements are offered at every turn, and despite being super-caffeinated by our own overindulgence in them, we slept like logs in our cozy room. Parking is available in a lot right beside the house and made it easy to get in and out. I should also mention my husband and I are vegetarians and were well taken care of during our visit, not going hungry for one second. This is by far the best B&B we've ever stayed in and I can't wait to return!

“Fantastic owners, fantastic value!”

First time doing the "guesthouse" thing (I'd normally use hotels) so was pretty wary, but ended up having a truly wonderful experience in the 6 weeks I was there! John & Hazel were so welcoming, friendly & helpful. Couldn't ask for better service! Room was comfortable. WiFi was fast. Breakfast was great. It's also incredibly good value for money (especially compared to all the local hotels). Highly recommended!

“An exceptionally good B & B”

I booked my elderly Aunt and Uncle into Alberta Guest house for 2 nights as they were attending a family funeral locally. They couldn't have praised Hazel and staff highly enough for the delightful stay - the genuine warm welcome, spotlessly clean rooms and delicious breakfasts all made the stay most memorable. We also felt the stay was exceptional value for money. Hazel even offered a lift to the Railway station on departure which was most appreciated and a very generous gesture. We will definately be booking at Alberta next visit to Dundee.

“Warm and friendly home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2011

My room was comfortable, warm and spotless - superb value for money. The breakfast is cooked to order and you can have your breakfast the way you like it - most unusual based on my experience in other b&bs. The owners Hazel and John are lovely and friendly and extremely welcoming. I will definitely stay here again and would recommend the Alberta to anyone!

“Very friendly and welcoming owners”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2011

I certainly received a warm welcome from Hazel and John. It is very much a family home and I was made to feel part of it. Rooms are basic however they are excellent value; all the essentials are offered and anything additional will be supplied if required i.e. fresh milk. The rooms are clean and beds comfortable. It was a cold windy night with snow on the ground in the morning but I felt warm and unaware of the temperature outside.

Breakfasts are cooked to order while you wait, resulting in everything being fresh.
