Welcome to your stay

The in Aberdeen are a set of fantastic apartments, found in the grounds of the historic Aberdeen Girdleness Lighthouse. There are three cottages to choose from in this stunning location, all set amongst the walled compound that share a courtyard. Although it is now remotely operated, the lighthouse is a 130 ft. tower that still serves as a safety beacon.

The nearby coast is one of the best places in Europe to see dolphins.

All the cottages come with premium brand bed linen and towels, and premium branded toiletries provided as part of your stay

No 1 Lighthouse Cottages Aberdeen three bedrooms (sleeps 6)

This apartment has three bedrooms; two double bedrooms and a twin bedroom and is on the ground floor with a sitting room, dining kitchen and bathroom. The cottage comes with a weekly clean included the price. The sitting room has a lovely fireplace with a wood burning stove and wood provided to keep you warm on those cold Scottish nights.

The cottages are set on a headland just south of Aberdeen harbour and they are just a ten-minute drive from the city centre where guests can find a shopping and leisure mall, the railway station, the ferry link, and the harbour. In walking distance is Balnagask public golf links, an 18 and 9 hole golf course that shares the headland with the lighthouse.

Further afield, the surrounding areas form part of the District Wildlife Site and have a dramatic coastline. The cliffs attract a number of birds and it is common to see dolphins swimming out to sea. The mouth of the Aberdeen harbour is known as one of the best places in Europe to see dolphins. There is no shortage of things to do in this beautiful part of Scotland and certainly no shortage of magnificent hikes along a wonderful coastline.

    Nice apartment, with an improvement needed in the bathroom.Show original

    A pleasant stay in very functional accommodation. Despite its proximity to the industrial ports, the location was still magical. One improvement would be welcome, however: the addition of another bathroom or a separate toilet for easier use. Indeed, a single room for six people is insufficient. I would have liked to communicate directly with the owner, but we did not meet him during our stay.
