A lovely cottage in Fittie
We enjoyed our stay in the Fittie cottage. The accomadations were very comfortable, quiet, clean, and peaceful. We loved being away from the city life and spent time watching the ships going in and out of the harbor and spotting dolphins. Everything you need is a 10 minute walk or less away. Our host was friendly and helpful too. A unique seaside experience.

Absolutely perfect
Three couples shared Footdee Cottage during our weekend in Aberdeen. We were attending an event at the Beach Ballroom at the other end of the Prom. The location was perfect for us. The sea was close by and Asda Supermarket was a short distance away. Would definitely consider staying there again.

I loved walking the beach every day and watching the ships come and go. A very well equipped kitchen and cozy beds made this a perfect home away from home.
