    The property was an ideal location for us. The property itself was lovely and gave us more freedom that staying in a hotel. The views were stunning and it was very peaceful. The hosts were helpful and informative and the welcome pack was gratefully received and definitely used.

    Nothjng we did not like but you do need a car to get there.

    We had a lovely time at the cottage. The cottage is quite unique, beautiful, very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Excellent attention to detail. Jeremy was a very helpful and interesting host. It was great opening the door to the lighthouse everyday. We will definitely be back.

    The beds were a little hard for our liking.

    The location was fantastic, sea views and ship spotting. A nice 2.5 mile stroll into Aberdeen. The cottage was cosy and well stocked. The welcome pack of bread, eggs etc was great.

    The beds are pretty hard, at least for us. So we could have used a mattress pad or some extra cushion.

    This is a super unique property so you can't compare it easily to a similar priced options. You are staying in a cottage at a working lighthouse. It's on the edge of the harbor, so don't expect to be able to just walk to dinner. But if you want something quaint and quiet and unique with the ocean only a few steps away this is for you. The cottages are spacious and comfortable with living rooms and full kitchens, bedrooms and bathroom. They are either A or B listed historic buildings and are furnished accordingly. Jeremy was an incredibly gracious host, and provided us all the basic necessities for breakfast in the morning which was a wonderful bonus and made our stay that much nicer. It's very dark at night which allows you see stars and even the northern lights if you are fortunate enough to come on a cloudless night.

    The bed was a bit soft for us but some would like that, so I would say personal preference. We liked lots of things about the property such as the little garden with seats.

    Jeremy met us at the property and was extremely helpful. The property is quite unique and in a quiet location outside the main city but with a short drive or walk in. Old Aberdeen and the parks are particularly nice.

    The dodgy areas in the city ! It felt and looked very deprived in certain areas! But I don't want to persecute it, as we personally had no problems, Just stick to the nice areas. In addition, the costs for parking and eating out are steep in the city centre.

    The location and the surroundings is something we have never experienced in our lives and will never forget. The lighthouse itself was imposing, yet quietly reassuring and beautiful, particularly at night. The host was exceptional and did everything possible to make our stay pleasant and welcoming. The cottage, formally the engine room was quirky, yet very tastefully presented, clean and tidy. The places to visit in Aberdeenshire were brilliant, we went to Petershead prison museum, the Scottish lighthouse museum, the Aberdeen University museum of zoology, (free to the public) Donnetor Castle, seal spotting and much much more. We've paid good money to go to London and other locations and come away disappointed. I'm a bit of a closet nerd and this place I can honestly say will not let you down. Just treat it like you would treat your own home.

    Good for short break but would choose somewhere with less industrial surroundings for a long holiday in Scotland.

    Nicely furnished, fully equipped. A good place to stay in central Aberdeen with a coastal feeling.

    Loved everything🥰 Jeremy is brilliant! He helped me every step of my travel to hotel. Drove from Heathrow to Aberdeen. Felt like visiting a old family friend. The house was clean and very pretty. When you travel long hours, seen in the kitchen butter, bread eggs etc.You feel you come back to your home. Highly recommend to everyone. Definitely will return next year.

    We had a absolute amazing and magnificent stay at the Aberdeen Lighthouse. Jeremy was very friendly and we had a brilliant welcome on the cottage. In our opinion he is one of the best Landlords in the World. There is everything and more that you need at the cottage. We hope we come back again,soon.
