Our family (7) was thrilled with this cozy cottage. It was all we had hoped for when we viewed the online photos. We stayed three days, cooked breakfast and dinner, and made sandwiches for the road. Beds were comfortable. Washer an dryer were handy. Only one shower, but we switched morning and evening showers. We just loved it!

Heather Cottage is the semi-detached building from the 1950s. Situated overlooking the River Dee in a peaceful yet central location. Heather Cottage provides the ideal location for your stay. Fully furnished with high-quality products handpicked and handcrafted to create a unique experience of your stay. From bedding, cutlery, crockery, and even electricals you will have the luxury of quality stylish products. The inspiration came from my passion for quality and style coupled with my love of quirky and fun items. Hopefully, you'll enjoy a unique and stylish comfortable environment that offers traditional accommodation with a Scottish flare and a modern twist. It took a year from concept to renovate and design this spacious luxury house which I am delighted to say is now ready to be appreciated by many guests who enjoy the unique ambience and style of Heather Cottage. Modern features such as mood lighting and Smart TVs in all rooms, DVD- player and even old-fashioned video player add to the home-from-home feeling which I am sure you will enjoy. The big pet-friendly family garden will allow you to enjoy morning coffee in your pyjamas without being overlooked by the neighbours!
I am a big fan of angling and can talk about it for hours. River Dee offers one of the best possibilities to fish for salmon in Scotland. I am also a passionate foodie; I collect and appreciate tasting good whiskey and wine. I am fascinated by Scottish traditions; culture and I did my best to provide high-quality luxury accommodation with a unique twist by affording guests an experience that is truly special. Having stayed in inspiring apartments I collated all the good points and born from this is Heather Cottage that provides high-end luxury accommodation. I ensured that hand-selected items complement the décor and furnishings to give my guests an unforgettable experience of staying in Aberdeen, of staying in the wonderful part of Scotland. I endeavour for my guests to have the very best in luxury accommodation, unrivalled in today's short-term rental market. It was painstaking work and planning to create this unique space over 3 floors which turned out to be a truly magnificent holiday home to be appreciated by all our guests. Come stay with Heather Cottage! Put your feet up and relax with mesmerizing fire from the woodburning stove. The bottle of good wine will await you
Heather Cottage is located on a tree-lined corner of streets overlooking the Aberdeenshire countryside and River Dee running through the city of Aberdeen and along Royal Deeside.

The beautiful Duthie Park is just a short walk away with access to an attractive and very large parkland area with duck ponds, children's play park, Winter Gardens- a large covered tropical area with fish, reptiles and restaurant/coffee shop.
