Historic Lighthouse Cottages - Private Beachfront & Dolphin Spotting

Accommodation & History

These holiday homes sit within a historic lighthouse building, once the engine rooms for the fog horns. Each two-bedroom and three-bedroom house offers a private bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a comfortable seating area. Guests sleep in a former working lighthouse with the tower still operating outside their front room window.

On-Site Amenities

The property provides a private beachfront, a garden, and a terrace with outdoor furniture. Guests use the barbecue facilities and picnic area, along with board games and a washing machine. Free on-site private parking and accessible parking are available.

Coastal Location & Wildlife

The cottages are a 16-minute walk from Balnagask Golf Course and 4.1 km from Aberdeen Harbour. Guests watch dolphins and seals from the coastal path or the cafe overlooking the harbour, a short walk away. Aberdeen Airport is 13 km from the property.

Guest Services & Hospitality

The host Jeremy provides a welcome basket with bread, milk, eggs, fruit, and shortbread on arrival. Fresh flowers are placed in the cottages for guests. Check-in instructions are given for late arrivals, and the host offers restaurant recommendations such as The Silver Darling.
