We were in Aberdeen to visit the University for a short while and Snow Cottage was perfectly located on this beautiful, historic campus. The house was incredibly well designed, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable- we felt immediately at home. Victoria has equipped the house with everything you could need. The pictures do not do this charming cottage justice, once settled in to this gorgeous space, it was very hard to leave! Victoria was a lovely host and very responsive- we will most definitely return!

Fabulous stay! We loved every minute of it. The house was spotless on arrival. The shower was a highlight for sure! Was just what we wanted for our family break

Snow Cottage surpassed all of our expectations. To say our stay was incredible would be an understatement. This is a luxury cottage with everything provided to a extremely high standard.
The bedding was better than some I've had in 5 star hotels.
The facilities were immaculate and well cared for.
The owners have spared no expense in the the appliances making it feel luxurious but also very user friendly. We honestly could not find a single fault. You'd have to be seriously nit-picking to find flaws.

The only issue would be that the cottage is on a street used by buses which can be heard when passing. These are however very infrequent and in general the property is extremely quiet both through the day and at night. Ideal for us and very restful. Lovely garden at the back also for our small dog.
Victoria was always available on the phone for the questions we had all of which had an appropriate answer for us.
Just a very nice experience. I really cannot think of anything to report here.

Great location, being a very short walk to buses going into Aberdeen city centre or out north to the shire (or even within walking distance of the city and suburbs if you fancy stretching your legs and getting a bit of exercise). Quiet, including on the weekend/evenings, despite being right next to the university. Absolutely lovely cottage, with all mod cons (great shower, especially!). And the property manager was very clear, timely, and friendly when providing instructions. Honestly, I can't think of anything negative.

Charming cottage in the midst of quaint Footadee. Beautifully decorated.
We had a wonderful stay.
Victoria was an excellent host and responded quickly when I had to contact her.
Would highly recommend and we will definitely stay again 🌟
Thankyou

If it’s available book it! A beautiful location and probably the best Airbnb I’ve stayed in. It was clean, uncluttered and perfect. We had a long stay and were offered a midway through clean which was much appreciated also.
I would stay here anytime I came to Aberdeen and be confident knowing I’m not just getting a nice superficial place to stay in, but an amazing home which is even better than the photos to stay in, thanks Victoria, you nailed it 🙌

Really nice stay in a gorgeous little village on the sea. Everything was clean, and wonderfully decorated - looked just like the pictures. Additionally, Victoria was super responsive, and gave lots of useful information. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Cosy, stylish and well equipped cottage in a wonderful part of Aberdeen. Fittee is a hidden gem; a charming old fishing community that has had a quirky renaissance. The cottage is next to the beach which is great for (dog) walks, surfing and saunas as well as walks/runs along the esplanade. The Silver Darling restaurant is a 5 minute walk and has excellent food. We’ve stayed in a few Airbnbs in Aberdeen and this is our favourite so far. Victoria was a responsive and kind host. Highly recommend.

The cottage in Footdee was even more charming than the description. There were 4 of us and the first thing we did was take a sauna(they are right at the beach) and then plunge into the ocean. Being a block from the beach was magical and being away from the center of town was also a nice respite. We are quite tall so my husband had to mind his head on the beautiful spiral staircase . The beds were very comfortable, kitchen well-equipped and the living room very cozy at night with the fire in. Not a place for people wit mobility issues because the bathroom is upstairs but you can’t beat the house and neighborhood for charm and convenience. We would absolutely come back. Victoria was a great host.
