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

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.

Great little spot. SO quiet. Very compact space but beds are comfortable and the shower is fabulous. The nearest grocery store is a 10 minute walk and there is an excellent restaurant around the corner. Be sure to order the sticky toffee pudding!
