Description from owner
Description
This Lighthouse Cottage is elegantly comfortable with 2+1 (sleeps 5) bedrooms and recently refurbished. It is in a magnificent coastal setting as part of the historic landmark Aberdeen Girdleness Lighthouse compound. You will stay in an original Lighthouse Keeper's cottage built in 1833 with many period features including working window shutters. Even the brass door hinges are originals and stamped NL (Northern Lighthouse).
The neighbouring working 130 foot high Lighthouse tower is only a few steps away across the shared courtyard. Two other properties are available in the same Lighthouse courtyard and are listed on this website.
The coastal location is outstanding on a headland south of Aberdeen harbour and unmistakably prominent when arriving in Aberdeen by air, train or ferry. Only a ten minute drive to the centre of Aberdeen and also convenient for Altens and Tullos business areas.The surrounding area is a true natural beauty spot with the dramatic coastline forming part of the District Wildlife Site. The cliffs attract a wide range of wild birds. The nearby mouth of Aberdeen harbour is one of the best places in Europe to watch dolphins playing and feeding.
And yet .... Aberdeen railway station (direct trains to Edinburgh, Glasgow, York and London) and Aberdeen city centre with restaurants, shopping, bars, theatres and cinemas are only two miles away. Balnagask public golf links is in walking distance and shares the headland with the lighthouse. It has 18 and 9 hole courses and pitch and putt.
The property has been professionally interior designed and is equipped with TV with Sky channels, DVD, free WiFi, fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher, laundry, fridge freezer and premium capsule coffee machine. All linen and bedding is included.
Accommodation is arranged across a single (ground) floor: Hallway, sitting room with wood-burning stove (fuel provided), dining kitchen, one double bedroom, one twin bedroom, study with single sofa bed, bathroom with shower over bath, Large walled grassed area (1 acre).
General: Free off-road parking, extensive walled outdoor space and garden.
