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.

Great location right beside King’s College at the University of Aberdeen. The front door opens onto a lovely cobbled street in the heart of a conservation area. The cottage itself is full of character and very cosy. If you register your car with Victoria you can park your car in front of the house for free.

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!

Location, comfort, decor. Great communication. Some of the street lighting still gets in the back bedroom at night, perhaps would benefit from a curtain here as well as the wooden blind to prevent this.

Superkoselig delikat innredet cottage. Veldig koselig og rolig område. En perle i en ellers så grå og kjedelig by. Victoria var veldig behjelpelig og hyggelig. Vi følte oss velkomne. Kan anbefales! Kjedelig med dobbeldyne.

If you ever get a chance to stay in Fittie, don't hesitate. It's full of charm and friendly neighbors. You are right at the beach and can view the harbor. A quick bus trip takes you to city center to explore.
Victoria's cottage is beautiful. Clean, bright and cozy. The gas fireplace, if you need it, is charming and warm. The beds are very comfortable. The shower was fantastic. The little things like a heated bathroom floor, and a night light at the top of the stairs were perfect. What a treasure to find. Victoria was easy to work with and responded to questions quickly. Could spend months here for sure, if I had my dogs 🐕 😎
We had a great time, enjoyed the beach, harbor and Aberdeen in general. Don't hesitate if you have the chance.

Snow cottage exceeded our expectations. Tastefully decorated with every amenity possible, including laundry soap. No need for a car because the bus stop is right outside the door. Victoria was very responsive and provides a handbook of recommended restaurants and attractions which was appreciated. This is the place to stay in Aberdeen, no question.

Victoria is an excellent host, responding quickly to small questions. The house is lovely and the garden peaceful. The kitchen and bathroom are well equipped and we all slept well. It’s near Seaton Park, botanical gardens, St Machars cathedral and Blackwells books and a number of coffee places, as well as some interesting university spaces. Enjoyed the chips from the Bedford Fishbar.
