Wow! What a great Airbnb! A charming cottage in the fisherman’s village of Footdee, so cute that other tourists are taking pictures of it. The beds and sitting room furniture are very comfortable. The shower is fantastic, the towels are plush. It was very clean and well decorated. Thank you Victoria for this great stay.

Fittdie square is idyllic. Easy to walk and explore the food trucks nearby. Locals are friendly and the farm fresh eggs were an added bonus. Loved the outdoor seating area. This place was perfect!

Victoria is a tremendous host, readily available if I'd any questions but as she'd set everything out so clearly any questions I had were due to my own inadequacies! We'll definitely return to 2 North Square and will work around its availability. Thank you for everything, Victoria. I highly recommend her lovely cottage.

It’s a historic place & absolutely beautiful. Very closed to a superbe beach, perfect for walking & running or to go for a cup of coffee in the mornings. We had a lovely time in Aberdeen those days. We can highly recommend this beautiful house! Thank you Vitoria

We had another wonderful stay in Victoria’s beautiful home in Footdee. Victoria is very good at communicating. She is responsive and friendly, and even reached out on our day of arrival to check we were all ok. The home itself is in a perfect location. It is seconds from the beach which is stunning, along with all the nearby facilities - a play park, cafes, some shops, a cinema and bowling, soft play, crazy golf, arcades and a fairground, which is ideal if you have children! The cottage is perfectly appointed with a very sensible use of space and has everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed using the gas fire in the evenings in the living room for an extra touch of cosiness! The beds in both of the bedrooms are so comfortable, with lovely mattresses and pillows - they feel luxurious and such a treat! This was our second stay at Victoria’s home and we’ve already booked again for the summer! Thank you again for another wonderful stay Victoria!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was full of character and in a beautiful setting. It was spotlessly clean, with excellent amenities and useful information. Victoria had thought of everything, and the cottage had such a personal touch. It was full of lovely artwork of the area and we enjoyed reading the books about Fittie. We ate at the Silver Darling and the food was extremely delicious. Victoria was very welcoming and quickly responded to messages. We’d highly recommend.

Fab property in a unique location. Easy access to beach walks and the city. House well stocked with required items with a bottle of wine as a lovely extra. Victoria a great host, going above and beyond. Especially when you leave your luggage on the doorstep. Would highly recommend this traditional location, central to aberdeen.

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Victoria is a superb host and has thought about everything with books to read about old Fittie to excellent Instructions for the cooker, heating, Sonos and fire. We would highly recommend this cottage. The Silver Darling restaurant was superb and only 5 mins walk. We frequently go north at NewYear and this is the best Air B n B we’ve stayed in over the years and we’ve stayed in some lovely places. We locked ourselves out on Hogmanay by mistake and Victoria couldn’t have been more helpful so a massive thanks.
