Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire

Located on the scenic Aberdeenshire coastline, just two miles from the bustling city center of Aberdeen, 2 Girdleness Lighthouse offers a unique opportunity to stay in one of the original lighthouse keeper's cottages. This charming property, nestled within the historic walled compound of the Aberdeen Girdleness Lighthouse, features a comfortable ground floor layout suitable for up to five guests. With its gas central heating, a cozy lounge equipped with a wood burner and Smart Sky TV, and a well-appointed kitchen/dining area, the cottage blends modern amenities with historical charm. Additional spaces include a study with a single sofa bed, a king-size bedroom, and a twin bedroom boasting views of Aberdeen and the bay.

The lighthouse itself, designed by Robert Stevenson, is a Grade A listed building recognized for its architectural and historical significance. It stands majestically nearby, its rotating beam guiding ships safely at sea.
