Footdee is situated at the eastern end of the two-mile Aberdeen beach where you can play in the sand and surf, enjoy a bracing beach walk, watch pods of dolphins at play, or spot ships visiting the busy Aberdeen port. Within the village, and very close to the house, is an excellent playpark, a renowned restaurant and the Footdee Bar. You can enjoy a leisurely walk along Aberdeen Beach Esplanade, full of excellent bars, night clubs, eateries and decorative shops. Within a 5-minute walk is the stylish Queens Links Leisure Park where there is an amusement park and leisure centre with bowling alley, cinema, mini golf and other attractions. There are also several good supermarkets very close-by. Known as the ’Granite City’ due to its grey buildings that are brightened by its many colourful public gardens and parks, Aberdeen is located on the east coast of Scotland, about 70 miles north east of Dundee on the A90 and developed as a busy trading and fishing port.
Aberdeen is well-known for its numerous attractive parks including Duthie Park, with winter gardens, boating pond, swing park, and tennis or Hazlehead Park with an animal corner, beautiful gardens, putting green, maze, crazy golf and restaurant. There are great opportunities for leisure too, with a fantastic swimming pool with wave machine and an Ice Arena, as well as excellent golfing at the King’s Links. For heritage, you can discover Aberdeen’s close relationship with the sea at the Maritime Museum or explore the cobbled streets and alleys of Old Aberdeen which houses many historic medieval buildings. There is fantastic shopping at the main shopping centre in Union Street and two large indoor shopping centres at Bon Accord and the Trinity Centre. Beach 50 yards. Shop ¾ mile, pub ½ mile and restaurant 500 yards.

A lovely cottage in Fittie
We enjoyed our stay in the Fittie cottage. The accomadations were very comfortable, quiet, clean, and peaceful. We loved being away from the city life and spent time watching the ships going in and out of the harbor and spotting dolphins. Everything you need is a 10 minute walk or less away. Our host was friendly and helpful too. A unique seaside experience.

Absolutely perfect
Three couples shared Footdee Cottage during our weekend in Aberdeen. We were attending an event at the Beach Ballroom at the other end of the Prom. The location was perfect for us. The sea was close by and Asda Supermarket was a short distance away. Would definitely consider staying there again.

I loved walking the beach every day and watching the ships come and go. A very well equipped kitchen and cozy beds made this a perfect home away from home.
