Self Catering Holiday Cottage

Only an hour from Aberdeen airport, yet a world away ...

Herons is a cosy cottage located in an enviable spot between beach and harbour in the old fishing village.

Nestling in a quiet lane, shops, pub, harbour and beach are a stone’s throw away. Winding alleys and steps encourage exploration with hidden gems around every corner.

Wildlife is abundant and if you are lucky you will see dolphin and minke whale. There are seals and the occasional sea otter and at Troup Head the largest onshore gannet colony and many puffins and other seabirds during the breeding season.

This area of North East Scotland is not yet fully discovered by the tourism industry, giving many opportunities for peaceful meanderings and delightful discoveries. It is a photographer’s dream with fabulous coastal scenery and magnificent, ever-changing skies. The wildlife is a great attraction with several nature and bird reserves in the region.

Set in the heart of the Seatown area of the old fishing village, Herons is close to the sea and beach on a narrow stepped lane between the sea wall road and the brae above.
