Northern Lights Apartments
These historic Lighthouse cottages, built in 1833, are in an absolutely majestic location on the coast. They have been elegantly furnished using professional interior designers to create warm comfortable accommodation. The cottages were originally built as accommodation for the lightkeepers and their families using typical Aberdeen granite stone.
We are delighted to share our historic lighthouse cottages with guests.
Although the location of the cottages is special and feels remote (in a good way) it is only two miles from Aberdeen's city centre with its shops, theatres, bars, restaurants and cinemas. Aberdeen and its neighbouring region offers lots to do and see: castles, golf, whisky distilleries, coastal and hill walking. The bay next to the Lighthouse is one of the best places in Europe to see dolphins. Most (but not all) guests bring a car. The nearest bus stop is a ten to fifteen minute walk away up a hill across the nearby golf course.
