Seaside Fisherman’s Cottage | Gardenstown

A historic fisherman’s cottage just steps from the sea on Scotland’s spectacular Moray Firth coast. The Conners is a beautifully restored coastal cottage in the harbour village of Gardenstown on the Aberdeenshire coast. Renovated by an award-winning architect, it blends traditional character with modern comfort to create a warm seaside retreat. Enjoy peaceful coastal walks, abundant wildlife including dolphins, seals and seabirds, and cosy evenings beside the wood-burning stove. The space The Conners comfortably accommodates up to four guests across two bedrooms. Upstairs you will find a master bedroom with a double bed, offering views across the waterfront towards the beach. The second bedroom features a small double expanding day bed, providing flexible sleeping space for additional guests. The bathroom includes a modern walk-in shower, ideal for refreshing after a day exploring the coastline. Downstairs, the cottage offers a welcoming living area centred around a traditional wood-burning stove, creating a cosy and relaxing atmosphere during cooler evenings. A fully fitted kitchen and dining area provides everything needed to prepare and enjoy meals using the excellent local produce available along the Aberdeenshire coast. WiFi and television are available if required, though many guests prefer to switch off and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of the sea just moments away. Guest access Guests will have full private access to the entire cottage during their stay. The Conners is a fully self-contained property, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the space at their own pace. The cottage includes a private living area, kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms exclusively for guest use. The coastline and harbour are only a short walk from the cottage, providing immediate access to coastal walks, beaches and wildlife watching along the Moray Firth. Other things to note Gardenstown is a traditional historic fishing village with narrow streets and cottages built into the hillside overlooking the harbour. Parking is available nearby within the village a short walk from the cottage. The Moray Firth coastline is only moments away, offering excellent opportunities for coastal walks, wildlife watching and exploring the beautiful Aberdeenshire coast. As with many historic coastal cottages, the stairs inside the property are quite steep, and the cottage may therefore be less suitable for guests with limited mobility or very young children. Guests should also note that, as with many traditional fishing villages, some streets are narrow and access is best on foot once parked nearby.
