  • "Great super affordable place to bed down."

    Only set back was that there is no door to the garden from inside the property. With two well large behaved, but anxious dogs we had to walk out on to what could be quite a busy little section with the cafe, and then through the side gate. The garden might be secure with little dogs, but again with large breeds or more active dogs they have to many chances to billy goat over a wall. We wouldn’t have booked if we had known.

    Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry the property did not meet your expectations. I have changed the property description to include access to the back garden is via a locked gate to the side of the property. Gardenstown does get busy in good weather as it's a beautiful place to visit and Eli's ( the cafe opposite Lobster Pot ) has a reputation for it's delicious coffee and cakes . Newgound is a cul-de -sac , so has no through traffic, but it is the start to the famous walk along the Brae to Crovie so has walkers and dogs passing most days even in the winter months. As Gardenstown is a historic fishing village, the houses tend to be traditional cottages closely packed together, with little or no outdoor space . Property Owner

Your home away from home

Lobster Pot is a delightful, two-bedroom fisherman’s cottage, within the port village of Gardenstown, Aberdeenshire.

Resting paces away from the beach, harbour and a selection of amenities, Lobster Pot features a pet-friendly garden, a homely interior, and sea glimpses, ideal for four guests and their furry companions.

Park up on the roadside before heading through the stone-fronted exterior of your new home-away-from-home.

Be greeted by the colourful kitchen/diner, complete with all the appliances for a self-catered stay, where you can rustle up delicious meals and dine indoors.

If the weather allows, head to the multi-level garden to dine alfresco under the cliffs whilst basking in the Aberdeenshire sunshine.

As the sun sets, head upstairs to the first-floor sitting room, to enjoy elevated vistas whilst the log burner offers a gentle glow throughout the space.

Catch some rest from one of two bedrooms, consisting of a ground-floor double, and a first-floor twin, before awakening to a refresh in the bathroom.

Take a short stroll down to the breathtaking landscape of Gardenstown Beach, or enjoy people watching near the marina.

Pay a visit to RSPB Scotland Troup Head whilst in the vicinity, for a day of bird watching and hiking from its clifftop setting.

Travelling towards Banff, firstly stop off at the Royal Tarlair Golf Club or the Macduff Marine Aquarium, depending on your interests, before touring the magnificent grounds of Duff House, following the Bridge of Alvah walking trail, or enjoying a coffee near Banff Marina.

Round off your break by travelling towards Fraserburgh, with the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses awaiting to tour, or opt for another day at the beach at Fraserburgh Beach or the idyllic waters of Philorth Beach, before returning home for supper.

Experience the delights of rural Aberdeenshire at the Lobster Pot.

GARDENSTOWN

Banff 8 miles; Fraserburgh 17 miles; Aberdeen 32 miles; Elgin 43 miles.

The port village of Gardenstown is often linked with neighbouring Gamrie and Crovie as one community, and was founded in 1720 by Alexander Garden as a fishing village. Gardenstown borders a small sandy bay with stunning scenery flanking both sides. The village has a pub serving food all year and a restaurant, galleries and several tea rooms in season. A steep road leads you through the ancient, narrow and winding streets to the harbour where many small boats are moored. The neighbouring town of Banff boasts a relaxing sandy beach and a variety of fascinating architecture in contrasting styles, exemplified by Duff House, an impressive Georgian mansion open to visitors and home to paintings and artefacts from the National Galleries of Scotland. Banff and the surrounding area also have a good selection of shops, restaurants and hotels, which serve a fine selection of local sea foods, whilst nearby Pennan, a beautiful old smugglers village, was the location for the movie 'Local Hero'. The whole area is an ideal tourist destination, being on the North East Tourist Trail, with easy access to coastal paths and the Whisky and Castle Trails, as well as numerous golf courses, fishing, sailing, dolphin watching, surfing, climbing, great walking and of course, stunning sunsets and fabulous scenery. The Grampian and Cairngorm mountains are easily accessible for day excursions, and the North East of Scotland is protected from prevailing winds and has the driest Scottish climate with virtually no midges.
