The granite glow of Old Bank House catches the morning light just as the Peterhead harbour boats begin their rumble — you're waking in a proper Aberdeenshire town, not a field, with all the practicality that brings.
This is for folk who want a roof and a real bed after a day on the northeast coast — whether you're walking the clifftops to Boddam, chasing the Northern Lights in winter, or just passing through on the North East 250. The camping pod offers a halfway house between canvas and indoors, while the guest house rooms give you full creature comforts. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth a call ahead if you're travelling with one.
You're based in town here, so shops and chippies are a short walk, not a drive. Campfires depend on what's agreed when you arrive — check in person. It's open all year, which matters this far north when the seasons swing hard. Honest, functional, and unfussy — Old Bank House suits travellers who want the coast and the hills within reach, but a warm base to come back to.
