The scent of breakfast drifts upstairs while Aberdeen's granite streets wake quietly beyond the window.

This is one for travellers who want a proper bed and a hot shower after days under canvas, or those using the city as a base for exploring Aberdeenshire's coast and castle trail. The camping pod offers a middle ground if you're not quite ready to come fully indoors, though details are best confirmed when you book. Dog owners should ask ahead about bringing four-legged friends along.

It's a straightforward guest house setup, open all year so useful for winter visits when the hills turn white or spring when the dolphins are back in the bay. Campfires aren't a given here—check what's allowed when you arrive. The vibe is more town stopover than wilderness escape, but sometimes that's exactly what you need: a warm bed, a decent breakfast, and Aberdeen's harbour, museums, and sandy beach all within reach.

Causey Mounth

Follows an ancient drove road through the Mounth hills between Deeside and Stonehaven, with steep, sustained climbs reaching around 450m elevation. Challenging terrain with rough, often boggy sections makes it unsuitable for buggies and young children—best for experienced walkers with proper boots. Dogs welcome but keep close during lambing season. Rewards effort with dramatic Highland views, historical drove road markers, and a genuine sense of remoteness along this centuries-old trading route
