Book hotels in Aberdeenshire
Book a hotel in Aberdeenshire and start exploring the rugged and resilient coast. 17.2 miles down the shores from our Aberdeen Central Justice Mill Hotel is Dunnotar Castle. Sitting on a cliff top, the castle ruins are only slightly more impressive than its spectacular setting. When you’ve had enough history, spend some time dolphin and whale watching. Calling all bucket-and-spade types, there’s a sandy beach in sight. Head straight to Balmedie Beach. Located in a country park, it’s remote, secluded and lovely and our Aberdeen Airport Hotel is 9.2 miles away. If you’re more a city dweller, Aberdeen is the place for you. When you’ve seen the cathedral, museums and wandered the streets, our Aberdeen Central Hotel is within walking distance.
