White Croft - A cosy coastal retreat

Nestled in the picturesque East Aberdeenshire fishing village of Johnshaven, White Croft is a lovingly curated, single‑storey detached cottage with over 300 years of history - a place where seaside serenity meets thoughtful touches that make every guest feel instantly at home. Located around 25 miles south of Aberdeen, it sits along the scenic coastal route leading north through some of Scotland’s most dramatic landscapes.

For those wishing to explore further afield, Royal Deeside is just a short and beautiful drive away, offering access to historic castles, grand estates, and the heart of whisky country - an ideal extension to your coastal escape.

This two‑bedroom retreat enjoys tranquil, panoramic sea views, with every room bathed in natural light and oriented towards the shoreline. Outside, a spacious private garden and charming summerhouse provide the perfect place to unwind and take in the breath‑taking coastal scenery.

Just a short stroll from the cottage, the village offers everything you need for a relaxed getaway: the friendly local pub serving freshly caught seafood and shellfish, the cosy Hidden Treasure tearoom, a delightful craft shop filled with local creations, and the well‑loved Lobster Shop. For a leisurely afternoon, the nearby park with its putting green adds yet another touch of charm to this welcoming coastal community.

🛏️ Sleep Soundly in cosy, coastal-inspired bedrooms with plush linens and calming hues.

🎲 Unwind Together with board games, curated for laughter and connection.
