Cove Bay Hotel  

On a windswept peninsula overlooking the North Sea in the south of Aberdeen, Cove Bay Hotel is a small, sea-facing hotel with Early 1800s coaching-inn roots. It sits about 5 km from Aberdeen city centre and puts castles, distilleries, beach walks, golf courses, dolphin watching and sights like Union Square and the Aberdeen Maritime Museum within easy reach.

The property blends traditional charm with modern comforts across just 14 guestrooms. Rooms feature Select Comfort beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, LCD TVs, rainfall showers and designer toiletries, while public spaces include a terrace, garden and a cosy lobby fireplace — all with ocean views on offer from many rooms.

Complimentary wireless internet and free self parking keep things simple. On the grounds you’ll find a picnic area, garden and terrace to soak up sea-breeze mornings, plus laundry/dry cleaning and a safe-deposit box. There’s also a banquet hall and limited room service when you prefer to stay in.

Free Wi‑Fi across the hotel and a banquet hall for meetings or events. Onsite parking makes arrivals and departures easy.

The Cove Bay Pub serves regional cuisine with ocean views from the bar/lounge and offers room service during limited hours. Full breakfasts are available for a fee on weekdays (7:00–9:00 AM) and weekends (8:00–10:00 AM).
