Location

Fountain Guesthouse is a quaint little guesthouse situated near the Hill of Goval, Newmacher close to Dyce.

The peaceful surroundings in the area are a stark contrast from the bustling city of Aberdeen or the hectic airport located in Dyce.

But this means that the Fountain Guesthouse is an ideal place to stay for both someone who enjoys the peaceful countryside scenery and someone who enjoys the excitement of the city.

This is because although the Guesthouse is outside the famous Granite City, it is still close enough to make it easily accessible for visitors who fancy the trip.

The scenery that surrounds the guesthouse can be quite beautiful in the way it seems to go on forever with the many fields and forests that make the area so appealing.

Some stunning backdrops with traditional Scottish skylines, traditionally Scottish in the way that the sun never seems to shine through!

But for a true experience of some of Northern Scotland and the surrounding area Fountain Guesthouse is the most welcoming place you will find to stay in the area and beyond.

Fountain Guesthouse is located just outside Dyce, on the outskirts of the city of Aberdeen, and is an ideal location for people who have just had a long flight into the area or are waiting for a flight out.

This is because Aberdeen airport is located in Dyce and is therefore the destination for many visitors to Scotland.

Fountain Guesthouse is the ideal place to stay if you wish to visit the busy and attractive "Granite City" that is Aberdeen, but wish to get away from it all later on.

Aberdeen

Aberdeen is a prosperous cosmopolitan city, with a historical old town and one of Scotland's most striking skylines. Here is a quintessentially northern city, whose granite makes buildings sparkle after rain; whose outlook is across the seas rather than to the Central Belt; and whose speech retains the Scots idiom as part of everyday communication. The granite buildings such as Marishal College, His Majesty's Theatre and St. Machar's Cathedral give the city its distinctive look, and its famous nickname - the "Granite City".

Some things don't change. You cannot escape the sea here, not since it was founded as a Royal burgh back in 1124. The influence of the harbour is everywhere and the harvest of the North Sea continues. Where once streamlined clipper ships left the slipways for the China tea trade, now oil executives from all over the world drive to their comfortable homes in the suburbs.

Aberdeen has won the 'Britain in Bloom' competition many times and has taken its floral pulling power on to the European stage. The statistics are all there: two million roses, eleven million daffodils, three million crocuses. You get the picture. Where other cities resort to grass, Aberdeen employs petal-power. One top attraction is the Winter Gardens in the Duthie Park, home to the stunning Rose Mountain. Even in the depths of winter, the aptly-named Winter Gardens provide color and scent. At two acres (one hectare), it provides what some say is the largest area under glass in Europe.

The City of Aberdeen with a proud and fascinating history presents a modern cosmopolitan image to visitors. A thriving cultural calendar, lively theatre, and vibrant nightlife, along with excellent restaurants and attractions makes Aberdeen an energizing city break choice.
