We had a pleasant one night stay and found the staff very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean but decor and furniture a little tired. Food was great - especially the breakfast which was included in the price. Would definitely stay again.

I just loved this place. It’s right on the harbor so the views are amazing. The rooms are on the smaller side but they are extremely clean (we saw one of the housekeepers on her hands and knees scrubbing the shower) and comfortable. Amenities are a little dated but it didn’t affect our stay. Definitely make reservations for the restaurant. I had cullen skink there for the first time and it was so good. I dream about it!

Great little Inn with an awesome view out of the front door. Walked to Dunnotaur castle, just an amazing coastal town. Restaurant was great at the hotel (mussels), and staff was very friendly just like all Scottish people we met. Would definitely stay there again.

Stonehaven looks like it’s straight out of a movie set. The harbor and shore front boardwalk had stunning views and whimsical public art. Staff members at the Ship’s Inn were lovely, friendly, and attentive. The food was great and options were numerous. Breakfast was better than I’d expected and the portions were more than generous. The only drawback was the comfort of the bed. We found it to be a bit hard for our preference. That being said, I heartily recommend it and will definitely stay there again if the opportunity arises.
