Great place to stay, right on the harbour with lovely views and nice walks along the sea front. A very clean hotel with friendly staff, a good dinner menu and very filling breakfast. Would definitely stay there again if I'm in the area.

6/10 Good

Good location, small dated rooms, good food.

Great location. The breakfast was very good. Rooms are small and dated. Parking is out front if it’s open. If it’s not open, park in the harbor parking until after 4pm, the spots out front open up from the day trippers. Walking distance to Dunnator Castle. Restaurant downstairs was good.
Darren, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very pretty area. The food at the restaurant was good & there is a coffee shop close that had good sandwiches & pastries if you don't want to eat at the restaurant.
Rea Kay, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location is fabulous, right opposite the harbour. Close to everything in town. Comfy bed, good shower and a delicious brekkie in the morning

6/10 Good

Very noisy but beautiful view

Lovely location overlooking the harbour. Very noisy room right above the bar with a lot of noise until midnight. I would stay in Stonehaven again but I wouldn't stay here which is a shame.

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.

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.
