Great location in this traditional inn

We had a friendly welcome and help carrying bags upstairs. The room was spacious and comfortable with a nice view over the harbour. The cooking smells on the stairs did not get to the room. Breakfast was fine (not gourmet). Great location for walking into town or onto the cliffs.

Disappointed experience for the price of £118 per night

The hotel’s location is convenient for visiting Dunnottar Castle and exploring Stonehaven, but the lack of warmth, cleanliness issues, maintenance problems, and generally unwelcoming atmosphere meant that our stay fell well below expectations.

A lovely place rich in character and history with outstanding staff.

The location is simply beautiful. The front bar is pleasant with nice people. The dinner menu was good, as was the breakfast. The view from my room was delightful. The appointments and decor are tasteful and stylish. The staff here are so helpful and lovely that it really made the stay all the more special. I especially appreciated the giant buff Scotsman who personally served us breakfast. I was charmed. I'll never forget him!

Brilliant Break !

Everything about our two night stay was brilliant. We had a comfortable, cosy room with a marvellous view across Stonehaven harbour. Bar meals were tasty, all the staff were friendly and efficient and the atmosphere was relaxed and cheery. There was excellent variety in the Continental Breakfast and the person who ran the breakfast room was especially helpful and welcoming. He made great coffee! The stairs to the bedrooms were steep but they provided a good work out! Congrats to all.
