Staff are super friendly and have amazing knowledge of the local area. The harbour is one of my favourite locations in the world and the Ship Inn harbour view room let me look at it all night.

A really cozy and comfortable room with an incredible view, in an amazing location. Walking over the headlands to Dunnottar Castle was an incredible experience. The view from our room was beautiful, this is such a magical location. Breakfast was delicious, and staff were helpful and very personable. It was a highlight of our three week tour of Scotland.

Stonehaven is a picturesque village and The Ship Inn is located in the heart of the harbour. The people were friendly and check-in easy. We also enjoyed the cleanliness and care.

We had a wonderful harbour view room. The bed and the room were very comfortable. The included full Scottish breakfast each morning was great. There is a pub on the main level of the inn that serves pub food as well. There is also a restaurant next to the pub. What a great visit. We will be back.

Great location at the harbour. We walked back to the Inn after seeing Dunnotar castle, and had a drink sitting outside. Staff let us store our luggage in advance so we could go out walking, and got us a table for dinner (very popular place). Quieted down later so no problems sleeping. Nice breakfast and we walked around the harbour and town after breakfast.

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

10/10

This area is gorgeous! The staff was so very friendly and the food was great! The room was clean and comfortable and more than adequate. The one drawback for some may be that there is no lift. Lugging suitcases up 3 flights was a workout but it was delightful!!! Thank you!!

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.
