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!

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ship Inn. Small town experience. Food was really good and the staff were super friendly. The room was comfy. Felt like I was at my favourite Aunties house! Shoutout to Abby Chivon Zane Fifi and Fiona. Heather/Linda from Canada

The breakfast, pub fare and drinks were reasonable and delicious. The staff were friendly and accomodating. We were only there two nights but wished we had booked for longer.
Jonathan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Great position and very friendly staff. I last stayed in Stonehaven 40 years ago and it lived up to my expectations.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful location on a small bay. Free parking on the street in front of the Inn. Great restaurant. The trail up the hill ( steep) to the Dunnottar Castle is 3 miles round trip but absolutely worth it if one is able. The room was small but immaculate, lots of hot water, good WiFi and a very reasonable price at the time of this review. I did not see if there was a lift, one flight of steep stairs to our room. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed this lovely hotel in Stonehaven. It was quaint and the service was truly wonderful. We enjoyed the breakfast (which was included and gave us many options), the restaurant, pub and the proximity to the amazing activities this area has to offer, including Dunnottar Castle, bird watching, Wynford Farm and lovely day hikes and strolls. We also enjoyed being near the water and walking about Stonehaven. Thank you for an incredible stay and experience.
