Visiting with my husband for a birthday celebration this was the perfect break away. Nestled at the harbour in the old town of Stonehaven there is a friendly atmosphere, great beer and the seafood was awesome! Spotless room, well worth paying for the harbour view. Staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was everything you could ask for to set you up for a day of walking and exploring. Awesome food in the evening in the restaurant. We will definitely be back and would recommend The Ship Inn for a weekend away without hesitation.

Our room was cozy and well-appointed. The location is unbeatable, right on the harbour and facing east, a leisurely distance from the town centre one way and gorgeous hikes the other way. It's also got a terrific restaurant on the ground floor.

The hotel is right on the wharf with an ocean view. The rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable. The bar/restaurant served excellent food and drinks. The beach side of town was a short stroll away and was very charming. There is a walk to Dunnotar Castle close by and well marked. It has a steep staired start, but the walk along the cliffs was breathtaking.

Lovely property right on the harbor. They have a restaurant on site so we booked for dinner, and breakfast was included. I am glad we stopped overnight in this cute little town, and we loved how walkable the village was. Staff was friendly, accommodating, and the place was as described. No regrets here!
