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.

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.

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.
Leslie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Lora, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Surprisingly refreshing.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Jeannie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Alison, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

8/10 Good

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 Excellent

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!!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.
Claire, 1-night trip

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Ship Inn my only complaint would be that our room was a bit on the small side
