Guest Reviews

• Peter (8/5): -
• Ashleen (10/5): - It was a great location and very well maintained.
• Daniel (9/5): Great place for a quick stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. - The check-in staff was very accommodating, even though we arrived at peak dinner hour when they were very busy.
• jennifer (10/5): -
• Ellen (10/5): Perfect place for a visit to Stonehaven - Location and decor
• Marlena (9/5): -
• Kevin (8/5): Great option for a short visit to a lovely town. - Lovely location right in the harbour. Even though the pub was rammed on arrival, the staff were very welcoming. The room is fine: clean and comfortable. Nice view of the harbour. Breakfast was good. Ideal for a short stop in a lovely town. Nothing to say - all good.
• Rachel (8/5): Happy with our stay, loved our beach view, breakfast was awesome. - Overall very good accomodation, staff were great, breakfast excellent. There was no shower washing gel available for the shower. Only wash available was fixed beside the bathroom basin. There was also four wee shampoo bottles, no conditioner.
• Silke (9/5): Tolle 2 Tage ! - Tolle Lage am Hafen, Parkplätze an der Straße vor der Tür. Sauberes, schönes Zimmer, super leckeres Essen, nettes, freundliches Personal. Bett hat mega gequietscht. Und der Frühstückskaffee war sehr "dünn". Aber "Jammern auf hohem Niveau" 😉
• Juan (7/5): -
• Martin (9/5): Das Hotel "passt" super zum Hafen. Alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert. - Unsere Empfehlung: Auch dort Essen zu gehen. Echt lecker!
• Kim (10/5): Really enjoyable stay in a beautiful harbour setting - Location was spectacular! Rooms comfortable and lovely food Nothing
• Günther (7/5): Gute Lage, nette Leute - Lage Hinterhofzimmer
• Vera (5/5): - Gefallen hat uns das angegliederte Restaurant und die direkte Lage am Hafen und Zugang zum Spazierweg zum Castle. Die Qualität des Essens im Restaurant war sehr gut. Die Toilette war locker. Zum Glück wiegen wir nicht so viel ;-). Was ich unverschämt fand war, dass wir unterschreiben mussten, dass wir keine selbstgekauften Getränke mit auf das Zimmer nehmen sollten.
• Hazel (9/5): Enjoyed the whole atmosphere in the hotel and would highly recommend their lovely restaurant attached to it - Beautiful locations, comfy beds, clean rooms Our only complaint and it is very minor. There were no soap oroducts for the shower, or for just washing our hands, just some small shampoo bottles which we had to use for everything.
• Steve (9/5): - Breakfast was delicious. Beds were very comfortable. The walk from the Ship Inn to Dunnottar Castle was challenging but beautiful! I'd do it again. Don't miss it!
• Jennifer (10/5): Lovely stay on the Harbor - Beautiful location, customer service is amazing and wonderful food!
• Gail (8/5): - Location and view! Small room
• Terry (9/5): Nice stay, - Good location, room was bright, easy parking No issues at all.
• catherine (9/5): Une belle étape Vue sur mer ! - Emplacement magique sur ce petit port de pêche. Des chambres très confortables, avec vue sur le port, très calme. Une belle expérience ! Dîner au restaurant bon mais sans grande surprise. Petit déjeuner au top. Tout était bien
• Margot (9/5): -
• Thomas (6/5): Traditional british B&B next to the harbour - Well situated next to the harbour and sea. Nice, modern, bathrooms. Nice and friendly staff, decent breakfast. A bit run down, shabby carpets, worn furnitures.
• Marion (8/5): Lohnt sich auf jeden Fall 👍 da mehr Vorzüge als Nachteile - Liegt sehr schön 👍 guter Ausgangspunkt für die Wanderung zum Dunnottar Castle Super super Frühstück , gutes Essen in der Pub, freundliche Bedienung Nicht alle Zimmer waren mit Blick zum Hafen. Auch kein 2 Bettzimmer (getrennte Betten) verfügbar. Steile Treppen zu den Zimmern
• Redmond (10/5): - The views were stunning and location superb. Hotel room was immaculate and comfortable with a very hearty breakfast.
• John (7/5): Excellent. - Breakfast was fantastic, both in quality and quantity. With a good night's sleep, awaking to the harbor view made this stay one that we will remember as a standout moment of our holiday. No comments to make.
• Albéric (9/5): Top emplacement au calme sur un petit port - Emplacement du pub - hôtel super - superbe et au calme sur le petit port de Stonehaven et en bas du chemin qui mène au château Dunnottar (1,8mi). Dîner possible au resto - pub - typique.
• Chri (7/5): Great location! - Location was great, the view from our room was amazing! Staff was great and helped getting the heavy suitcases up the tight steep stairway (there is no elevator). Breakfast was great, they even had gluten free toast. It looked like some mold in the ceiling in the bathroom. The bed wasn't very comfortable. The room was small. We were only two, but the room is a family room for four with a bunkbed.
• Alex (9/5): Perfect for a short break. - Very friendly, helpful staff. Very good food at both breakfast & dinner. Great location by the harbour. All good.
• Christopher (8/5): -
• Kara (7/5): If you are looking for a basic room with a beautiful view this is the place to stay! - The location and the staff Nothing really that sticks out
• Nils (8/5): - Fantastiskt läge, trevlig personal och genuin pubmiljö.
• Anna (8/5): -
• Kevin (8/5): Lovely hotel in a wonderful location with exceptional staff - Excellent staff, exceptional service Small en-suite
• Karam (8/5): -
• Catherine (10/5): Superbe séjour pour se ressourcer - Superbe vue sur.le.port de Stonehaven, au calme, personnel très disponible, petit déjeuner copieux et très bon, propreté. Le restaurant est très bien aussi.
• Gloria (10/5): Very impressed and will return - Friendly and professional staff Great meals Views, location
• Michael (9/5): -
• catherine (7/5): Ships inn - Location..staff...room was lovely, but cold..very cold. Room was very cold, absolutely no heat. I had a shower, the towel rack was st one cold, unable to find a button or instructions to turn on. It never warmed up in the room, so I had to ask for help, back downstairs, outside to get assistance. Asst Mgr turned everything on for me, so it was warmer when I went to bed. Facilities in room looked great...but all in all..it was soo cold
• Enrico (10/5): -
• Pascal (8/5): -
• Ann (10/5): Stunning views and location - The views were stunning and location superb. Hotel room was immaculate and comfortable with a very hearty breakfast. Nothing. All excellent. Would highly recommend
• Patricia (8/5): Enjoyed the stay and food ! - Location location Location ! Steep stairs .. no lift .
• Adam (6/5): -
• Patrick (7/5): Lovely stay at an amazing location, and a great whisky selection - Location and character Glass shelf above the sink got in the way. Only one pack of biscuits for a double room
• Faber (9/5): This was our second stay at Ship's Inn and I hope to someday visit again! - The on site restaurant serves very good food and the atmosphere in the pub is charming! We were disappointed on our second night that we could not eat there as we had not made a reservation before they booked up.
• annela (10/5): A fantastic experience! - A charming little hotel right on the waterfront. The same building also houses a pub and a bar, and since we happened to be there on a Friday night, the atmosphere was lively. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very helpful. And the cherry on top was an evening walk to Dunnottar Castle, full of narcissi and rabbits...
• John (9/5): Grand - Haddock and Chips are outstanding All good
• anne (8/5): -
• Craig (10/5): -
• Josef (8/5): - Great location overlooking the harbour. Good real ale and food in the on site restaurant. Nothing.
• Lynn (10/5): Fantastic - Absolutely gorgeous
• Jannette (7/5): -
• Ian (10/5): - Friendly staff, all very helpful. Great food served.
• Eric N R (9/5): - Great hotel in a fantastic location.⁸6 .
• Christelle (7/5): - Très bon emplacement face au port. Ayant réservé par Booking, nous avons eu une petite chambre dont les fenêtres donnaient sur la ventilation. Le bruit était assez fort. L'établissement précise dans sa documentation (classeur dans la chambre) qu'il préfère les réservations en direct.
• Carmen Julia (8/5): Buena estancia en Stonehaven - Ubicación, atención en el desayuno, aparcamiento fácil. Una de las toallas estaba sucia, las almohadas no son muy cómodas. Tiene varios edificios con habitaciones y no son todas de la misma calidad.
• Guest (8/5): -
• Roberto (8/5): -
• ruth (9/5): Great overnight get away in a lovely location . Nice walk along the beach - Fabulous location, room had a sea . The staff were very friendly and helpful . Zane the Barman, and Halle in the restaurant were fantastic! Can’t think of anything that we didn’t like
• Yve (9/5): - Fabulous location. Helpful friendly staff. Nice clean room with quality towels and bed linen. Terrible flat pillows.
• Dovetta (5/5): Lovely little fishing town Place is old you hear everything but for a night it worked - The staff The age of the building
• Simon (8/5): Nice place in a great location - Great location Friendly staff Well stocked bar Check in a little confused with no signs (unless I missed them) Room was fine, let down by a very creaky and noisy bed. I imagine guests in adjoining rooms thought I was up to something naughty with the noises the bed gave off
• Jenny (10/5): Seaside escape. - Gorgeous location on the harbour, cosy room with a great view. Easy parking nearby. Quite a few stairs as our room was on the top floor.
• Jorgelina (9/5): -
• dylan (10/5): Perfect Scottish experience - Absolutely perfect Scottish experience. A pub, restaurant and hotel on the water. Food was great and the staff were wonderful. I would stay again in a heartbeat
• Laurie (1/5): The Ship Inn is dangerous for one's brain. - room nice but toxic. the air was unbreathable. i do not know why. i suffered a partial breakdown of my blood brain barrier. I am certain it was the air in the room. I do not recommend to anyone who cares about their brain to ever stay at the Ship Inn in Stonehaven. To protect the blood-brain barrier, one can drink polyphenol-rich coffee or olive oil. One can partially regenerate the blood brain barrier by taking transresveretrol with 50 ml of 40% alcohol. Inflammation in the brain is also very bad. One powerful anti-inflammatory is milk thistle, but the supply of this is too limited. A more readily available anti-inflammatory is ibuprofen lysine but one needs to take about 1200 mg + (two tablets not one 650 mg as it says on the box, rather need to take two) of this nurofen migraine ibuprofen lysine is a good brand. Flavenoids found in red clover or chocolate are also anti-inflammatorish and are good for the brain. Alcohol say 300 ml famous grouse whiskey is anti-inflammatory, the only problem is that an excess of alcohol destabilises the blood brain barrier. 175 ml of a good red wine is more than enough alcohol. Good luck if your husband chooses the Ship Inn as my husband Robert did. Because in Robert's world--wives get nothing. Robert always wants ALL of the money any wife has. All of the house. Robert is greedy and dangerous. I should never havesaved Robert from being jailed for two counts of Assault against me Laurie Anne Bankston, because Robert Liddington was guilty. It is my biggest regret. Robert has tried to kill me more times than I can count. Somehow I have always survived. Maybe because I am not a stupid wife. Only I was a stupid wife. I refuse to be a stupid wife anymore because Robert scares me. He is abusive. He is horrible. He knows that I am dying and still is impatient, still keeps killing anyone who tries to help me, like my son Nick. He killed my last son who simply tried to save me. He kills any good Robert who is nice to me. As already explained, I did not like the air in the room so I opened the window, which fortunately did open. I put my head out the window to breathe non-toxic air--what a relief. Then I was cold as it was still February in Northeast Scotland. I tried to warm up by joining my husband in his twin bed where there was hardly enough room for two people. Then with the window wide open, I unfortunately fell asleep. I woke up alone in the twin bed. My husband had mostly closed the window and was in the other twin bed. So I ended up exposed to the toxic air which only changed to clean air around 7 am. I did not feel that well because for about 4 hours, my husband had made sure that I was exposed to the air that is toxic to the brain as it seems to partially destabilise the blood-brain-barrier that is in place to protect the brain. It blocks entry of large things in the blood stream like proteins. Proteins can feed and promote the growth of a protein virus. Protein viruses that have entered the brain are dangerous as they can cause the death of brain cells. One way that this type of virus grows is by being supplied what it needs to grow, which is that this type of virus needs protein to enter the brain in order to grow as it is composed of protein. But one cannot just stop eating protein, because protein outside of the brain is required for the success of the body's immune system and basically everything else that the body needs. The air at the Ship Inn is unfortunately making it more difficult for anyone who stays there and does not open the window fully to survive. More difficult for anyone dumb enough like me to survive, especially if you have a stupid husband who has already a very robust blood brain barrier, but knows that his stupid wife does not and wishes only that his stupid wife die of this type of protein virus in her brain sooner. I wish I had chosen a different place to spend the night than the dangerous to one's brain, Ship Inn. Close down the Ship Inn!!
• Ursula (8/5): Für eine Nacht würden wir wiederkommen. - Das Personal bei unserer Ankunft und im Restaurant war sehr freundlich. Das schottische Frühstück war sehr gut. Der Frühstücksservice ist ausbaufähig. Mein Mann wollte nur Bacon und Toast. Das waren dann nur zwei Scheiben Bacon und eine geteilte Scheibe Toastbrot. Kein extra Toast für Marmelade. Es wurde schnell abgeräumt und nicht gefragt, ob wir noch etwas möchten.
• Claudia (9/5): -
• Nairn (5/5): Could have been better. - Friendly staff, well laid out, nice rooms and comfy beds. Pillows were like wafers, bins outside window being collected at 06.30. Room was quite chilly.
• Derek (8/5): -
• Pam (9/5): Lovely comfortable and friendly stay in a great location - Lovely comfortable room with excellent quality linens and a good shower room, nice fresh breakfast and friendly staff Nothing
• Thomas Alois (9/5): Fantastic location for a short stay. Very close to Dunnotter Castle. - Fantastic location, basic equipment, great for a short stay. I was happy with my stay, though staff was rather “doing the job”, a little smile or how are you, would have been nice.
• Douglas (10/5): - Fantastic waterfront location, great food and drink, and friendly, helpful staff made it a wonderful getaway!
• Cristiana (9/5): - Posizione e vista in un meraviglioso angolo di Scozia
• david (9/5): amazing -
• Carol (5/5): Room small, had to step over bath to shower with no handrails very unsuitable - hotel location room located up 2 narrow stairways
• Laura (6/5): I had high expectations but our stay didn’t come up to them. My dinner was pretty awful, I sent it back. The staff with - The location was excellent.,our room had a fabulous view of the harbour.The bed was very comfortable, bed and bath linen was to a high standard.Carpet was in good condition and clean.Bathroom suite was to a high standard. The rooms decor needed improvement. The walls were scuffed and paint work around the wall lights had rings round them exposing the old paint beneath.
• Dr Anupa (7/5): Wonderfully unpretentious local BNB with great views! - Quiet room, lovely bathroom and great view out onto the sea! The staff were attentive and friendly. The location is perfect for walking to Dunnottar Castle nearby - one of the most inspiring coastal walks I have done. The staff were friendly and let me store my luggage for a few hours before leaving. I had a lovely meal at the pub downstairs! Checkout is at 10 which is earlier than most hotels. It would have been great to have a slightly longer checkout time.

• Shona (8/5): - Welcoming people, great location, food was fantastic and every meal was hot.
• Eric (8/5): Lovely location, good food, staff very pleasant and helpful but room somewhat disappointing. - Good food - lunch, dinner and breakfast. Staff were helpful and friendly. I did not book the family room provided. Room had only one chair although the photographs of the room that I had chosen on booking showed two. The provision of two stools was not an appropriate alternative. Pillows had lost their support and required replacing. My wife felt that the mattress was too hard and uncomfortable.
• Jason (9/5): - Know of the hotel from previous visits to Stonehaven. I wanted a room with a view of the harbour. Staff were excellent. A good breakfast and the shower was fantastic! Decor a little tired in the room. Would have preferred to have a double room with the additional space and views rather than a 'family' room.
• Hill (10/5): Excellent location and surrounding area - Beautiful views and the food was very tasty My room was facing the back.🤣 was a fifty fifty 🤣
• Dave (10/5): Friendly staff , good clean accommodation and a fantastic resteraunt serving fair priced food. - A characteristic old inn located on the harbour. Rooms need to be fitted with USB charging sockets in this day and age.

• James (9/5): - No complaints Great staff
