Fantastic stay! Right on the harbour with excellent staff and restaurant attached. Excellent breakfast!!!

The location on the bay was beautiful - amazing views. The included breakfast was delicious and plentiful.

Lots of local charm with a great location in Stonehaven

Great location for getting around town and out to Dunotter Castle. Breakfast was tasty and dinner was very good. The staff was very helpful and thoughtful. This is our second visit to the Ship Inn and I hope it won't be our last.

fabulous place and good location for our 34th wedding anniversary our room was great , the view over the harbour is excellent, breakfast was lovely and great value as well. staff really attentive. also very nice bar with outdoor table and chairs also looking over the harbour.

the location can not be beat. you can walk to the castle via the pedestrian foot path.

Fun, scenic and relaxing, The Ship Inn was a favorite with the harbor views, excellent food and drink and happy people all around. The historic room was small but nice and clean with fluffy pillows on the soft beds. Wonderful sunrise harbor view from our window. Enjoyed eating lunch at the tables in front of the hotel overlooking the harbor with boats and birds. The breakfast was simple and delicious. Dinner was terrific with the grilled pork and applesauce with green beans. Walking down the boardwalk was fantastic passing artistic sculptures, walking on the beach and looking at the North Sea. At the end of the harbor is the Tolbooth Museum with notable artifacts from centuries ago and quite interesting. This location is also only five minutes away from the Dunnottar Castle! The Ship Inn hotel draws a happy crowd of locals for happy hour into the night on weekends.
