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.

The Ship Inn is a gem! Set on a lovely beach, it is a charming place! The rooms are immaculately clean and beautiful. The mattress was so comfortable for a good night’s sleep. Walking around Stonehaven, we enjoyed the beach, the walk to the castle, and the paths in Donnotter Woods. The restaurant was great, and the included morning breakfast was very filling. All the staff were helpful, friendly, and professional. We highly recommend The Ship Inn.

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.

Coming in out of chilly rain to stay at the Ship Inn was one of my cosiest travel experiences. Initially after making my reservation online, I was confused about how to check in because there is no "front desk."But the Inn (responding to an email) instructed me to collect my room key at the bar when I arrived, and I was warmly welcomed and helped to my room and immediately made to feel completely at home (thank you Michelle!). The hot shower was the BEST I've had in years, and the in-room coffee/tea maker was a wonderful thing to come home to after hiking to Dunnottar castle in the rain. The bed was the only thing that was uncomfortable (the mattress felt a bit worn down) but otherwise ALL the touches and amenities in the room (towels, shampoo, coffee/tea, welcome biscuits, tourist info on the area) felt luxurious, and the character of the building (excellent radiator and spacious armoire and desk) made it felt very unique. The breakfast (included) was an unexpected treat as well, fresh and delicious. A meal of orange juice, fruit salad, yoghurt and a hearty "Scottish breakfast" with a delicious croissant was exactly what I needed before a day spent hiking in the rain. Then, in the evening, a delicious dinner of locally-caught seafood and homemade Polish apple pie were an enormous treat. But above all, what made Ship Inn particularly special was the staff, especially Michelle; everyone was helpful and welcoming and made every day I was there feel special.

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.
