The Ship Inn

Convenient and clean.

Our view was of the adjoining roof, but you can't have verything.

Great staff and excellent food. Location right on the water

Traveled in January so limited on outside activities, however value priced for this reason

Great location to visit Stonehaven. The staff were lovely and the food at the restaurant was great

Outdate beds, room was small for a family room.

Fantastic location, friendly staff, great whiskey menu

Great traditional pub in old Stonehaven… fantastic locations and views! The restaurant was great and staff very friendly.

Very pleasant room, good bathroom and fabulous harbour view.

No seating area for guests, bar was standing room only.

Outstanding view from our room. Few steps to negotiate but comfortable room above an awesome hotel. Nice bar with great meal at dinner. We also enjoyed full Scottish Breakfast. Staff weee friendly and gave us some good tips on sights to see whilst visiting.

Location

Noisy fans in kitchen below our room.Attitude of manager in morning after I complained about noise.Never even apologised when I was settling my bill.

Easy parking on the street when the day trippers left. Good breakfast in the pub next door. Food at the associated pub was very nice.

The noise from the kitchen exhaust fan vibrated against our wall until 9 pm each night and early in the morning.

First of all - I checked in there for the second time. During a power cut. I would have missed it if it wasn't for me remembering where the Ship Inn was approximately. Long story short - it was one of the most memorable experiences of my traveling career. Everyone - staff, guests, locals - was trying to make the best out of the situation.Breakfast was quick and plenty, even though I ordered the small Scottish breakfast. The restaurant offers a decent range of food in the no-nonsense department. If you are looking for [...] star cuisine you might have chosen the wrong place. You get fed there at very reasonable prices.The bar is well stocked with a variety of beers and spirits. The location is hard to beat with the Ship Inn located directly at the harbour. The footpath to Dunottar Castle starts some 100 meters right to the hotel facing the harbour. Be prepared for a steep ascend which will reward you with stunning views in all directions.

I'd like to recommend some things to enhance the experience, unfortunately I can't find anything. Haute cuisine? Don't need it. Rainforest shower? Don't need it. You get everything you need for a stay in this beautiful surroundings at a very reasonable price - at least in my case.A room with harbour view would have been the cherry on the cake - but I didn't ask for it and I had plenty of time to view the harbour outside the Ship Inn.

The best room in town! Overlooks the harbor and is well protected from the winds. Close to Dunnottar Castle. Walking distance from all we needed. Super helpful staff!

Location, restaurant and bar. Staff was wonderful.

Beautiful old inn on the water in Stonehaven. Nice pub and restaurant.

Location, staff and food/pub.

Beautiful location. Very helpful staff. Food was really good and the room was clean, the bed comfortable. Close to Castle, hiked there in the morning. Be sure to check out times for restaurants to be open, they only serve at specific times and other shops seemed to have odd hours as well.

Room was very basic, no conditioner or lotion, one brand of tea, no decaf. The shower was a struggle, had to switch on the water heater outside the shower, then it was scalding and then it ran out of hot and turned freezing.No water in the room for guests.

The room came with a fan, which was very needed with the warm temperatures. I loved the window view of the mountain outside of the inn. I loved that the bay was right across from the inn and that the area was walkable. Sea and beach views were nearby. I liked staying in a historic-looking inn with a pub below. It seemed to be a typical local pub hang out spot and I liked that!

The two twin bed room was extremely small and a tight fit. We hardly had any space to open up our luggage.

Position A1! I’m a golfer and Stonehaven GC is a must play.

Bumped my head on the stairs… 2 flights

The location of The Ship Inn is absolutely spectacular. This little seaside town captured my heart. When we checked in, we were advised to make a dinner reservation before the kitchen closed. This we did, and the dinner was probably the best we had in Scotland. OMG - talk about Toffee Pudding!

A fire alarm went off at 6am and was quite disturbing. But I must say that the volunteer fire department was on site in minutes, and confirmed a false alarm. Even with this fiasco, I can honestly say that The Ship Inn is one of the most magical and welcoming locations in Scotland and its staff is extraordinary!

Absolutely charming. Location is fantastic. My bedroom and room number nine was stellar with windows that open up over the bay. The breakfast was delicious. Had dinner at the restaurant and it was very good. The walk along the coast to the castle was fabulous. I only wish I could have stayed longer. Highly recommend.

I liked the location, the cleanliness and all the staff! Thanks!
