Best place to stay in Stonehaven

Overlooking the sheltered harbour, Shorehead guest house enjoys one of the best views in Stonehaven. It is perfectly situated allowing you to explore the town and local area on foot and with a good selection of cafes, restaurants and pubs within easy reach. Opportunities for wild swimming or paddle boarding are on the doorstep. Its a great wee place to spend a few nights if you can.

This is the second time I've stayed at this property this year. It's clean, affordable, and very conveniently located—and the host is absolutely lovely. This time we rented three of the rooms and had a wonderful time in Stonehaven. Will be back again in the future—and hopefully for longer!

The location is very convenient, restaurants are nearby and the town centre isn’t far away. It could have been cleaner and tidier, it seemed like it was done sloppily. The breakfast which was included is self-serve and everything on offer were sugary snacks, cereal and yogurt. Would have been great to have healthy options as well.

Nice place, hosting a little absent

The place was nice, the room was excellent. The only issue I had was that we were left to our own devices (some would see that as a benefit) in the morning. I had to hunt for cutlery and crockery for breakfast, juice and milk in the kitchen fridge, made my own coffee, no fresh pastries, etc. Just not what I expected for 150 quid a night.
