Breaks In Stonehaven – Stonehaven Hotels

Posted January 28, 2010 by BookingBuddy

Stonehaven’s the place to go if you want an out-of-this-world break but haven’t the time or inclination to venture too far from home. Tucked away on the northeast coast of Scotland, this town may be small in size, but it more than makes up for it with a multitude of beautiful attractions and cultural events. It also boasts a famously photogenic harbour that has been the proud subject of many photographs.

See
Dunnottar Castle – This may be one of the most spectacular ruined fortresses you’ll ever see. Dramatically perched on a rocky headland, parts of the castle seem like they are about to slip into the raging sea at any moment. It has seen and survived many dark chapters in history since its construction centuries ago. These days, visitors to the castle can approach it via a scenic coastal path along the cliffs, where they can also enjoy views of the many puffins and gulls that currently call the ruins home.

Stay
The Ship Inn – Located right beside the harbour, this homely little hotel offers guests wonderful views of Stonehaven’s scenic waterfront. With only eleven rooms, you can be sure you won’t be jostling for space at the breakfast table with other guests. A hearty breakfast is included in the price of the room, and the attached restaurant offers up a selection of fresh, tasty dishes with a home-cooked feel. Room rates start at £60, including breakfast.

Play
Victorian Heritage Trail – Queen Victoria’s unmistakable profile on signs leads visitors to attractions along the trail. Take in sights that she herself would have enjoyed, such as the charming Old Royal Station in the little town of Ballater. Stop by the two distilleries along the trail and quench your thirst with a glass of tasty single malt.
