I recently stayed at the Pennan Inn Hotel for one night, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. My deluxe sea-view room with an ensuite was immaculate, comfortable, and offered a stunning view of the ocean—a perfect spot to unwind. The bar was cosy and welcoming, with exceptional service from the friendly bar lady. The selection of cold beverages, beers, and a top shelf brimming with malt whiskies was impressive. The menu truly surprised me with its variety of fresh, appealing dishes. I opted for the scallops, steak, and lemon posset—all of which were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Breakfast the next morning was sublime—though I must admit, I did miss having a slice of haggis! The staff were helpful throughout my stay, and the free Wi-Fi worked flawlessly, which was a lifesaver as there was no mobile signal in the area. As for Pennan itself, the village is nothing short of magical. It’s beautifully isolated, picturesque, and everything you’d hope for in a coastal getaway. I highly recommend the Pennan Inn Hotel for anyone traveling or working in the region—it’s an exceptional place to stay, full of charm and character.

Clean. Comfortable bed. The room was not too hot but not cold either. Comfortable temperature.. quiet despite other guests being there. Didn't hear anyone use the bathrooms either. Perfect for my brief visit.

The location was super on the harbour front. Our host at the guest house was very friendly and welcoming and informative about local restaurants and amenities. The house was very well equipped as was our room. Continental breakfast was plentiful as was tea coffee water etc in room. Spacious bathroom and comfy bed. Cosy lounge area with sofa and large TV, very homely. All round great experience.

Quaint apartment just north of Stonehaven. Very nice host who went out of her way to make our stay wonderful. Comfortable beds and very clean accommodations. Came with yogurt, juice, fresh bread and marmalade as well as tea and coffee. The huge bonus here is the beach. What a treasure! A short hike from the apartment and you’re on a mystical, craggy-cliffed private beach. Absolutely stunning! My kids even braved the North Sea for a quick dip.

A very pleasant stay. The hosts are very nice and helpful, great contact during the stay and before arrival - they responded quickly to messages and were very friendly. Very good breakfasts. Room and bathroom nice, clean and comfortable. Great location close to the city center and the beach. If I come back to Stonehaven (it's really lovely) I will stay again.
