About this property

FAB LOCATION - CENTRAL YET ONLY 80 M FROM SEA

Only 80 metres from the sea and promenade, you can relax and feel at home in our quirky but stylish, recently modernised 3 bedroom listed apartment. We have tried to create a modern feeling in a traditional property - quite simply we love doing up old properties and creating a 'home from home' experience for our guests. The first floor accommodation is on two floors with bright, spacious open plan kitchen/dining /living room area and single cosy bedroom situated on the first floor. Living space/dining area provides adequate seating and the luxury of a SMART TV with Bluray/DVD player. Free wifi is also provided. Our lovingly and painstakingly restored staircase leads up to a bright, stylish twin bedroom with wall mounted TV/DVD player as well as a further attractive double bedroom with luxury bedding, tasteful decor and SMART TV. Please note we have the luxury of an actual three bedroom space so there is no need to make up sofa beds each day as the living room is an entirely separate space. Our recently modernised bathroom offering our guests the use of complimentary products is also located on the upper floor.

No car is necessary, as soon as you walk out the front door, everything is on your doorstep – lovely local little shops in which to browse in, cafes, restaurants, banks, small supermarkets, everything you could wish for. Have a gentle stroll via the scenic route along the promenade, stopping off at Molly’s for a delicious home cooked breakfast, lunch or dinner, or pay a visit next door from Molly's to the Bay Fish and Chip shop (brilliant fresh fish and worth the wait!) You may simply want to relax with a leisurely coffee at the Waterfront Cafe offering dramatic sea views or Molly's on the seafront. If you prefer sample some fine dining at one of Scotland’s best seafood restaurants, The Tolbooth (booking essential) overlooking the picturesque, historic harbour or just sit by the sea with an ice-cream from Aunt Betty’s – (toppings a must!) and soak in the atmosphere, whilst dolphin spotting. Further restaurants, cafes, bars, ice-cream shops, fish and chip shops (including the Carron famous for its deep fried Mars bars) can be found in the surrounding streets and are too numerous to mention you will just keep finding them!

For the children there is the adventure playground, teenagers the skate park and don’t forget to bring your swimming costume for a quick splash in our famous Art Deco Olympic sized heated out-door pool (summer months only) and offering midweek midnight swims. The leisure centre has an indoor pool open all year. We also have a bowling green, putting and tennis courts – there is something for everyone.

If you are feeling energetic you can walk up through Bervie Braes towards Dunnottar Castle - well worth the climb as once at the top the view on a nice day is amazing of Stonehaven Bay. A further five minute walk and passing the war memorial, you will see our iconic Dunnottar Castle in the distance a spectacular fortress ruins where you can take in the breath-taking awesome scenery, imagining life in the 15th century (Part of Hamlet was filmed here starring Mel Gibson) and a “must” visit.

Stonehaven also has one of the oldest golf courses in Scotland which straddles the Highland Fault Line and offers scenic views across Stonehaven Bay towards Dunnottar (visitors welcome any time and we are able to offer discounted prices). Nearby, the sandstone cliffs of Fowlsheugh hold one of Scotland's largest sea bird colonies. View the puffins during their nesting period; a truly memorable experience.

We hope you have enjoyed reading our introduction. . If you are interested in the property and visiting Stonehaven please contact me initially through the Enquiry button before making a definite Reservation as I still have lots more information to give you and I can also confirm your price at that time. I would also appreciate if you could just add a little note about yourself and your guests. If you then decide to make a reservation, once you have paid the service fee to VRBO I then manage your booking personally.

We have another property advertised with Home Away with only a minute's walk between them should you be looking for accommodation for more than one family. We hope that once you have visited Stonehaven you will feel like us and want to keep coming back!

Our stay was lovely. Frances was so accommodating and quick to respond. The apartment was very clean with so many little thoughtful extras (chocolate was my favourite!) I would definitely recommend this rental and would stay there again in a second.

50th Birthday Bucket List....
I'm starting this with... WOW!!! Absolutely amazing finding this on here. Superb location beautiful flat with a welcome pack left for us. Also milk was in the fridge and Prosecco!!! Frances was brilliant to communicate with from our original booking till we came home. Also she came to the flat to give me a cake for my 50th birthday!!!! How many hosts would do that. We were here to see the fireballs at Hogmanay and it was breathtaking with the fireworks at the end at the harbour. If you haven’t been before please go you will love it. Also stay here if you get the chance you will not be disappointed. Will definitely be booking here again and parking wasn't an issue also.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.
I was born and brought up in Aberdeen 15 miles to the north of Stonehaven so over the years have had many trips to this seaside town and a lot of happy memories. Due to work I had to move away but still have many friends and relatives in this area and visit regularly. I was lucky enough to purchase this property in 2013 and a further one in 2017 with only a minute's walk between them (also advertised on Home Away). I love Stonehaven and hope that after your visit you too will see why.

Why they chose this property

Stonehaven is quite simply a beautiful place and is great for young and old alike. Once you have visited, you will definitely want to come back!

What makes this property unique

The apartment is quirky, has everything on it's doorstep and is lovingly looked after by the owner; a real home from home and somewhere you will experience true Scottish hospitality which we pride ourselves in offering. We are sure you will have a great time from start to finish - you only have to read our reviews!
