Just spent week at Harbour View Cottage & it was excellent. We couldn’t fault anything. Yvonne the owner was there to greet us & explained everything to us. Everything was there that anyone could need. It would certainly be worth another visit. Thank you Yvonne.

absolutely perfect in every way
Perfect wee house ten steps from the beach. Sizeable living / dining / kitchen area with every appliance and kitchen ware you could think of. Two large bedrooms upstairs with plenty of storage space. Beautiful bathroom - we all wanted to steal the bath!! The whole house was very tastefully decorated and was spotlessly clean.
Yvonne, the hostess could not have been kinder or more helpful and we kept regularly in touch. Great value for money. We have already booked for next year and intend to keep doing so. Very highly recommended.

WHAT A DELIGHTFUL PLACE.
We could not fault this wee house or the generosity of Yvonne the owner.
The place is so tastefully decorated and spotless.
There was a welcome pack that went over and above any welcome pack ever . She thought of just everything and how thoughtful that it included a bottle of PROSECCO as we were celebrating some BIG BIRTHDAYS.
I can recommend this place highly enough.

Excellent: first class accomodation and great position: delightful view, quiet, yet close to all ammenities.
We are an elderly couple, plus our Border Terrier, from Edinburgh. We all enjoyed our fortnight at 23 Shorehead hugely. Yvonne was very helpful and the cottage was perfect for us. It was very well equipped, stylishly furnished and comfortable. Car parking on the harbour worked well and Sainsbury's found our address easily to delivered our groceries. There is also an excellent Co-op in Stonehaven, in fact there are two: a small one in the market square and a larger one with car parking a little further out. Within easy walking distance we can recommend the Cool Gourmet cafe's scones and jam, the lunches at the Captains Table, and, for a special meal, dinner at The Tolbooth Seafood Restaurant. Stonehaven itself is a delight, and we have rarely been in such a clean place. Kept seeing litter pickers! Excellent.

Just perfect!
This was a last minute booking and it couldn’t have been better. Communication was easy and Yvonne met us at the cottage to show us around. The cottage location is perfect, right on the harbour. It is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean throughout and probably the best equipped holiday let we have ever stayed in!
The welcome basket was definitely the best!
We’ll be back!

Beautiful Place
Recently visited this cozy little place for a couple of days with my partner, and found it to be as welcoming as ever. We've been here three times now and love the cottage and location. The views are very special, I particularly like the mornings when the sun in rising, the views are stunning.
The cottage is cosy, welcoming and feels like home. The local area offers lots of choice from casual walks to paddle boarding in the harbour. The locals are friendly with plenty of traditional pubs to choose from.
We are planning future visits to this wonderful little cottage during 2019.
Thank you for making us feel welcome during our visits.

Really welcoming and extremely pet friendly
Fabulous location with amazing views- harbour, beach, skies. We were made very welcome when we arrived and the welcome food package was excellent. Yvonne had even left biscuits for the dog. The house was incredibly warm and finishing touches marvellous.

Harbour haven in the heart of Stonehaven
Harbour View is situated in Stonehaven harbour, near the town centre. The harbour is so picturesque and to sit on the bench outside the cottage door in the morning is just perfection! There is everything you could possibly want or need nearby...cosy pubs, nice restaurants, shops. Yvonne, the owner, left an amazing welcome basket. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

Seaside perfection
We had the best holiday in a long time. Yvonne was wonderful and had arranged an incredibly gorgeous welcome pack for us with some daily food essentials and some treats too. This house is beautiful, fresh and spotlessly clean. I highly recommend staying here. We can’t wait to return again in the future. 10/10
