From the first contact with the amazingly helpful owner Frances this trip could not have been better. The apartments has been beautifully modernised and is full of lovely decorative features. You can tell the owners love it! Very cosy and comfy and spotlessly clean The most generous welcome pack was such a pleasant surprise after a traumatic journey. Stonehaven itself is a lovely spot and I could not recommend it and the apartment more!

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.

Lovely clean, quaint property. The host was fantastic and made our stay very special.

Very pleasant flat and helpful owner. Noise was an issue for us, unfortunately. Saturday evening through until 3am was extremely noisy. Cars appeared to be racing each other just outside and several motorbikes were going around and around, gunning engines, literally until 3am. We'd been warned there might be noise the Sun am due to drain issues being explored under the flat next door. Not only was there a lot of workman noise 8am onwards - remember the traffic issues until 3am! - but the fairly noisy workmen then set off the fire alarms twice, they were ringing for quite some time, resulting in a fire engine arriving. Overall a bad start to the holiday leaving us quite stressed. Things improved thereafter and we had a lovely few days travelling out from Stonehaven.

The apartment was very well appointed and very homely. It was very conveniently positioned for easy access to the town, the beach and local attractions. We had not visited Stonehaven before but will definitely be back! The treats that were left around the apartment were appreciated. We had a wonderful holiday, thank you.

Fantastic, Frances very informative, welcoming property. Central for everything. All you need nearby

We had such a fantastic time staying in this property! Frances gave us tons of helpful information about the area. The place itself was pleasant, peaceful, clean, and well-stocked. We so appreciated all the treats and personal touches. My son is pretty outspoken, and this was our 6th VRBO in Scotland. This was the first one he was sad to leave! The area is magnificent, and we loved being about to walk to everything. There are great places to eat all around. I highly recommend it!

A last-minute booking luckily brought us to a dream property. Frances was amazing and accommodating. Every detail of this property was thought-through and utterly charming. The location was great and the home was everything we needed and more. The main bed was extremely comfortable, the kitchen was very well appointed and the house was bright and cheery. The decor was so fun and breezy. There was plenty of room and we were very content. Our daily walks on the beach and strolling around the delightful town gave us the recharge we were sorely in need of. The only problem is that now I've left a piece of my heart in Stonehaven and will always yearn to return.

Frances has made us most welcome during our short stay. She added her own personal touches throughout the property and left us with a good stock of treats on our arrival. Would highly recommend this little gem of a place as a base for exploring Aberdeenshire!

Lovely place to stay. Very clean and with lovely touches like gifts for our 7 year old and cake and wine in fridge. Beds were comfortable and the area had lots of interesting places to see and great restaurants to eat in.

Thanks to Frances who was a fantastic host, lots of treats when we arrived as well as everything (and more) than you could possibly need to make you feel at home, completely safe and comfortable. The flat couldn't be more handy for many local shops, cafes, restaurants and just a hop, skip and a jump to the promenade and the beach. We decided to leave the car at home and it was very easy and relaxing to get there by train. We also found it easy to catch local buses to explore the area and the occasional very reasonabl priced friendly taxi. Many places of interest within easy walking distance too. You must try the sea safari - spectacular views of the dramatic coastline and rich with wildlife (puffins and seals were my highlight) also we recommend you enjoy a couple of drinks or bite to eat overlooking Stonehaven harbour and take a walk to the magnificent Dunnottar castle, just book a ticket in advance - stunning position and really dramatic. The flat looks even better in real life than the photos and everything on your doorstep. All the people we met in the shops and cafes etc were extremely friendly and helpful too. Lastly we would highly recommend the wee trip to Catterline just a very short distance away to see where Joan Eardley famously painted and a beautiful quiet bay and harbour with fantastic old original pub/restaurant above the pebble beach with amazing views! Great base for a holiday exploring the many interesting elements of the area - stunning nature walks and history within a few minutes walk in every direction.

Fantastic gem of a property in a great location. Frances the owner made everyone feel special with personalised gifts and hidden surprises throughout the property which our girls loved. The holiday home had everything in it, from washing machine down to needle and thread and very informative throughout. Thanks again Frances for a wonderful stay in Stonehaven.

Lovely apartment right in the centre of Stonehaven. Fully equipped with everything you could want and more. Spotlessly clean with some many nice touches. The communication with the owner, Frances, was perfect and even although we didn't meet face to face we felt very welcomed. We would definitely stay in this apartment again and would highly recommend it to friends and family

We have just returned from a lovely stay in Frances's Beautiful Apartment so quickly and beautifully decorated. We were made to feel very welcome in this safe and very clean apartment which is situated on the corner of Stonehaven market square and only a few steps away from the stunning beach.we could not have had a better location. We loved all the extra surprises and will definitely be returning again. Absolutely loved this apartment and did want to leave. ❤️

Ideal and exactly as described, with some lovely surprises. A warm welcome and very well equipped. Communication was really good. The location is perfect, close to the beach, shops, restaurants and walks. It is clear that Frances not only loves her apartment and Stonehaven, but she cares passionately about making sure that visitors have the best possible stay. We could not be happier - thank you so much.

Frances has thought of everything in this property - it’s a perfect holiday home from home and the additional local information provided is excellent. The property is well-equipped and beautifully decorated, with thoughtful little touches in the most surprising of spaces. Communication with Frances was great and she is happy to provide suggestions of things to do or to let you get on with your own thing - entirely up to you. The location is good - plenty of parking nearby, metres from the beach and surrounded by places to eat (we ate A LOT during our stay! ) We will definitely stay here again if holidaying in the area.

We had a wonderful time in Stonehaven for October half term. The location of this well-equipped apartment is excellent, very close to the beach for breezy walks by the sea and close to castles and other great places to explore. Everything you need is close by, including supermarkets, shops, restaurants and ice cream shops! Frances is a friendly and helpful host - her recommendations of places to visit and eat out were spot on. We hope to return!

We had a lovely time in Stonehaven and the apartment was like home from home. Lots of attention to detail in every room and little surprises for us to find. Very clean, well equipped and very comfy beds. Would definitely go back, Frances was a great host and provided lots of useful information.
