The Farmhouse
The Farmhouse was once the main farm on Dunnottar Castle Estate. There is actually an old stone dating back to the 13th Century in the wall of the garden. The house itself is set away from the farm buildings and is surrounded by a mature walled garden with woodland on either side. In the summer the garden is open to guests as is the porch.

The farm is situated across from the main entrance to the spectacular and world famous Dunnottar Castle which featured in Hamlet, starring Mel Gibson and Glen Close. There is also substantial private parking onsite at the side of the house which is quite secluded and unseen from the roadside.

The rooms are all tastefully decorated and contain all of the essential facilities for a pleasant stay. The Bed and Breakfast is rated at four star by the Scottish Tourist Board which is assessed every year.


The Rooms
The rooms consist of two spacious double rooms with adjoining small single room, originally used as a dressing room in its former days. Both rooms have views of the cliffs and the North Sea.

One of the bedrooms has a tastefully designed en-suite shower room complete with large wall mirror, shaver point and heated towel rail. The second room has a spacious private (not en-suite) traditional country house bathroom with bath and shower facilities. Both rooms are tastefully decorated and furnished in the country style.

Each room also has its own tea and coffee making facilities, colour television, fresh towels daily and of course the all important comfortable beds.

The double room with single attached can be used as twin rooms. This bathroom is uniquely for the use of guests and more so for the room without the en-suite.

The Porch & Garden
When you step inside the front porch, you are welcome to sit and admire the garden and seaview or just sit and admire the sun. If the weather is cooler there is also full use of the lounge area which has central heating and a peaceful ambience.


The Dining Room
The dining room is in a traditional farmhouse style and you can be guaranteed a substantial breakfast, which consists of fruit juice, choice of cereals, sausage, bacon, egg, mushroom and tomatoes; followed by tea or coffee, toast and a choice of marmalades and jams.

Continental tastes are also catered for on request and consists of yoghurts, fruit, cheese and ham.

Local Area Details

Stonehaven is a seaside town with a variety of shops situated around the Market Square. Many hotels, pubs and eateries serve foods which can be found to suit most tastes. One such pub is the Royal Hotel, just off the square, Ideal for the whole family. If your looking for something a bit special there is The Carron Art Deco restaurant.

The only heated outdoor swimming pool in Scotland can be found down at the beach side, as can the indoor one. We also have a beach, tennis courts, bowling greens (indoor/outdoor), outdoor putting, amusement arcades for the children, cafes and just a short drive North is Stonehaven Golf course.

Further South along the coast is the Harbour which is still used to land catches but mainly for pleasure. Along the harbour front are two public houses which cater for the flow of customers who choose to sit outside in the sunshine, or on the sand.

Several boats sail from the harbour during the summer months past Dunnottar Castle and occasionally to the bird sanctuary further down the coast.

Scattered down the coast are fishing villages, including Kinneff. This is where the crown jewels were hidden after being smuggled from Dunnottar Castle to prevent them from being stolen. The village of Catterline is also South, famous for the artist Joan Eardley.

Dunnottar Castle which was previously mentioned is open from Easter Weekend to October: Monday to Saturday 9am-6pm Sunday 2-5pm. November to Easter Weekend: Monday - Friday 9am-sunset Closed Saturday and Sunday

ADMISSION Adults: £3.50 Children under 16: £1.00

Stonehaven War Memorial is a particularly noticeable monument, standing on top of the Black Hill just North of the Bed and Breakfast.

It is often thought of as being in a poor state of repair but this is the way it was designed to look Ã? as unfinished or ruined as the lives of those it commemorates.
