Stayed here for 1 night in the single room.. The room and shared bathroom were immaculate. All you need in the room. Breakfast was deliciously cooked by Ray. Scrambled egg cooked on the hob and not a solid rubbery mass from the dreaded micowave. Ray is the perfect host and really enjoys her job. I would certainly return if I... More

We stayed in both rooms - single and twin - and they added in an additional roll-away bed for our daughter. Stayed for 1 night in early July. Ray and Raymond are both wonderful hosts. Rooms are very clean and comfortable, with tv and coffee/tea making facilities. Great views of harbour. There is a shared washroom on the same floor... More

Great B&B with a truly lovely host. There's just two rooms, a single and a twin. We stayed two nights in the twin room, and had a super custom breakfast each morning. Ray is really helpful with local information, and even drew us a map to the castle, as the normal route was closed. There's a shared bathroom on the... More

We spent two nights in this lovely 3 story B&B right on the harbour. The ground floor has a cute shop with nautical gifts. The two available bedrooms are on the third floor with spectacular harbour views. They share a nice bathroom, but no one else was staying so we had it to ourselves. Ray, our hostess, presented a beautifully... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Craig-ma-Cair means "rock of the fort". Our House was named after the huge rock that obstructed the Stonehaven Harbour entrance centuries ago. The house was built in 1896 to accommodate the herring industry and was set up as dwelling rooms on the first and second floors and a general merchant's shop on the ground floor. Ray's family bought the house in 1951 and their background is fishing. There is a poem dedicated to her Dad (Johnny Watt) hanging in The Tolbooth Museum on the Old Pier and on the stairway at Craig-ma-Cair which gives you an indication of the character he was. Husband Raymond runs the Shell Hoosie on the ground floor and there you can treat yourself to a tasty ice cream and browse around the varied display of nautical giftware. ... more   less
