Lovely site

We stay here regularly on our annual trip to Scotland. This year we stayed four nights north bound and again four nights south bound. It is a wonderful site, perfect by the sea for walks, pleasant town, lovely shops and all adhering to Covid rules. Felt very safe. Site is clean, tidy and well kept. The only annoying thing is WHY do others keep walking across occupied pitches to take a short cut to toilet block or water points! It is particularly bad at this site. Excellent fish and chips and ice cream two minutes walk from site.

Great location but watch out for the thieving Seagulls!

As motorhome members we find it difficult to find sites that are conveniently located to facilities, as we choose not to bother towing a small car behind us, so we rely on walking or our fold up bikes or public transport, so it is very refreshing to find a site such as this - adjoining the seafront, a short walk to the town and local attractions and the choice of either bus or train connections to Aberdeen etc. The site and facilities are very tidy and clean. The seagulls are a nuisance as other members have reported, but that is a national problem. Having completed a tour which included staying at eight club sites and two weekend stays previous to the tour so a total of ten sites in the last six weeks - it is interesting how each site interprets the COVID-19 guidelines. Southport site in particular are farcical, so I think the club should set out the rules and regulations for their wardens and not leave interpretation of the guidelines to the wardens themselves, so that we members know what to expect at each site.

A seaside gem

A great site in an excellent seaside location, well situated just behind the beach, quiet witb easy access to all facilities. Plenty to see and do despite Covid. The historic town of Stonehaven is well prepared for visitors and has given a lot of thought to visitor safety. Highly recommended!

What a surprise!

This was our first visit to Stonehaven. It appeared to me that the site was a stepping off point for Aberdeen. The site staff were new so could offer no advice. What a surprise to find a delightful town. There is no promenade instead a boardwalk takes you from the site along the beach, to the harbour. Enjoy fresh lobster, straight off the boat! The town has a good selection of shops, a town hall in the main square and some beautiful buildings just back from the sea front. Aberdeen is a bus ride away as the park and rides have a height restrictions for Motorhomes. A nice city but disappointingly quiet. The Covid restrictions have had quite an effect on what should be a vibrant city. Plenty of lovely coastal walks straight off the site. Pretty good cycling as long as you are ok with some steep hills! A well located site and a surprising nice area to explore. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Excellent Site, another great relaxing weekend

Said it all before,a lovely well run and kept CMHC site. New wardens this year, I didnt catch their names, but very pleasant and friendly. In the current climate we can only congractulate them on how good the site was looking and cleanliness can not be faulted. As a previous reviewer pointed out there are seagulls! We certainly on any of our visits have never been particularly aware of them causing problems on site, but we were on the east coast of Scotland and I suppose they can be an issue, having said that on the west cost of Scotland we get midgies. I dont think we can blame wardens on the west cost of Scotland for that really. Well done wardens on keeping a lovely very popular and busy site to the standard that you do. Graeme & Anne.

Seagulls and Long Grass

If you fancy having uninvited visitors in to your awning, helping themselves to your BBQ whilst cooking, covering your car, caravan and wife in poo (not just a little splat)then this is the place for you as you won’t be disappointed! I don’t normally write reviews but given the towns issues with the Seagulls I thought I would make you aware. Just type in Seagulls along with Stonehaven and you will be presented with the facts, they are a total pest and need sorting as driving visitors away. Positive site facts: Toilet facilities were very clean Easy Access for large vans/vehicles Negative site facts: Bins we’re overflowing and didn’t get emptied until late afternoon. Long grass, it was long throughout the entire site and didn’t get mown the time we were here!

Excellent site and lovely wardens

We booked for 30th December as a first night away in our new outfit. Nowhere had hogmanay available so we chose Stonehaven as somewhere we could go on from. We arrived just after 4pm and had a lovely welcome from Anne. She suggested a good route round the site to avoid any problems with manoeuvring which was very helpful. We found a nice pitch and set up fine. The site is just a stone’s throw from the beach and a very popular fish and chip shop. We asked abou the possibility of a second night and were told to pop back in at around 9am the following day. Sure enough there had been a cancellation and we were able to stay for the fireballs to see in the new year. It was an easy walk into the town along the sea front and, as it was such a crisp sunny day, we carried on up to Dunnottar castle (said to be the setting for Disney’s “Brave”) along the coastal footpath. Heading back in the afternoon we were invited for mulled wine and shortbread in the office with other members. Anne and Brent were very friendly and we met other folks who had made this a regular stop/occasion. We would highly recommend the site and will definitely be back.

Excellent Site, another great relaxing weekend

Said it all before, just can not be faulted as a site. Superbly clean and tidy. I give location as a 4 star only because my own preference is West Coast, Scotland, but that`s just me. Site filled up quite a bit even though the weather was not great (blooming awfull), but still never feels cramped or busy. Pitches have loads of space and the drying room was made full use of. Winter wardens were still out and about as usual doing their bit`s n pieces and always have time to stop and have a bit `yak` about something. Being right on the East Coast you do always get a bit of a breeze blowing off the North Sea, but some stunning sea views and photos enjoyed. Great for us for just a couple of nights away as it is only 40miles from home so wont be long before we are back again. Thanks again QE Stoney.

Immaculate as usual

Just returned home after a 2 night stay at Queen Elizabeth Club Site, Stonehaven. We can only repeat what we have said before, a lovely well kept site. Val and Pete continuously working on site to keep it looking great and well maintained. Plenty of space on all pitches and on hardstanding, which at this time of year means not tramping muck and grass through the Motorhome which is a bonus. Early evening Mrs H was at the ladies shower block and noticed the internal handle on outside door had worked loose. I went over and reported it to Pete who before I had returned to Motorhome and put the kettle on was already at the door re-fitting the handle. I should add that it was horrendous weather at the time. Always loads of hot water for showering and in dish washing room. We got a couple of good soakings out walking so the drying room was made full use of. It`s just always a 10/10 for the site with regard to its upkeep, cleanliness, facilities and the warm friendly welcome that is generated from V&P. Enjoy your winter break guys, after 9 months of hard work I think you deserve it. Graeme & Anne

Great Last Stop

Our Highland coastal tour ended in Stonehaven, after 10 days. We, without knowing it, saved the best site for last. We picked Stonehaven for the fish and chip shop there, they do fabulous fish! After a very friendly greeting, we found the facilities to be fantastic both in layout and cleanliness. A short stroll along the promenade, we saw dolphins leaping out of the water in the bay, takes you into town. Next time, we go to Stonehaven, it will be for the fish and chips plus the SQEP!
