Firstly the only reason this site does not get a clean 5 stars across the board is the little bit of road noise from the main road into Stonehaven, and it is a little bit of road noise. The sound of the sea is good. This is not the first time we have stayed at this site. With it being New Year we were expecting there to be more site noise. Totally wrong. There was a carnival with rides set up beside the site but they finished early evening. Caravan Club wardens get a bit of stick from some quarters but the ones at Stonehaven are superb. We arrived about 20 minutes early and were quite prepared to wait but pitches were vacant and we were welcomed on. The site is ideally located for a short walk into town or an even shorter walk to one of the best fish and chip shops in the UK , and also an incredible ice cream shop. There is also a restaurant . If you have a four legged friend with you there is a nearby park or coastal walks. We don't like too far away from this site but are happy to go there as Stonehaven is excellent and the welcome and friendly atmosphere on the site is second to none. All CC members should visit this site at least once. All CC wardens should visit this site and see if they come up to the mark. If all sites aspired to be as good as Stonehaven every site would be fantastic.
