This is a new site so as you would expect all facilities top notch,  site is at the end of village and next to beach which is shingle and sand, my first impression of Stonehaven,  well I wasnt happy the Lido next door needs painting and I though what have I come to.  But as we got out and about and walked to the other end of the village the Harbour side this end is different again, very picturesque and oldy worldy, lovely walk to War Monument from here and also you can walk to the Castle.  So my views of Stonehaven were changing.  If you leave the site and walk left away from village you can walk the cliff edge, but beware very dangerous path in places,  this path brings you out at a derelict church & graveyard, from here you can get access to main rd and walk back down to site good round walk.  Yes I would recommend this site,  great if you have Children and they love swimming, we only stayed here for 2ngts, towards the end of Sept but still Stonehaven was a very busy place.    Local shops for food included your Spar or Coop which were all in easy walking distance.   Lovely friendly wardens too.
