Oh dear. Used to be great, but can't even serve a pint of guiness (short and fizzy), and they tried to charge us twice!

Terrible service and not very welcoming. Our food took ages and when it did arrive the soup was cold. Not very friendly or apologetic. The bar smelt of stale beer.

This is like a tap house with a great choice of beers. And the food is very nice. It just feels like you belong there when you are just sitting relaxing.

The Beef Carbonade (Flemish Beef Stew) - was simply the best I have ever tasted. I have eaten beef bourguignon and various versions of Beef in Ale or Red Wine or Stout in a selection of places from local pubs to a number of Bistros in France even some expensive ones in Paris - but never tasted better. Incredibly tender and also full of flavour. Hats off to the chef. It was Sunday lunch - very busy - but all the staff were also very professional and on the ball. Fantastic experience

One night stay. Hotel was great, a really busy bar with a good atmosphere. Rooms were decent and clean. Only a continental breakfast option but it was adequate. We did not eat here but the restaurant was full. The staff were great. Definitely worth a visit. Hotel has great views over the harbour.

Super restaurant ! L’emplacement est top, juste sur le petit port charmant. Avant de manger vous avez un bar au rdc pour prendre une petite biere en terrasse. Le restaurant au premier étage est un regal, et les prix sont très corrects. L’accueil est parfait, et le lieux fréquenté par des locaux. Une carte et des plats du jour donnent un bon choix. Allez y sans hésiter, mais attention il vaut mieux réserver ou arriver tôt

It’s a superb pub, hotel & restaurant overlooking the ancient harbour. However, I just find one of the greatest places for great bear. Wonderful atmosphere, great food but most importantly, the real ale is as good as it gets. We’ll kept, nice staff & a great choice.

We came as a family of ten. We were told once we arrived that there was a slight delay with food orders. We finally got starters and then we waited for an hr and a half for mains. This is totally unacceptable as one of my family is diabetic and had not had a starter. The restaurant upstairs was not full to capacity so can’t understand why the delay was so long. This is my first visit in a while and although the food was nice my brother in law had breaded fish whereas I had battered. He was disappointed when his fish was half the size of mine. I don’t enjoy leaving negative reviews but something has to be dealt with to ensure food orders are not delayed as long as this and to ensure portion size is the same for each individual

Die Überraschung des Schottland-Urlaubs: Direkt am kleinen Hafen von Stonehaven gelegen, unscheinbar daherkommend, mit Blick auf kleine Fischerboote, das bisherige Dinner des Urlaubs - im Marine-Hotel: saftiges, ja herausragendes Lamm, leckere Rosmarin-Soße, gedünstete Strauchtomaten. Kurz: Das Lamm war das Highlight. Die Kids waren mit der Pasta happy. Auch das Stew war klasse. Als Südafrika-Freunde gab es gar einen Chardonnay von Vergelegen aus Stellenbosch. Insgesamt passte die Preis-Leistung - ein toller Dinnerabend!

My wife and I stayed overnight in July 23. Our room overlooked the harbour and it was wonderful lying in bed listening to the water lapping on the beach. Dinner menu was excellent but my pork schnitzel was overcooked. When I mentioned it to the staff they apologised and we were not charged for it. I admire an establishment that admits a mistake. The bar was a delight with a fantastic selection of real ales. Breakfast next morning was Continental with really good coffee. All in all an enjoyable experience and we will definitely return next time we are in Scotland.

Had a few drinks in here yesterday. I noticed that they were showing golf on Sky Sports and the Scotland football match in the evening, so I came in tonight to watch either the cricket or football match (England). The TV wasn't on so I asked if they were showing either of the events. The guy behind the bar thought for a second and then said "no I don't think so" in a way that made me think ... Not for you. Given that many of the guests in this tourist spot are from England I would have thought they would be more keen to oblige requests from us neighbours. Apparently not. No reason offered.Later overheard a waiter muttering as he went back from serving customers "the things we are expected to do".

I went here for lunch with my family and we sat outside. In accordance with the guidelines we had a reduced menu, no problem. I ordered at the bar and asked for my daughter's bean burger to be vegan. To our surprise this meant just the burger and chips, no salad or bun! The salad and the fish and chips were fine. I did feel that the bill was very expensive and when I queried it they admitted they had charged me the indoor prices and offered me 4.50 refund. Very expensive for what we got, will not be back.

We took my daughter here for her birthday lunch. This included 5 adults and 2 children. My youngest granddaughter is only 17 months and has difficulty sitting for an extended period of time. We had a lovely lunch and the service was very good. We were however disappointed to hear one waitress say to another in the kitchen how annoyed she was that we were walking around with my youngest granddaughter. Would she rather we had kept her sitting and then screaming the place down. I realise it is difficult for staff when people are wandering around but we always try and stay out of people’s way. We try and minimise the impact on others in the restaurant. I am sorry to say that this upset my daughter very much. She does not like to feel that she has annoyed people. The waitress was very young and probably did not understand why we were walking around with her. However if staff have a problem with it then talk to us. Do not make nasty comments about us especially within our hearing. I like the Marine very much and have gone there on many occasions but I will not be back as this spoilt what was supposed to be a nice day out. I have given this rating based on how upset you made my daughter not on service or food. It is a shame that we left with such a bad feeling.

We went here for lunch and walking with a crutch I can’t walk far so we were lucky to get a car park space directly outside . We got seated and had a very nice lunch and a good chat but when I asked where the female toilets were i was shocked and I mean shocked to be confronted by a door which led to a steep set of stairs with one handrail only on one side ? Seems the men’s toilet is downstairs why this is the case I don’t know and why it can’t be made into a disabled toilet baffles me. The food is very nice here but if I had known about the stairs I would have stayed away or even if the staff had told me on arrival or if there was a sign somewhere but nothing. This is a very set of steep stairs very daunting for anyone unstable even with a crutch. I can’t fault the food but the lack of disabled facilities is shocking . The other point to make is that the kitchen is next to the toilets so staff coming up and down the stairs are trying to either get past u or have to wait till ur down or up the stairs which made me feel flustered having to hurry up .

We eat out having seafood often and this was disappointing. The seafood that was given was unseasoned and bland. We enjoy seafood without fancy sauces but some basic seasoning/cooking skills were amiss. Not even some salad dressing on the wilted sad excuse for a salad on the side. Chips were pale, dry and tasteless. Don’t waste your money! Hugely overpriced and a very small portion. The small size of the portion would have been more of an issue if it had been worth eating. To make things worse there was not a smile in sight from either of the restaurant staff serving us. Not good.

My daughter and I stayed for one night in this quaint seaside town after a long day on a self drive tour visiting castles in the area. Based on previous reviews and photos we had high expectations. We were sadly disappointed, and for the cost of £110.00 for one night, it wasn’t worth it. Firstly the good stuff. The staff are fantastic, all of them where eager to help you and very polite and kind. The location is spectacular, we had views of the bay from our room and truly could never tire of it. The town is lovely, do take a walk down the Promenade from the hotel and enjoy the sea views and cleverly placed sculptures. The room, on the surface looks stunning, just don’t look too close. The double bed is a small double bed, which we shared and slept terribly, at 5’11” it was short for me, and narrow for two adults. We don’t take up much space but struggled to sleep well without hitting each other. The carpets were dusty, you can smell the dust, the walls dirty and scuffed if you look. The size of the room was good and adequately decorated but growing tired around the edges, with curtains that needed a good deep clean and maintenance. The bed itself, lets just say we slept better at a Premier Inn on route to Stonehaven from London. The shower, well we didn’t use it. One not too sure how I could have used it as the shower head came to my shoulder and when I moved the shower head inches of dust fell into the bathtub. (Picture attached) Now for the breakfast, we passed. I recognise this is not the staffs fault, and the girl on staff was lovely, but the flies, oh the flies where in everything from the fruit to the cheese and deli meats to the pastries, I couldn’t eat it, watching flies crawls all over the food. So we went for a walk and found a lovely cafe called Mollys. So to end, if your after a view and don’t mind a cramped bed and dusty musty smell, you’ll be grand.

We popped into the Marine for lunch after a walk around Dunnottar Castle. I was pleasantly surprised to see an excellent range of real ales on tap, with some brewed at their Six North brewery in Laurencekirk. The staff were very friendly and knew their beers, and recommended a 6N hoppy pale ale, two pints went down a treat! The menu was superb, and the food arrived soon after we placed the order, and was excellent. The atmosphere around the bar and seated areas was friendly and inviting.

Decided on a whim to visit Stonehaven on Bank Holiday Monday for a few beers in the late summer sunshine and to grab a bite to eat down at the harbour. The Ship Inn had stopped serving food! Really? Walked along to the Marine Hotel and had quite possibly THE best chicken wings ever absolutely delicious! Blue cheese dip was gorgeous as well. Do yourself a favour and go try them. You won't be disappointed.

Been here many times and its always fantastic. The food is really fresh tasting and the choice is great. The young lad is efficient and friendly and the service is excellent. Has lots of fresh local produce for sale too and their is a large soft play area for kids. Good value for something that bit different and I strongly recommend going here.

Popped in for lunch while walking at Haddo. It was quite busy with about 10 people in front of us in the queue for lunch but we decided to wait anyway. After about half an hour we were wishing we hadn’t as we were still in the queue but reluctant to leave now after waiting so long. Two people were at the front taking orders and making coffees, while others were seen in what I assume was the kitchen making orders. When we finally reached the front of the queue we were told they had no soup left, we decided to order paninis and we’re told it would be another 15-20 minute wait, I also wanted a coffee which I asked the older woman working if I could get this with the food, her response was “it will be cold” she was making it now regardless. By this time there was only about 2 or 3 people behind us in the queue. I had no option but to take the coffee then which was obviously finished when the food was eventually ready about half an hour later. In the end the food was average, can’t go far wrong with a panini which was served with a mediocre salad. We won’t be visiting the cafe again, although the house and grounds are great. After leaving we realised there was Mrs Smiths just beside the car park where we could have bought baguettes for half the price.

Both the dinners and breakfasts were of good quality ingredients, well cooked and presented. Special mention of the steak pie -fairly large and very tasty. All food had to ordered either the night before or for dinner in the morning

My wife and I visited the fraserburgh branch today to be greeted by a rather rude young lady behind the counter who looked like she would rather be anywhere else but at work. We said "Hi" and recieved a frosty grunt in return, as this was the first time we had visited your coffee shop we where not sure on what to do so asked if we could sit down, to be abrutly told "No you order here first, then try and find a seat, if there is one" My wife wanted a "spiced chai latte with marshmallows and I the same without marshmallows, but not having had one before asked what it was, the response was " it's just a powder I chuck it in a cup and add milk, I asked if we could have marhmellows In my wife's one, she told us "no! we ran out ages ago and don't bother with them any more, if you want I can squirt cream ontop instead" I said yes, but it arrived without cream. She then asked if we wanted coffee in it, I asked if that was included in the price but was told not it's Xtra to add coffee, we opted to have coffee in it. We decided that we would try your banoffee pancakes and asked the girl if we could have them and she replied "sorry we don't do that anymore, it's a waste of bannanas as no one ever orders it, so we don't bother buying the bannanas, I asked why it was still on the menu then, her response was, "it just is" I can put a pancake on a plate and squirt cream on it, then squirt toffee syrup on it if you want, I passed. When our dinks arrived there was no cream on them, nor any coffee in them, they just tasted like sweet milk with tons of ground cinnamon, The girl had a face like thunder slammed them on the table and before we could say thankyou turned round and stormed off. It was very unimpressed by the drink and so was my wife, the lack of caffine in it and the cream we ordered was a real off putter when we finally got to the bottom we found a black lumpy sickly sweet sludge that we could only imagine was the “powder” the girl had referred to earlier (see pics) Then I visited the toilets, which as can be seen in the pictures where disgusting, most of the damage and mold was directly above a baby change and the sewage was leaking down the walls.
