Famous for both fishing and its harbour, it is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy a coffee, whilst taking in the magnificent views.

We have been coming here since before C19 and every time the quality never changes. The patio door gives ever changing views of the sea and sky and its great watching the orange ball appearing first thing. The kitchen dining room is huge as is the lounge. The sea can be seen from every room and I mean every room! There is a small farmers market at both Montrose and Stonehaven on the first Saturday of every month. The food experience in this part of Scotland is exceptional and there is no need to use a supermarket. The Lobster Shop in Johnshaven has limited hours due to weather conditions, so its best to telephone to enquire and to order. We are returning in the Autumn.
