The flat is about 150 m from the scenic harbour, 5 mins walk from a full range of shops, and 20mins walk from the main line train station( 15 min ride to Aberdeen). Stonehaven is a resort that remains popular as a family destination for short breaks. It is a seaside town with a harbour and a long sandy beach. The flat overlooks the beach, and so offers access to a whole range of activities in the area.

There are many entertainments available with Stonehaven itself. There is also a sport centre, and gym, outdoor tennis courts, bowling and putting green and indoor crown bowling facility.   For those who like to play sport there is an 18 hole golf course on the far side of the bay (situated on the Highland Fault) and continuing along the clifftop.  For children there is also an advernture playground and a skateboard/bike ramp area.  More adventurous sportsmen chose to try surfing in the bay on rougher seas!

For those who want to travel a little further there is good access to Aberdeen and the towns of the Dee Valley. The flat gives a good starting point for walking and cycling tours of the area and there are 2 or 3 excellent walks starting from the front door (e.g. 2 miles along the cliffs to Dunnattor Castle, of up the River Carron into Dunnattor woods). Stonehaven is a centre for folk music and boasts an annual festival and has weekly events and its own specialist folk music shops in the town centre.  There are two horseriding schools just outside the town, and many moutain bike tracks.  Two nature/bird reserves are within cycling distance.
