Our fist visit to Montrose. Lovely hotel which met all our needs in terms of friendliness, cleanliness, amenities and location.
We had a very plentiful, tasty breakfast.
Great atmosphere in the evening when there was a live band and a busy function suite.
Have already recommended this hotel and this town to friends.

Lovely room. We had an evening meal in the bar and the food was excellent. Breakfast was included and there was an excellent selection of cold buffet and cooked options. Again, lovely and very friendly attentive staff. If you want a tranquil location then do go and you won’t be disappointed.

The Hotel is lovely and has just been full renovated and upgraded.
The Location is ideal as its overlooking the Golf Course and there is a few restaurants and bars just across the road.

I was in room 4 (single room) where the bathroom was across a 3 foot corridor. This wasn’t an issue really, as I never saw anyone from the two other rooms on that landing, the only thing I did have to remember was to take the door key with me or put the door on the snib so I could get back in!
Bed comfortable and room spacious for a single.
Breakfast room & kitchen both spacious.
Owners welcoming and pleasant.
Would stay here again.

Welcoming for dogs - they provided dog towel and dog blanket as well as dog bowls and rubber mat. Great location and also right beside the bus stop too if you want to catch the bus.

This is a beautiful wee cottage did not disappoint in any sense. My sat nav was not the best and had problems as it just takes you to an area as opposed to the actual house.
Would definitely go back for longer as there are so many areas to sit outside

The best area to stay in Johnshaven is right in the village centre, particularly around the harbour.
This area is the heart of Johnshaven, offering easy access to the picturesque working harbour and the village's main amenities. You'll find a few local shops, a pub, and places to eat within a short stroll. The village is compact, so everything is conveniently located.
For couples looking for a relaxing coastal escape, staying near the harbour is ideal. You can enjoy quiet walks along the coastline, watch the fishing boats, and dine at local establishments with sea views. It provides a peaceful base for exploring the surrounding Aberdeenshire coast.
Families will also find the village centre suitable. The proximity to the harbour provides a pleasant setting for children to observe the boats, and the village has a play park nearby.
When is the best time to go to Johnshaven?
The best time to visit Johnshaven is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its most pleasant.
During this period, you'll find the warmest temperatures and the most daylight hours, which are ideal for exploring the coastal village and its surroundings. The sea air is generally mild, making it comfortable for walks along the harbour or enjoying the local seafood. Summer is also when local events and festivals are most likely to take place, offering a chance to experience the community spirit.
For those who enjoy outdoor activities like coastal walks or exploring nearby nature reserves, the late spring (May) and early autumn (September) can also be excellent. The weather is still generally calm, and there are fewer visitors, offering a more tranquil experience.
