Early morning light drifting in and everything still quiet outside. One of those soft starts where the view does all the talking and you just pause for a moment, taking it all in.

Beer, cider, sunshine (manifesting), street food, live music, Scotland playing football… and then a dreamy sleep in your own comfortable lodge.

That’s the Midsummer Beer Happening weekend sorted.

It’s running 11th–13th June at Baird Park, Stonehaven and we’ve got Craigeven Lodge and Skatie Lodge free for anyone wanting to turn it into a proper getaway.

Festival fun by day, coastal calm by night.

Stonehaven comes alive next weekend with the Feein’ Market on Saturday 6th June — one of the town’s best-loved traditions. From local makers to music, food, and that brilliant community buzz, it’s always a highlight of early summer.

If you fancy making a weekend of it, we still have Craigeven Lodge and Carlin Lodge available. Both perfect for a relaxed base just minutes from the action.

A lovely excuse for a little Stonehaven escape.

We hopped on the Stoney Express at Market Square this morning. Along the beach front to the caravan park, up the coast to Dunnottar Castle then down to the harbour and back. Only £6 per person with hop on hop off service. Stonehaven was super busy with a cruise ship tour. It was great to see tourists and locals enjoying the sunshine and exploring the town.

Aberdeenshire weather - ever‑changing, dramatic, and absolutely beautiful in its own wild way. One minute glorious sunshine, the next heavy rain, then hailstones rattling the windows… and back to blue skies again.

Our beautiful K9 concierge Raven is 9 today. She continues to offer world‑class welcomes, expert tail‑wags, and absolutely zero respect for personal space.
Dalriada wouldn’t be Dalriada without her 🐾
