Scallywags Soft Play Centre

If you’re local to Stonehaven, you already know this place is a solid go-to when the weather turns (which, let’s be honest, is often). The soft play keeps toddlers and school-age kids genuinely entertained while parents actually get to sit down with a decent coffee and something to eat — the cakes here are worth mentioning specifically, not just as an afterthought. Birthday parties are well catered for, and the staff seem to actually enjoy their jobs, which makes a difference. Oh, and you get an ocean view while all of this is happening, which feels a bit ridiculous in the best possible way.
