The rooms were sparkling clean, spacious and the staff was polite and friendly! Would absolutely love to stay here again. We had the bay window to look over the ocean and watch the sunset and it was beautiful!!
Older well maintained hotel with brand new bathroom fittings (walk in shower with on demand hot water). Gorgeous views from the hotel. Dinners and breakfasts were very good. Hotel staff was helpful on what to do in the area (and warned us of a bridge that was out). Not far from many Speyside distilleries.
Our room was described as a cosy standard double with sea view. We expected a small room so we were very surprised that the room size was of adequate size with a generous bathroom. We found the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had dinner and breakfast and the food was lovely. There is a easy walk to the village which is very pretty. Worth the visit.
The staff we fantastic could not do enough for you ..the food was excellant breakfast options superb choice .
views superb nice walk into cullen village short walk .
Service was excellent, all staff were very friendly. Food was excellent though a bit expensive. Good sea view from restaurant and room. We were there on a very quiet weekend.
Though the hotel looks tired in some of the outside areas it is an excellent place to stay with warm and helpful staff and good food
Views are excellent
Could do with a welcome pack with WiFi password etc
This is a super hotel, pleasantly decorated in a "beach hotel" theme. Fantastic situation overlooking Cullen bay. Staff exceptionally pleasant and efficient. Food excellent
One of the best hotel stays we have ever had. Simple, clean, super attentive friendly staff. This place should put on clinics for hospitality service. Absolute top notch. Would HIGHLY recommend.
A surprise two night stay to celebrate my wifes birthday.
Room had lovely views of the Moray Firth and beach.
Likewise the restaurant had fantastic sea views.
Good Breakfast selection and restaurant menu was excellent with good quality locally produced fresh food.
The Cullen Skink to die for!
A nice quiet and picturesque path leads from the hotel to the town of Cullen.
The hotel has has a bit of a makeover in the rooms and they are very good the food is amazing and the prices are a bit lower than the were on a previous stay staff were friendly and provided excellent service the only slight fault in my stay was the room curtains do not cover the window and the two large lights in the car park make it difficult to sleep with the amount of light coming into this particular room. other than that it was a great stay to be recomended to others

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This hotel is looking very "tired" and the exterior could be more attractive. Although the evening menu was fine for fisheaters, most of the other options were "OK" and limited for the price charged. The shower did not work on arrival day although this was remedied within the hour (too late for our dinner booking though!) Had a memorable visit some years ago, but was slightly disappointed in the property,

Rooms very small and there was very little space around the double bed.
Two senior members of staff seemed to be the only ones able to make any decisions and the young girls who made up the rest of the staff were polite and eager to help, but didn’t seem to know what to do.
