Well worth a stay!
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.

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.

Good hotel but needs to address a few issues.
The hotel is well situated and the staff were very helpful. Our room had a very comfortable bed and seemed to have been recently renovated & decorated. There was a table with two comfy chairs looking out to sea which we enjoyed. However the electrics had not been adapted fully to accommodate the renovations meaning there was only one useable socket. The plumbing in the en-suite had also not been brought up to date meaning the toilet was difficult to flush and took a long time to fill up, The door handle easily jammed too - we did report these things. Updating the ensuite and sorting out electrical sockets would make such a difference. The food was actually very good but would recommend avoiding the expensive 30 day steak, I ordered medium/rare and it came very well done. The hotel needs to tweak a few things to make what is essentially a nice place to stay into what people expect these days.

What a view
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

Lovely staff and a great location opposite the bay. Didn't manage to get one of the rooms overlooking the bay but enjoyed an excellent meal in their restaurant with the views.
