10/10 Exceptional

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.
Harry, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Didn't quite meet expectations.

The hotel room had excellent sea view. The hotel itself lacked charm or character. The decor felt tired and unappealing. It felt more like a guesthouse than a hotel. The bar area and dining experience lacked atmosphere. The sea views from the dining room were indeed great, but the dining room itself felt more like a canteen. The food was fine. We ate there for breakfast and dinner and no complaints there. A short walk out of the hotel to a footpath leading into town with good views.

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.

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.

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
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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,
