Cullen Bay Hotel

This was our first time at Cullen Bay Hotel, and won't be our last. We found the staff friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a stunning location overlooking the bay - well worthwhile booking a room with a bay view! The bedroom was excellent and the ensuite had an amazing shower. Food at the hotel is excellent - you need to try the Cullen Skink. Service both for dinner and breakfast was efficient and friendly. If you enjoy walking then this is a must visit place.

The hotel was small, with amazing views, and a nice relaxing atmosphere. Our room was comfortable with a good bed, although the route to our bedroom was winding and up and down stairs - not easy with a suitcase. The staff could not have been nicer- very friendly and very helpful. The food was excellent, beautifully cooked and presented and clearly frequented by locals coming to eat there too. Beautiful view of the sea from the dining room and a lovely informal atmosphere, where diners dressed however they wanted. We would definitely stay there again.

It's a while since we've been to the Cullen Bay Hotel but we are so glad we booked there for dinner! As usual, we received a warm welcome and after a couple of drinks in the bar we were taken to our table. We were fortunate to get one of the window tables which provides a fantastic view of Cullen Bay and surrounding area. The view itself makes the visit worthwhile on its own! My wife and I shared a bowl of Nachos, which we knew would be more than enough knowing that the main courses still to come would be a good size. They were lovely and tasty. The mains were delicious. I had the Highland chicken. The chicken was so moist and tender and the haggis stuffing was beautiful, served with a lovely sauce, vegetables and the best mashed potatoes I've had in a long time. My wife had chicken fajitas, which she thoroughly enjoyed with the usual trimmings. The puddings were too tempting to ignore and we shared a baked Alaska and a fruit crumble. They were delicious and made a lovely change to the usual puddings found on menus. My wife and I had a lovely evening: very friendly and attentive service; beautiful food and a fantastic setting. Thanks Cullen Bay Hotel.

Had a brilliant time at the Cullen bay hotel at the end of May. The weather was great. We had 1 day of fog and rain out of the 10 days we were in Scotland for. We stayed for 6 nights and enjoyed every one. The room was comfortable although we looked out over the car park and the countryside. We had a comfortable sofa so we could sit in the room when we needed to. It was spotless. The sheets and towels were lovely, white and clean. A good shower too. The lounge area needs a little attention to make it feel more cozy. It was quite dark and cool but this was such a small issue we didn’t mind. We ate in each night and the food was delicious. We tried most things on the menu and were never disappointed. Breakfast menu was good too. My husband had kippers 3 times fresh every day from the smoke house in Buckie. The chef came out to check he had enjoyed them. Staff were excellent. Every one of them but especially Gail, Marian, Caitlin and Keira although they were all as good. They remembered our names and room number so we never had to tell them when we were ordering food or drinks We can’t thank them enough for making our holiday in the north of Scotland as memorable as possible. We can recommend this hotel to anyone

What a lovely place! I visited with my husband in April and despite me being ill and the weather being pretty awful, we had a really nice few days - our room was great with a comfy bed (most important thing!) and superb view of the sea. The staff were nice, especially Carrie in the restaurant who was always cheery and rather than flinching away from my appalling coughing even took the time to find us a lemon for our (medicinal!) hot toddy. Our turret room was delightful (and I wonder if we were given this one because the staff remembered my comment on booking about the fact this was a (very) rare break for the two of us - many thanks if so, it made the stay feel extra special; congratulations to the previous occupants who had apparently become engaged during their stay!). Good restaurant food and tasty breakfasts. We would like to come again - hopefully in better weather and health!

Another brilliant night at Cullen Bay. Excellent welcome, service and food. Newly refurbished reception area looks great-well done. Food and drinks all brilliant as always. Cannot wait to return, hopefully overnight next time. keep up the great work.

All good. We are both disabled, so parking and entering the hotel from rear entrance is perfect, we've stayed several times,and always satisfied.

Went to the Cullen Bay Hotel for a Birthday meal and were not dissapointed. Starters l had the Cullen Skink ( excellent) my wife had the Haggis Bon Bons ( Excellent again) the only down side was 3 thin slices of chesse/garlic bread cost £4.00 !!! The mains my wife had the Haddock, Smoked Haddock, Salmon and Prawn fish (10/10) l went with the Burger etc again very good. For afters we had apple crumble with ice cream and my wife had the custard with it . Staff were excellent. Would we recommend The Cullen Bay Hotel- Yes

Very accommodating for an elderly birthday. Food was great very hot and served just at the right timings. Staff were attentive and checking everything was ok. The only thing I’d say it is better to address the customer as Sir, madam rather than pal and sweetheart. I know everyone is different and it’s a personal thing but in a professional capacity, people should be addressed appropriately this would make the customer experience 6*. It was great food at a reasonable price. We will be back we enjoyed it so much
