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.

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

Really pleasant - will be back
We had a really pleasant stay at Cullen, the area is beautiful and we were able to go for excellent walks from the hotel. The hotel staff were really friendly and helpful and always had time for us. We didn’t choose a room with a view but when you have the great view for breakfast and dinner this was fine for us. The room had everything we needed and though a small twin the way it was laid out gave us lots of space and for the price we paid we were impressed. We will be back, there is more to explore.

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,
