“I found the family-run hotel prioritizes authentic Scottish dining, with a menu catering to various dietary needs. Its charm extends to dog-friendly services and a garden space, which, in my opinion, creates a welcoming atmosphere. The closeness to Cullen's coastline and amenities, including on-site whisky and craft beers, is a definite advantage.”
