We were very happy with our stay at The Royal Oak Hotel in Cullen. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed our meal at the hotel restaurant and the breakfast was excellent. The hotel is on the main road but very near to the old centre of the fishing port.

Stayed here for a few days in May. Have only eaten here before but thought we would try the hotel as well. Because of the way Brenda and the team run the hotel it feels more like you are staying with family. The rooms are spotless, the food is delicious, and the team can’t do enough for you. Any request at all is simply met with a “nee bother”, im fairy sure I could’ve set myself on fire in the bar and Brenda would’ve come over with a bucket and said nee bother. Best nights sleep I’ve had for a long while. Seconds from the beach, walkable to the town, just a really nice place to relax

A great little pub in a great village setting in the north of Scotland. The hospitality was first rate with the owner and staff more than obliging and happy to partake in the small chat during our stay. Breakfast was included & more than enough to get us through the day. The evening meal was what you would find in a Scottish pub however, I think there is opportunity to expand the menu and be a little adventurous and move away from tradition.
