This place needs help. The room was fine but there is no one around to help if there’s an emergency, causing me to have to call the literal Cullen police and enlist local businesses and another guest just to help me get out because I was locked inside my room. The staff were zero help and even communication afterwards was disrespectful and they put all the blame on me. They are too cheap to refund me even though they said they would.

A pleasant homely little hotel , pleasant staff and clean and as they don’t serve food your room is well stocked ,kettle, microwave, plates , knives, forks,spoons etc . It’s not the Savoy but if your booking a cheaper place to stay I would say it’s just fine ,

Two night stay. Rooms are extremely clean and beds are comfy. Room’s aren’t en-suite and, ultimately, it’s a pub with accommodation, but it’s great value and the owners couldn’t be more friendly.

Myself and my husband and the dog were meant to be headed off in a campervan, a bit of nc500 and possibly to Orkney, but after budgeting and realising we could litteraly fly round the world for the same price we were at home in Aberdeen …

Shared bathroom but that doesn't bother me so that was no issue. Slept comfortably and the room had a homely vibe. No breakfast included but staff were very welcoming and I enjoyed my stay.
