Perfect hotel near Cruden Bay Golf Club

This hotel is very consistent. We have stayed there 3 times and have always been happy. Staff very friendly and helpful. If you have a lot of luggage, ask for a room with the least amount of steps to climb.

Good value with a clean and comfortable room. The food was very good, and the only issue was that our stay was in the last few days of COVID restrictions which affected the atmosphere a little. Would stay again.
