An independent, warm & friendly hotel with burning log fires, complimentary Wi-Fi throughout and ample parking, situated just 10 minutes from both Peterhead & Ellon. We take great pride in our food, all of which is locally sourced & cooked to order by our team of experienced chefs.

The hotel is situated within the heart of Cruden Bay, just 800m from the renowned Cruden Bay Golf Course & is a short stroll from the beach, harbour and the imposing ruin of Slains Castle, where the hotel's once-regular guest, Bram Stoker, gained inspiration for his novel Dracula. Just a 30 minute drive and you can be in the city of Aberdeen, passing Newburgh, Trump International and Royal Aberdeen Golf Courses on your way.

Having been recently restored, the hotel holds 16 en-suite bedrooms all unique in their aspect, which remain sympathetic to the design of this historic building. The hotel has a selection of standard, attic, garden view and patio rooms available to suit varying budgets and requirements. We can now boast 2 purpose built pet friendly ground floor rooms with tiled floors and a patio area leading from your bedroom. The patio area incorporates a small private garden perfect as an en-suite for your pet. You can access the rooms through the main hotel or via a private door making them pet perfect.

For meal times, our bright, airy dining room and warm, cosy lounge are both available depending on your preference, with all menus being available in all areas, including room service. Please take a look at our sample menus online. Pets are welcome in both the Lounge Bar and Public Bar. The ‘local’s’ public bar, shows all major sporting events, including Champions League matches, so feel free to ask our friendly staff if there is something particular that you want to watch.

We feel that we offer a home from home experience for businessmen, leisure guests, pet lovers & golfers alike, but you don't have to take our word for it – simply log on to Trip Advisor to see what our previous guests have to say about their time with us.

We hope to welcome you soon...
