Grant Arms Hotel

I enjoyed my night here. It is right in the centre of Cullen with a supermarket across the road and a few cafés and nice shops very nearby. It is more of a guest house with a downstairs public bar (than a hotel) but fully sufficient for a night or two. They don't offer food but I was very impressed to find a microwave and plate and cutlery in my room, along with the usual kettle. So you can easily bring food from the shop or a takeaway to eat in your room. The bed and bedding were very comfortable and the ensuite shower worked well. I was greeted politely and when taken to my room I was shown the heating, which was very thoughtful.

The building is a bit dated, so don't come for a fancy trip away,. Do come for a traditional guest house vibe in a lovely Scottish coastal village.

Good location for my purposes - visiting the Portsoy Boat Festival (10 mins drive), and in the centre of Cullen, close to sea, museum and shops. Pleasant helpful landlord, quiet room, comfortable bed, microwave and kettle, with tea, coffee etc. Bathroom large and modern, shared with one other room (though I never saw anyone else), and second toilet available right beside it. Everything very clean and pleasant.

Wifi signal not very strong.

A true proper inn. Got the key from the bartender, and they give me a quick tour of the room. I paid a bit extra for the en-suite bathroom. Restaurants and shops in easy walking distance.

Just a little dented and dingy in spots but it was clean in the ways that mattered.

central clean & tidy

Friendly welcoming staff. Secure space to store out bicycles overnight. Microwave in room a good idea.

No food available, (I knew this when I booked), but nearby cafe excellent.

Quiet and comfy
