• Sybil (10/5): - Small room, but had everything I needed. No bad. Points
• Iain (10/5): - Excellent location, very modern and very clean and comfy.
• Nick (8/5): -
• Katja (9/5): - Great place!
• James (8/5): -
• Griffith (10/5): I totally recommend this place. - It was our second stay here, and we enjoyed it even more than the first time. The owners of this place are so warm and chatty. There is nothing to dislike about this place. It's so cosey.
• Griffith (9/5): - Was clean and in a good location. Really near the local shop, pub, beach and marina.
• Dominic (8/5): - Even though it states B&B, it is only Bed! There is one cafe in the village near the place. Otherwise, clean and close to Cruden bay golf club
• Stephen (8/5): Wasn’t what was advertised - The town is great It was advertised Bed and Breakfast and off street parking. There was no breakfast and no off street parking
• Joseph (10/5): - Had a twin room to myself for 1 night. The room was spotless. Celia was very welcoming. Celia doesn't do breakfast anymore but there is a superb cafe 5 minutes walk away called Harbour Dunes. Scottish breakfast was delicious.
• Bethany (10/5): -
• Damian (10/5): - A very charming and well-located B&B (without breakfast). The host was extremely kind and welcoming, and the room was spotlessly clean. The location is excellent, close to everything you might need. The room itself was a bit small – opening a suitcase fully was a bit tricky – but overall the experience was very positive.
• Stephen (10/5): -
• Paul (10/5): Highly recommended but breakfast not available. - The welcome and check-in by the owner was warm and friendly. She was immediately there at the door. The room was small (a twin) but everything was perfect. Beds fine, ensuite shower was fine. Good value for money and CLEAN and TIDY. Booking.com reservation mentioned "optional breakfast". When I contacted the guest house to ask what time we could get breakfast, the nice lady said "we no longer offer breakfast." Not a problem but it should say so on booking.com. We went along the road to the beautifully located and well designed Harbour Dunes diner. The food, the coffee, the service was not great if you're fussy like me. So I can't recommend a breakfast option locally and it's a shame the guest house no longer offers it.
• Claudio (8/5): -
• Alex Tudoran (10/5): Great place for solo travelling - This was a very nice room + bathroom in Cruden Bay, so clean and orderly, also a bunch of amenities I wasn't expecting, there is a smart tv too which was very useful. Thank you! There is not much space in the bedroom to move around, I wasn't bothered though as I was solo travelling this time and just needed somewhere to sleep for the night.
• Ellis (9/5): -
• Gillian (10/5): Homely Place - Proximity to beach good car parking
• Allan (10/5): Excellent - Terrific hostess - very welcoming and made to feel at home. Room was absolutely comfortable and spotless. A hidden gem and would 100% recommend staying here. On street parking not a problem with plenty of safe space for your car in front of the property. A nice walk to a huge clean sandy beach and harbour area. We have family who live close by and we will be back. Thank you Celia Nothing - all perfect 👌
• Neil (9/5): enjoyed our stay - we loved the stay great area for walks nothing
• Jason (10/5): - Lovely little room with everything i needed. Everything was spotless and in good order the hardest thing to do was get out of bed in the morning so comfortable i will be back
• Moira (10/5): I would recommend it and I would come back . - Sorry,No,Breakfast as the ladies husband is not very well. I liked where the B & B was it was peace and quiet and a lovely location. I have nothing to fault about it,just I waited on a bus and did not turn up ,thought I would have a change from driving.
• stuart (10/5): - Excellent B&B. Mine was a last minute booking and have no regrets. Lovely Choices for breakfast. Water in room fridge was a nice touch.
• Gregory (9/5): A lovely stay in Cruden Bay. - A pretty place in a nice location next to the golf course. Nicely appointed with a great breakfast and very pleasant host. We really enjoyed our stay. It's perfect if you're on a golf trip and we'd recommend the golf club for lunch or dinner. It's fantastic. The room we had was quite small, although this was very normal for guest houses in Scotland. Lovely for winding down and sleeping but not spacious for hanging out.
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

• Donald (10/5): Great spot to recharge and get away from bigger tourist towns. Hostess Celia was an absolute darling - Location was great. Close to beach access, Slains Castle and golf. Cruden Bay is not a tourist destination unless you are a golfer but it is a lovely spot to stop along the coast for a break from the bigger tourist spots. Rooms were comfortable and very clean. Hostess Celia was gracious and very informative about her little town. Rooms were a little small but comfortable and very clean. They were also very well organized with coffee and tea plus snacks as well as a small mini fridge with complimentary water. We were there during a heat wave and it was a little warm without A/C.
• Dawn (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful house and room, spotlessly clean, wonderful location

• Joe (10/5): By the Bay - Great place to stay stayed in a lot of accommodation an this is buy far one of the cleanest places I’ve stayed would highly recommend also kind helpful owners was a pleasure
• Francis (10/5): Modern Property - Very modern property clean with private access, great shower and the room has own temperature control. Did not have breakfast so cant comment but dinning area was very well laid out and again modern. Would definitely come back.
• Richard (10/5): Nice B&B - Nice and friendly host. All following COVID guidelines and very clean. Choice of brown toast would be nice but getting picky there! Didn't get a VAT receipt (business trip) and struggling to get a response from the host.
• Les (8/5): Spot on - Decent place, ideal for working away. Will revisit next time I'm working in the area.
• Margaret (2/5): SECOND VISIT BUT WILL NEVER RETURN - I have stayed here before & left a raving review as had a great experience - but unfortunately not this time. I am travelling on my own with work & my employer ALWAYS books a double room with an en suite. When I arrived Celia took me to a room with single beds?? I said no, I have an executive room with an en suite. She said the only room left was this one with single beds or one that wasnt en suite but the bathroom was along the hallway. I was not happy but thought its now going into evening - but really annoyed as I had put an extra 40 minutes commute both ways to stay here. I reluctantly agreed to this. Then Celia said she would leave my new room key on the table downstairs. I then went to this SHARED BATHROOM to freshen up then was going out for a walk. Went downstairs to get key and Celia said she had left them in my room??? What??? When?? Oh when I was in this shared bathroom she went into my room? That is an absolute breach of my privacy and I was so offended and annoyed. WHO DOES THAT??? Later on I was getting more annoyed as when I went to this shared bathroom I had to lock my bedroom door - creep along - and was even worse when I had to go for a shower as I had to take everything. I left early next morning without evening saying goodbye - contacted Hotel.com who were great and refunded me my money in full. Never will I recommend this place now. Will never return. There was no apology last night either - a female travelling on her own & I get a shared bathroom?
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The best bed and breakfast I’ve stayed in modern clean and welcoming 😍
• Andrew (10/5): Warm House with a Warm Welcome - Warm house and a warmer welcome. Lovely place to stay in a lonely area. Staying for work but would be happy to bring my family.
• Carl (10/5): Picturesque - Lovely B and B
• Alison (8/5): Lovely B&B very good hosts - Very friendly hosts lovely cooked breakfast one of the nicest I’ve had. Unfortunately for me I found my pillows very hard with no give, and no choice to change so hardly slept but I believe from talking with the hosts that this was a oversight and a choice of pillows should have been provided
• Margaret (10/5): Amazing luxurious accommodation! - I stay regularly in hotels/Guest houses due to my work. I have had so many nightmares with bad accommodation I come to expect it nowadays - however this incredible place has got to be the best place I’ve ever stayed in when travelling with work. The place is spotless - welcoming - incredibly modern and everything has been done to a VERY high standard. Its so so comfortable and it was honestly the best nights sleep I have had in weeks. The bed - the pillows - luxury and so comfortable. Your feet just sink into the thick carpet as well. The shower is so powerful and amazing! Thick lovely towels and plenty of toiletries also. Another great touch is the china mugs and the small fridge with bottles of water. The owners are so welcoming and can’t do enough to make you feel welcome. Breakfast is cooked to order and served on china plates complete with silver tea pot - they have thought of absolutely everything! This property is so luxurious - I will definitely return not just for business but for pleasure too as the area is lovely and relaxing.
• James (10/5): Peterhead jaunt - Last minute decision. B&B finished to a really high standard in a quiet location in Cruden Bay. Room was lovely. Our host, Celia, was charming and served a delicious breakfast. Would recommend to all.
