Clean comfortable en suite room the bed was very comfortable. We appreciated the little extras the tea tray was well thought out with nice cups and great selection of teas along with coffee and biscuits the fridge was a nice touch with bottled water included. The library in the hall was a nice touch also and the buffet breakfast was just fine start to day. Perfect location for walk to castle and beach also nice spot by river just opposite with benches to relax and read or just enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Co op few steps away for any provisions and Kilmarnock arms hotel where we had supper lovely setting great menu friendly staff. Was just perfect and looking forward to next visit.

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.

“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.

“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

“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.
