We have just returned from the Cullen Bay hotel, we had a wounderful stay in the Turett Room. The view's are to die for right over the bay and out to sea. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff could not do enough for us. I would recommend the Scottish breakfast in the room overlooking the bay, it sets... More

It may be because it was New Year`s Day and they felt they could get away with it since no one else is open but the food was terrible. I ordered baked potato and turkey which according to the menu was `fluffy` - it was nothing of the sort, no attempt had been made to make it appealing, the flesh... More

We were asked to wait in the lounge before being seated, we then proceeded to wait for 30 minutes to be seated -... More

Visited the restaurant twice in the summer of 2010, both times was delighted with the quality of food. The first time we had not booked, and while we waited for... More
