Lovely boutique hotel backing onto the A98 at Cullen and almost in the shadow of the magnificent Cullen Viaduct. Walkable in minutes to the most stunning beach and also to many scenic bays along the exciting coastal path to Findlater Castle (and further: we walked to Findlater Castle, then took a taxi back to the hotel). Wonderful restaurant downstairs. Perfect cooked-to-order breakfasts. The most kind and helpful staff that we met on our holiday. Cullen is a beautiful place and the hotel staff here were extremely welcoming.

We were very happy with our stay at The Royal Oak Hotel in Cullen. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed our meal at the hotel restaurant and the breakfast was excellent. The hotel is on the main road but very near to the old centre of the fishing port.
